10 Best Salsa UK | Old El Paso Doritos and More

This Green Mexican Salsa by La Costeña is our number one choice. Established in 1923 by Vicente López Recines, La Costeña is Mexico's number one grocery food brand. Luckily, it's available to us in the UK, via Amazon.

One of the most popular green sauces in Mexico, La Costeña's take on the salsa verde is a must-have for every table! Made with just a few choice ingredients, including tomatillos, jalapeños and arbol peppers, this salsa is spicy and a little smoky, with a green freshness. Simply the best!

Holy Moly's guiding principle is to create "a better kind of dip" and they've definitely achieved it. If you're after something that tastes homemade, sans any added nasties, their Tomato & Mango salsa is a top choice. Made from fresh tomatoes, luscious sweet mango, and roasted peppers, you won't be able to get enough of this lovely stuff!

Using the latest in packaging technology means that Holy Moly's dips are made from 100% natural ingredients, without the need for preservatives. This leaves you free to enjoy this gorgeous salsa, created locally in Mexico.

Although Gran Luchito is a UK-based company, their products are handmade in Mexico using key ingredients that are native to the country. This combination of local ingredients and a traditional recipe ensures that Gran Luchito's Chipotle Salsa is fresh and authentic.

Made from a blend of fire roasted tomatoes, smoky chipotle chillies and a few other high-quality ingredients, this salsa is full of Mexican magic. Expect a medium heat with a rich and smoky depth of flavour. Yummy!

By this point in the list, you may be expecting more of the same, but we've gone for something you may have never seen before! Mrs Renfro's is a family-run company based in Fort Worth, Texas who create delicious gourmet salsas based on traditional Southern recipes.

Their Mango Habanero Salsa is fiery, fruity and spicy, and will totally transform your dishes, as well as excite your guests. You can really taste the love and care that has gone into this unique salsa, and it's worth every penny.

If you want your salsa to have that homemade taste, but don't quite have the time, you'll love Waitrose's Vine Ripened Tomato Salsa. Made from a variety of tomatoes with onion, garlic and a blend of herbs, it's fresh-tasting and delicious.

Buy alongside Waitrose's guacamole and soured cream from the same range to make yummy fajitas, tacos and other Mexican-inspired dishes. We think the lack of heat makes this salsa more versatile, but you can always add a dash of chilli sauce if you'd prefer it hot.

Both the mild and hot salsa in the Doritos range are totally free from artificial colours or flavours, which wasn't what we expected from the makers of naughty nibbles. Instead, they're made using plenty of natural ingredients, making their Mild Salsa a particularly good choice for nachos night.

It may have a mild spice level, but it's rich, tangy and has a very slight kick. Tasty in tacos, salads, or as a dip, this salsa is one of the best options that's not from the refrigerated section. And obviously, it's delicious with Doritos!

Made without any added sugar, Santa Maria's Medium Chunky Salsa nicely fixes up a homemade Tex-Mex dinner. With a medium level of spice and chunks of tomatoes, onions and peppers, it has a rich flavour that works well across lots of dishes.

However, it's not quite as authentic as the packaging may appear. In fact, Santa Maria is a large Swedish food producer creating various products derived from different world cuisines. Putting that aside it is a pleasant salsa that won't break the bank!

Old El Paso produces Tex-Mex-style foods that we're sure you're already familiar with, as they're widely available in pretty much every supermarket. Created by American food giant General Mills, the brand isn't exactly authentically Mexican but it's easy to get hold of and a reliable option to have in your kitchen. 

Their Thick 'N' Chunky Hot Salsa is indeed spicy, although the consistency is a little watery rather than thick. It's a good choice if you want a salsa that lasts longer than a "fresh" option, but that means it does have some preservatives in the ingredients list.

Doritos salsa has been lining supermarket shelves for years, so we simply had to put it on our list! Their Hot Salsa is, of course, created to be enjoyed with Doritos tortilla chips and they weren't kidding — it really is hot.

Juicy tomatoes, jalapeños, garlic and capsicum come together to create a tangy, spicy salsa that makes for a fun chips 'n' dips sharing experience with friends. However, the level of heat makes it less versatile for other recipes and, once opened, it seems to lose its lustre rather quickly.

If you use salsa a lot and are looking for a product that lasts a little longer, this Chunky Salsa by Old El Paso is a good pick. Coming in a convenient squeezy bottle, it's easy to dollop onto nachos and lasts for up to 14 days once opened.

When it comes to the actual salsa, it's super mild which makes it great for the family dinner table. However, it's on the bland side with a consistency leaning more towards a ketchup style sauce than an authentic, chunky salsa.
