Mikey V's Tacos On The Square and Hot Sauce Shop

Literally disgusting, worst meal I've had since covid. The carne asada fries are 5 very basic ingredients: fries, frozen gauc paste, sour cream, shredded cheese, and cubed meat. That alone is very meh. But the problem is the fries were actually repulsive. The fries were made in extremely old fry oil. They came out brown in color and a flavor that made me somehow appreciate In-N-Out's fries. I tried to power through it and eat a few, covering them with the bland carne asada, but my stomach repulsed. The oil was so bad, even my iron stomach was feeling the pain of my bad decision to stop into Mikey Vs. The birria taco was ok, albeit lacking some depth in flavor. The consumé was good. I came in so hungry, I basically picked all the fries out of my dish to eat the other 4 ingredients and try to salvage the $25 I seemingly wasted here. And I did a little experiment. While I tried to sooth my stomach, I though it would be interested to see if any employees would pick up on why I wasn't touching the fries. Negative. Two employees from the kitchen came out and walk by me, and 2 from the front desk. Not a single one asked how the meal was or why I tossed out all the fries.

I got the the hot dog that they have on the bottom right corner of the menu which is bacon-wrapped hot dog with all kind of great stuff to go with it. I got a keto style as you can see in the picture. Also got the taco bowl with ground beef. Neat place hidden in the back of a sauce joint--worth every penny. And then some, because prices are pretty darn good!

This place is a wonderful veteran owned business. The young gentleman named Ash really knows his stuff. Ask him anything about hot sauces? And if it's in there, he's gonna know it, and he's probably going to know if it's not. They make a whole lot of the hot sauces that are available. They also have shirts and several other little novelties, but they focus on their hot sauces. Then in the back, half of the building is a little restaurant where they have some incredible Tacos, we both had, the Gringo and I had a Birra taco so tender and moist with the dip. The lady running the place was incredibly knowledgeable and friendly and was totally up on everything about their tacos, and the chef nailed it. Amazing, If you're in Georgetown, this is a must try..

This is my sister’s favorite taco place and she really wanted us to enjoy them with her while we were visiting. We all had Birria tacos which were good, but, apparently aren’t my favorite. I’d we go there again I will try something else. 4 of our party of 7 really enjoyed them, so I think it’s personal Al preference. The restaurant is cute with a cute shopping area that sells varieties of hot sauce. They will gladly give you samples 😂 The restaurant has a challenge … the Flame Challenge, enter if you dare! We enjoyed the place and would definitely go there again. This spot is on a town square and it’s Poké Stops galore! (See screen shots of Poké World in the pics.)

I wanted to visit this taco place to support a veteran and try out another local taco stand. Wow! I ordered two crispy shredded chicken tacos but I asked them to grill cheese on the griddle and add it to my tacos. OMG! Delicious. The crispy shells are a full on 10/10 because they were cooked in oil that has a great flavor and then they made sure that the shells were not greasy or soggy. They have both a red sauce and a green sauce. Both sauces were tasty, but the green sauce has a kick to it. It will bite back! Cute, friendly place! Enjoy!

So great! Street tacos in an awesome place! Patio or inside eating. The Angry Pig tacos are in my, “do not pass-by without one,” list! And if you’re a little shy of heat, avoid the Angry Pigs as they carry a little anger, for reals! If you’re looking for fine dining, this ain’t it. But if you’re looking for fast, impeccable service with the slowest cooked pork tacos….don’t pass these up!

Hot sauce in the front, tacos in the back! We love Mikey V's. If you want a simple spot to get great tacos and a cold beer, this is exactly what you are looking for. The tacos are still priced reasonably, they taste fantastic, the people are awesome, and the beer is great. We will always keep this place on our list for a great stop on the square in Georgetown.

Birria tacos and the consume was fabulous! Awesome hot sauce store in front and restaurant in the back! Had a few different tacos and they were all so good! Super nice ladies at both the restaurant and who helped us with buying hot sauce! Now my only complaint and for some is not an issue. But I would skip the Birria ramen noodle. Should have known it was going to be a pre done container. Although the Tapatio spicy noodles are not the best and for $10.95 ( for a $1.77 at Walmart bowl of noodles) with what seemed liked a little birria meat was a let down. Was hoping for same flavor and yumminess as the tacos. Not going to fault them on it, as I should have asked.

