Read in EnglishA taco without salsa is simply a tortilla with a filling inside.Eating this traditional Mexican snack without a companion is almost as sad as a day without sunshine at the beach or a birthday without cake.It’s clear that not everyone likes the same level of spiciness, but that’s not a problem: in Mexico, we have a wide variety of salsas for all tastes and all tacos.Do you already know which salsa is ideal for your favorite taco?Habanero SalsaAny dish from Yucatecan cuisine goes wonderfully with this tasty salsa, but especially, cochinita pibil tacos create an explosive pairing with the roasted flavor of habanero.But before you get excited and drown your tacos in this exquisite salsa, we suggest trying a bit to gauge its flavor, as it is often one of the spiciest.Ranchera SalsaThis is one of the basics in Mexican cuisine.In fact, even if you don't consider yourself a whiz in the kitchen, we can assure you that you know how to prepare delicious huevos rancheros (obviously, with their respective homemade salsa).For taco time, buche and ranchera are the best companions.

What is the ideal taco for chipotle? Without a doubt, golden tacos.Salsa MachaThis salsa is a bit more elaborate than the others because it contains more than one type of chili and needs to be cooked for a few minutes.Although it may seem a bit less practical than the other salsas, cooking its ingredients incredibly enhances the flavors of fish crackling tacos, shrimp, or seafood in general.Raw Mexican Green SalsaOf course, we couldn't talk about Mexican salsas without mentioning raw green salsa.Unlike the other salsas that are cooked or boiled, this one is much fresher, and its flavors retain great intensity.And, although you’ve surely seen it on all tables of Mexican restaurants, this salsa is a must-have with an order of tacos al pastor.Drunken Salsa with BeerBeer lovers know that this drink not only quenches thirst and refreshes on a hot day, but it can also be a very versatile ingredient.After frying pasilla chilies and blending them with beer, you will discover an aroma that will make even the most reluctant to spiciness drool.Pork carnitas tacos are an excellent option for this recipe.Tell us: what is the best taco and salsa combination you have tried?
