You know someone loves your salsa if they just eat the salsa and don’t bother with the chips. And if you don’t think people do that, just look at the quotes below. Carlos O’Kelly’s wins out this time in a category that was as hot as some of the spicy salsa served around here. Somehow, the folks at Carlos have found the perfect blend of tomatoes, peppers and spices that make theirs the winning dip.
What voters said:
