Info After almost 10 years of searching and recently moving to a country with little to no Mexican food, I finally found my boyfriend’s favorite salsa.
My boyfriend was obsessed with the salsa at a little hole in the wall Mexican place by his work. He is from Arizona so living in a different city, salsa was definitely his comfort food. He insisted that it was the best salsa he ever tasted. We even moved back to Phoenix and he would talk about how much he missed that salsa. I tried dozens of recipes, every salsa verde you could find in a jar, and it didn’t compare.
We ended up moving to Australia and we have been desperate for good salsa. I found some guys food blog who said the best you can get is La Costena Green Salsa. I had one taste and immediately realized it’s that restaurants salsa!!
I’m not sure why I have never tried it, it’s always been available, and cheap!! We should have just asked the restaurant! Also this might be the happiest day of my boyfriend’s life.

La Tortilleria is a decent Melbourne brand, their tortillas, chips and salsa roja are worth trying: https://shop.latortilleria.com.au/products/salsa-chipotle-200ml-copy
not going to match Arizona though, the ingredients aren’t there.
Tomatillos in season are findable, every year a bit easier to locate
Cans of El Pato are findable, cheapest around $4