Stopped in tonight for the first time!!! Glad we did! I ordered a Pop's Crispy Taco and a Shredded Chicken Taco. We also ordered the guacamole & chips and salsa. Everything was yummy! My son ordered the quesadillas with chicken and thought they tasted ok. They seemed a little burnt, but we ate them all. Hubby ordered the same as me and loved his too. Food came out quickly. Chips and salsa are an extra charge but yummy!! We will definitely be back! So many items to try!

I happen to eavesdrop on a film crew asking for food recommendations at one of the boutiques on the Square. This place was highly recommended so I slipped out and made my way over. If you're new like me, you may think you've missed it since the front of store is a shop selling hot sauce and the like. Grab one of the piña coladas and get a tamarind rim before heading back to eat. The taco shop has a food truck vibe and in addition to the tables inside there's also a patio. I wanted a torta but wasn't hungry enough so just got a pair of tacos and chips and salsa. The Jefa taco was my favorite because it was like the straight up humble tacos I've had in Mexico. Just served with some onion, lime, and cilantro; perfect. I also tried The Texan but there were too many beans for my taste. When I come back I've got a list of things to try: the Cali taquitos, the Tijuana dog, the Torta Carne Asada, and/or the Flaming Chet-O taco.

You want tacos at the square and hit some good hot sauce on the way out? This is your place! Have a beer, gravy sine tacos, migle with friends, enjoy the retail and sit back and relax. This is your place. I've been coming here for a while now and will continue to come in. I love the whole experience of the place, the staff and the food especially. People are so nice and friendly. I love me some tacos any time of the week!

This is a small but humble shop with liquor sales and Spicy stuff in the front of the house and a GREAT restaurant in the back of the house with a few tables and small patio in the back. OUTSTANDING crispy tacos w/ ground beef - or your choice of chicken, etc. These are on the small size- but actually perfect ! ! They also have excellent hot sauce and guacamole. Their menu is very broad and inviting. YOU CANNOT GO WRONG HERE ! !

Ehhh honestly, the food is kind of mid. Got the birria tacos with consume as well as the al pastor taco. The flavor was lacking especially in the al pastor meat. The consume and the red/green salsas they offer is what gave the tacos flavor. Food taste 6/10. Also the price is pretty steep (~$5 per taco) considering how tiny the tacos are. We were kind of let down with the overall experience. Don't think I'll be back, rather go to a ghetto taco truck for half the price and richer flavors.

Great service and good tacos. Located in the back; get your beers up front. Stop in if you're on the square.

We were at the Georgetown square and visited here based on Yelp reviews. I'm so glad we did! It is located at the back of the hot sauce shop, so once you walk in and keep walking back (after perusing the shop) until you hit the restaurant. It is small so seating is limited, but they do have orders to go if you need. We tried some different tacos, but the ones you need to concern yourself with are the Beef Birria tacos w/ Consume. Hard stop. Do not pass go. Just get these tacos! They are super cheesy and have the best consume I have ever had. And the price is very reasonable. I've had other birria tacos since eating here. Mikey V's has ruined other consume for me. No one can do it like them. I think anytime I visit Georgetown I'm going to have to stop here!

YUM! Stumbled here during Poppy festival and wow the Birria is So good. We had one taco and came back for a second round. So much flavor and good sized portions. Some of the BEST Birria tacos we have ever had.

Came in to buy some hot sauce and grab a frozen drink to take with me. The drink was on point and definitely what I needed at that moment in time! As for the hot sauce, the last time I was here, maybe two years ago or so, there seemed to be a lot larger variety of sauces to choose from. Though the walls are absolutely covered in different sauces, it seems like 90% of them are under the Mikey V brand. The one that I had previously seen and had stopped in to buy, was no longer available which was disappointing. Oh well, at least I got a good drink out of my visit! Maybe next time I'll try some of their food options.

Cute little place with fast and great service--especially considering there is only one person working the front of the house. I only had the carne asada burrito so can't comment on anything else but it wasn't great. The carne asada was flavorless cubed pieces of meat that were extremely tough and it seemed like they were soaked in some kind of cooking oil. The guacamole was good though.

Love popping into Mickey V's for a quick lunch. And replenishing my hot sauce and salsa when leaving.

Al pastor taco - was very plain/flavorless. The pineapples were also dry. Birria tacos - also underwhelming. The dipping sauce was nice, but it just doesn't hit like Birria tacos should. The only flavors really came from the salsas. Service - service was really nice though! Ambiance - inside was small/intimate/casual Overall, wouldn't come back.

