Wacoan Magazine has it as:
1- El Conquistador
2 - Hecho in Waco
3 - La Fiesta

I'm partial to Wacool Tacos chips cause I like 'em thick. What say you?

I'll give OTB on the chips, so long as they are fresh. Because I've certainly had some that had been left out for a bit and its like biting into a slice of pita bread.

That said, they have Coke Zero as a fountain drink and that always earns extra points with me. And the Southwest Chicken Tacos are the absolute best thing on their menu.

OTB is our salsa of choice at the hacienda but I like sweet and chunky.

Ninfas green sauce is the bomb.

We went to OTB as El Con was closed for New Year's.

And OTB was awful. Very slow service and bad food. Not going back.

La Fiesta doesnt belong on any salsa list.. tasted like dollar store brand picante sauce

We'll have to agree to disagree. Sometimes it might be too watery, but I like the flavor and the heat along the Scoville Scale. I really like when they used Jesse's Tortilla chips, but they switch brands since the fire. The current brand they are using is a little thicker, but my family like them.

I also enjoy the chips and salsa at both Poco Loco and Ninfa's.

Out in left field here but I like Chuys hatch for my chips. They bring out a salsa and jalapeno ranch but if you ask they will bring a bowl of hatch out for your chips. Chips are thick enough to handle lots of salsa so they are ok.
I have found theres only two ways to go:
Living fast or dying slow.
I dont want to live forever.
But I will live while I'm here.

I have probably consumed a 55 liter drum's worth of creamy jalapeño sauce in my lifetime.

Something about Chuys salsa is truly addicting. The rest of their menu i find fair to midland but that salsa is very tasty.

Years ago when my daughter played softball, we always loved to play tournaments at the complex down in South Austin on Barton Springs Road..The original Chuy's was right across the street..Think it's still there..Salsa was awesome..Hate to say that I've never eaten at the Waco location...Our local favorite is,and has been, Ted's El Con..

PA.

LF is the fajita place.

They should just change the name to Casa de Fajita de Huaco con las Golondrinas del Mariachi de Chiapas.

If Fiesta has a mariachi band, I'm in. I don't care how watered down the sauce is.

Not to derail ... but my bride and I are both addicted to Coke Zero. And when Coke did the flavor change a year or so ago we just about came unglued. I even wrote an angry letter to the idiots at Coke. Alas, I lost the fight over a return to the "original" recipe. I even brought up the scam of "new Coke" back in the day all to no avail.
Anyway we kept drinking the swill till now ... we can barely remember that marvelous taste sensation.

Harder to find and never on fountain drink menus, but the real hidden gem is Cherry Coke Zero

its actually called salsa fresca.. it goes great as an addition on many dishes but I agree that it isnt as good as salsa roja with chips.

Side note for the locals- The little gas station in west, buds tiger stop, has great salsa roja with their breakfast burritos.

Agreed. It's pico de gallo being pawned off as a salsa.
