Plaza Salsa


This preparation is one more Mexican variation of the typical and popular tomato salsa. This recipe comes to us from Jalisco and it is a fresh and light salsa – that has a very pleasant hotness.

In the plaza salsa other ingredients are also used that give a spiced flavor and a strong touch. Its texture is soft and its consistency almost liquid – therefore it is perfect to bath tortas and lonches.



*We are not 100% sure of why this salsa was named “plaza" salsa. But we believe that it is because is a very populous salsa that is used a lot and this resembles a plaza.