Really amazing place for tacos! We found this hidden gem when went in to shop for some hot sauce! We have been back several times! Such a great place for birria tacos and breakfast burritos! I have been looking for a good breakfast burrito! I finally found one! We got a bacon and sausage breakfast burrito, both were divine! The bacon was burnt in my burrito but next time I'll ask for it to not be that way. My husband loved his burrito. The eggs were fluffy and delicious and so were the potatoes! Parking was easy to find on the square also! Sometime parking is not so easy but it is worth the long walk! The servers are very helpful and nice! I love the ambiance it is busy and loud like any good place should be! I will be back soon!

My son and I love Mikey V's .. Today I tried their menudo for the first time .. It was good, but nothing to brag about .. It just didn't have much flavor .. The tripe was nicely cubed and tender .. I won't get it again .. Their tacos are delicious and their Consommé Ramen is Slap Yo Momma Good !!!

Consistently great food. Every time we have guests in town, we take them here first. Best food in Georgetown.

I liike tacos. You gotta go. Stopped by Mikey's yesterday because I was early to another stop that didn't open until 10, and hey, who can't use a taco, especially if you skip breakfast. Nutrition tip: don't skip breakfast. Anyway, I stopped in, walked through the front end of the store - very well stocked with Salsas & Sauces! - and headed for the taco deck. There's a very good menu on the wall to the left of the counter, but I of course wanted to order a la carte. The counter person - a very patient (and attractive) - woman with good humor helped me along and soon my order was in the kitchen. Less than five minutes later I had two warm - large! - tacos in my hands featuring the green sauce. Not the hottest green sauce I've had, but delicious. So, the rating: Food - excellent. Large tacos full of fresh flavorful food cooked to order. No gas station pre-made wimpy tacos here. Service - excellent. The woman who helped me went out of her way to make sure I got charged for what I ordered without any extra mark-ups for a la carte. She was super helpful. Ambiance - cool little shop on the Square in Georgetown. Who could ask for more. Will I be back for more? In a word, Yes.

I have been to this location too many times to count, and during those times, I have never had a bad meal nor bad experience. Soooooo...if you happen to be around Georgetown Art Center, visit Mikey V's Tacos On The Square and Hot Sauce Shop. Why? Because here you can enjoy perfectly cooked Mexican tacos, birria and beef dip as well as pick up some hot sauces, tchotchkes and enjoy a cold one. The last time I came in was with Thing Two, and instead of getting the traditional birria tacos, we opted for something different, hence the long overdue review after the umpteenth visit. So, here we go- Surf and Turf Taco These steak and shrimp tacos will have you wishing everyday was taco Tuesday because they are packed with tons of flavor and are delectably juicy. The shrimp for these tacos were plump and fresh and the steak was tender. The tacos are topped with Cotija cheese and a hit of Mexican seasoning to take the tacos up a notch! These tacos hit the back of the throat with a BAM (Emeril Lagasse like). Briria Quesadilla These birria quesadillas are savory, smokey and cheesy and are filled with birria, cheese, onions, and cilantro.This entree is big enough to share because of the generous size. The consume for this entree is just salty enough to elevate the birria but not so much so that it rendsets the cheese too salty. #supportlocal

Tacos are great. Birria tacos are a specialty, and highly recommended. The pork (carnitas) tacos were outstanding. Reasonably priced and generously sized. Counter service only. Layout is slightly confusing. It would be nice to have a slightly lower cost version of chips and salsa/guacamole.

What can I say about this amazing establishment that hasn't aleady been said? The food is phenomenal! I know it's a sin to say you're from CA but the carne asada is the closest thing to what we had back in Nor Cal. First time there we had the surf n turf, birria tacos with consume, al pastor, carne asada torta and two pops in a blanket. The surf n turf should always be on the menu IMO. The torta was sensational with the super fluffy bread. Pops in a blanket is a play on a popular chain's cheesy gordita cruch but obviously 1000x better. The birria was surprisingly bland so was the consume, the al pastor was ok but the other foods were so amazing made us go back. We've been back 3x in the past 2 weeks all the way from Cedar Park with the sole purpose of going to Mikey V's. The little shop in the front is also super awesome and has cool tamarind/tajin candies. My only wish is if they could put spanish rice in their burritos or offer it on the side for some of us heathens to add to our burritos and to get jucier limes.

