A Salsa for Every Mood
Our salsas and sauces highlight farm-picked seasonal ingredients prepared directly out of La Cocina incubator kitchen. We blend roasted chiles, organic tomatoes, locally sourced ingredients y nada más! Our sauces are easily transformed from traditional dipping salsas into flavorful marinades, sofrito and finishing sauces.
Roasted Fire Mildish Salsa

La Clásica Chipotle Medium Salsa
Smoky and Kinda Spicy
La Clásica Chipotle Medium Salsa is a rich and deep salsa that doubles as a cooking sauce with the right amount of fire and just a hint of smoke. Add it to one-part broth to enjoy this saucy salsa to braise albóndigas, sauté chicken, grill pork or roast vegetables.

Stay Saucy
This year Pass The Sauced continued to grow and make changes! We offer our trio of salsas year-round: Roasted Fire Mildish, La Clásica Chipotle and Little Red Hot. Our other salsas and cooking saucess are now and will continued to be offered seasonally.
We started our research and development on a new vegan cashew based chile con queso sauce. We are still in the testing stages so look for opportunities to taste on Sunday at the Outer Sunset Farmer's Market stand, via local small businesses, and year round events and PopUps.
We rolled out seasonal sauces: La Sticky Grilling Sauce is made with organic tamarind puree, tomatillo, and sugar cane which gives this sauce its sticky quality. Use La Sticky to marinate any protein for 2 hours to slow roast, grill, or BBQ for a Sticky surprise!
Pasto Herbed Sauce has been a fave and bestseller and is available till current batch sells out. Come one come all every Sunday to sample our Saucy Local Goods at Sunset Mercantile Outer Sunset Farmer's Market 9am-3pm through Dec. 18, 2022.
We always love getting our customers Sauced and will continue our local and national delivery service. Shoot us a message to set up delivery or shipping!

Who Knew Getting Sauced Could Do So Much Good?
From Nicaragua to San Francisco, my Chicana influenced sauces are a product of growing up Latina in the Bay. "It's Just Salsa" ¡Pero Mucho Más!"
Pass The Sauced is all about community. We are proud to be part of the keep-it-local food movement. All of our salsas are homegrown - we source, produce and hire locally. Our goal is simple: to build a more equitable Bay Area with every Saucy bite.
Pass The Sauced is also dedicated to doing our part in protecting the environment. We always jar our Saucy Local Goods in glass and craft our salsas with organic tomatoes and mostly organic or Non-GMO ingredients sourced from Bay Area small farmers via Mandela Produce Distribution out of West Oakland.
Who knew getting saucy could do so much? In the words of my mamanina, "Take it easy, take it light; except on the sauce!"

Meet the Founder
Karla is a native San Franciscan with deep family roots in Nicaragua. She grew up in the Ingleside, a working-class culturally mixed neighborhood miles from San Francisco's traditional Latino barrio, La Mission. Here is where her inclusive worldview was born.
Karla's love and appreciation for Mexican culture, its people and traditions began in childhood as a Latina in San Francisco. Summer vacations spent with her grandparents on their family farm in Nicaragua, always included a stop in Mexico City. Strolls in Garabaldi Square with the sound of Mariachis and the intoxicating scents always led to eating delicious spicy Mexican food.
These early experiences deepened the value of sharing and connecting with others over food. Pass The Sauced salsas celebrate and reflect those traditional values! Karla invites you to experience, share and cook with her Saucy Local Goods.
¡Buen Provecho!
