Loading... Please wait...In Puerto Rico, pique (hot sauce), is as common a condiment as ketchup is on the mainland. The kioskos (food stands) that are throughout the islands usually have 2 or 3 fresh varieties for your frituras (fried foods). Made with whole garlic, peppers and peppercorns then marinated in vinegar over a period of time, these piques are hot and delicious. Our favorite is Mi Madre! Made locally in Puerto Rico and packed with flavor, this pique is great on everything from the lightest veggies to the heartiest steak.

Just came back from PR 2013/02/11, and brought 2 back along with us. Hoping that we can order and have some shipped to Canada. Wonderful flavor and just the right amount of heat.

El pique esta en su PUNTO... Tiene SABOR, No le cambia el sabor de tu comida y te PICA en el "after taste"... Pa'l que le gusta un buen pique moderado pero decente. Te va a picar pero no te quemará los labios.. Es perfecto. Como los que venden el la carretera vieja del campo pero a su máxima expresion...
La porción de 12.5oz es la adecuada si vives fuera de la Isla, pa que te lo disfrutes en las navidades y le des a probar a tus compatriotas y le enseñes un buen pique Boricua a tus amigos de otros paises.