The positive reviews for this restaurant don't make a whole lot of sense. It was our first time eating here and we were not impressed for the following reasons. I ordered the taco rolls. When they arrived, and I bit into them, they were cold. Not only were they cold they were completely under seasoned. I have had cafeteria school food that has tasted better than this. I knew it was going to be a little cold because the cheese they sprinkled on top hadn't even melted. It was $6 for three of the subpar taco rolls. When my husband looked through the little area where you can see the workers working, he saw that those products were actually frozen and just reheated. They were being refried. If they were being refried, how are they served to me so cold? It makes no sense. His pork taco was also served lukewarm. Did you guys just leave our food out and forget to hand it to us fresh? Makes zero sense. There are so many other places in Georgetown and in Austin that serve better tacos. If you used to live in an area where you are used to really excellent Mexican food, don't come here.

I live in Oklahoma, and my support for Mikey V's has extended all the way here, 6 hours away. When I tell my friends (who frequent the RR/Leander/Georgetown area) about Mikey V's, they have eagerly given their time and money to the establishment. Recently, I was devastated to hear that the #1 burger I've ever had in Texas was silently decommissioned. You need to understand that I'm 300+ pounds with a set of killer taste buds. I've had burgers from almost everywhere you can imagine. My declaration of this burger as the best in central Texas is not something I say lightly. I've managed to overlook it not being on the menu, even when I had the burger for lunch and then took my family 30 minutes north back to the restaurant, raving about this burger, only to be told it did not exist in front of them. My wife was worried that I might be having a medical or mental episode, but I knew it existed, as did some of my great friends. I endured all of this because I believed Mikey V's would eventually do the right thing by making this burger available at all times of the day and perhaps even marketing it properly. I am in utter disbelief to hear it is gone. I love this establishment, but swift action is required to bring back this burger. I will maintain my 1-star rating until this is done. I'll be returning in the coming months to follow up on this.

Good little tacos. I'm always pleased with this place when I go. I also appreciate the fully enclosed back patio - nice place for quick tacos with my tiny kiddo. Staff is all nice, as well. Worth a stop. I go back every few weeks or so because they just get it right.

Was looking for some potato tacos on this Friday during lent. Although they didn't have the potato tacos (they should) I ended up getting a couple of bean/cheese tacos and the veggie tacos. The bean and cheese were very good and I didn't get any on my shirt neither!! But the star of today were the veggie tacos. Some places will call the veggies they use for the fajita plate as their only veggie filler, not Mikey V's. There was grilled zucchini, onions, mushrooms, peppers and corn... and did I mention they were grilled? They were delicious! The only tweak they need is to add fresh jalapeño slices and to grill them till they are charred. These tacos are great for meatless Fridays and any other day of the week. Next time gonna try them in a quesadiller or burrito....

Im not going to say this place is bad, the food is actually quite decent if you need a quick fix. I admit, the tacos are good. The birria is good, the consome is good.. pero no manches.... (But dont be silly) my wife ordered a quesadilla... added birria and the price doubled!!??? Wow... all im saying is this. Although the food is good(not dammm that was amazing) I dont see the value in doubling the charge. Service is good... the girls at the counter are great, but dont ask the kitchen staff for something out of the norm.. looks like they wanna come out and get gangster with you... im down... just dont let my church gente be around. Always a good hang out joint front shop always busy... people are happy. Like i said .. food is good.... Could be better and not expect Monday to Weds people to pay the rent with the high prices.

I came in for breakfast tacos and was not disappointed! 10/10 will be back! The line to order was quick and we didn't wait too long for our food to be ready. I tried the crispy breakfast taco and it was slap yo mama good! Not to mention they also have an abundance of hot sauces to chose from. The fun plus side is you can look around the store while you wait for your food. I look forward to my next visit.

These are the best Birria tacos I have ever had in my life. I have been to prolly a handful of places here in Austin but these take the cake. Under $4 per taco and they were well worth it. The Consomé is brilliant here. My daughter had the quesadilla and was not your average dilla. It was very good and very big. We also tried the Carne asada street tacos and those were above average. It's a small dining area but it works out with people buying their food and walking around the square and people sitting. Customer service is fast and they are knowledgeable. I had an allergy request and they were on it. Oh and the guacamole is absolutely amazing and Incredibly smooth. I will be coming here a lot more. Thank you!!

