Saucy Creds
What They’re Saying on the Street
Roasted Fire Mild Salsa
The Perfect Choice
Roasted Fire Mild Salsa is reminiscent of salsas traditionally made in a molcajete. Simple ingredients carefully roasted yield an everyday favorite with just enough of a chile kick. Add to vegetables, grilled meats, braised tofu, poultry or eggs any style!
¡Buenisimo!
La Clásica Chipotle Medium Salsa
Served All Day
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, chicken, pork or veggies.
¡Saucylicious!
Little Red Hot Salsa
The Spice of Life
Little Red Hot Salsa is spicy like its name suggests. Made with five chiles and three tomatoes to accentuate heat and depth, it's a perfect topping, dip or added spice. Some like it hot and chile de árbol delivers that pop chiliheads want! Try with Nicaraguan Vigorón
¡Spicylicious!
La Sticky Cooking Sauce
Cooking as Pure Fun
La Sticky Sauce is a tangy and spicy salsa with a hint of sweetness. Chiliheads prefer it for dipping, but organic tamarind and cane sugar make it perfect for cooking. Just add one-part broth and marinate. Want to grill or bake? Add honey or agave for the perfect rub. Drizzle it for a Sticky surprise!
¡Stickylicious!
Pasto Sauce
Oh So Healthy
Pasto Sauce is a bright citrusy herb-based special fusion sauce featuring ginger, celery, cilantro, lemon and avocado oil. This sauce has infinite uses. Try it with soups, pizza, beans, pork, poultry, seafood, veggies or even as a base for your salad dressing.
¡Riquisimo!
Nacho Mama's Quezo
Pure Liquid Gold
Nacho Mama’s Quezo is a vegan cheeze sauce made with cashews and a unique chile blend lending a perfect hint of smoky heat we call Chipotle Sidekick. This quezo sauce is the result of a collaborative project between two local Bay Area artisans Born at La Cocina: The Uncreamery and Pass The Sauced.

Who Knew Getting Sauced Could Do So Much Good?
Plus Sustainability is Never Boring!
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 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!"