Delicious food and service. Their birria tacos and guacamole are amazing! Looks like just store when you walk in, but don't check out the back for some tasty bites!

I ordered two tacos; Pops in a Blanket and a keto birria taco. They are known for their birria tacos. I thought it was just alright. Also, I didn't think that they should charge $1.50 extra for their consume sauce. It should come With all birria tacos. As for the pop on a blanket. It sounded odd, but came recommended by the young man at the counter. Essentially it is a crispy beef taco wrapped in a bean soft taco. I was surprised how much I liked it. I can't wait to come back and try more things as well as pick up some of their bottled sauces in the front store.

Birria tacos with consommé are out of this world! Just keep the consistency of making the flour tortillas extra browned and crunchy. Sometimes they don't cook them enough.

Love love love Mikey V's on the square!!! I would argue they're the best tacos on this side of 35. The vibe in there is amazing, the employees from both the shop and the restaurant are always so kind, and of course the food is delicious. My only request is that they would stay open later! You know what always sounds good after a night of drinking and socializing on the square? TACOS. In all seriousness, if you're looking for a solid breakfast or any other kind of taco, this is the spot... and it HITS the spot. *insert drool emoji*

Great taco's in Georgetown Texas Going to have to bring the family next time I go ,

Food taste and quality,temperature all Good! Kinda hidden in the back of A retail shop but go Through the store front and you will find it.

Wow very very good tocos and for this area around Austin / Georgetown Texas that is saying a lot .. the chili is great but once again tocos are perfect .. a little pricey for a taco so come on Tuesday and try them out on there special night and prices are better. Recommend you give it a try ..

This place is local and cozy. You actually walk through the hot sauce shop to get to the restaurant. There are a few tables inside with additionally patio seating outside. It's counter service with super friendly staff. They were happy to modify my tacos. I had the birria and Al Pastor tacos with the mild green salsa. They were both good, but the birria was my favorite. I've never had one before, and it was absolutely delicious. I loved the ooey gooey cheese and seasoned beef. So good.

Friendly faces and great food. We have enjoyed both their breakfast and lunch items. Each time we are surprised by the portion sizes, in a good way! I suggest sharing entrees when you can. Great price. The place is small inside, but comfortable.

Ayyyy, I have a hard time writing this because I really want to love this place. Ok, so my husband picked up breakfast there after school drop off and we do live in Hutto so the time in delivery could be a factor in some issues. I saw 4.5 stars and immediately got excited for some yummy tacos. We got 2 birria tacos, 2 hangover tacos, and 1 sausage potato burrito. Birria tacos- SO GOOD. So so so so so good. Definitely something I would get again, which makes me think, is this more of a lunch place? Because this dish is delicious and it's more of a lunch item... (note to self- go for lunch) Hangover tacos- crispy taco with eggs, cheese, and bacon bits. Meh. It's nothing to write home about and it just was not for me. Breakfast burrito- this thing was massive but the flavor wasn't there. The potatoes and sausage tasted stale and bland, not seasoned at all. Salsas- I enjoyed them, both a little spicy but nothing crazy. Not the best but certainly not bad. In conclusion, we paid $28 for 4 tacos and one burrito. I will be giving this place another chance based off of their Birria and I'll update later on.

Anyone who's Asian or Hispanic will recognize their "Chin Gao" challenge is a bit racist. Also the barbacoa taco was gross. Who puts all sorts of spices and lime in the meat?! It's supposed to be, meat, a little salt, onions, and cilantro. Would never go back. Unfortunately was visiting family so had no choice really :/

Delicious tacos that were affordable and fast. The birria tacos were delicious and a side of consume is huge so get a few to go with it! Or get the birria quesadilla which is massive. The surf and turf is also excellent. Server was friendly and helpful. Ambiance is... the back of a hot sauce shop, but who cares when the tacos are this good?!

Y'all, where do I start!? How about when you walk in, you're greeted with friendly smiles and a cool, knowledgeable staff! Then you're drawn to the wall of sauces of all sorts and spice! From mild to oh my flippin Hotness!!!! I love the hot and mild taco sauces and sweet ghost pepper hot sauce. But there are just sooo many great options for the hot sauce novice and or connoisseur. After shopping the front and before heading to the taco shop in the back, you should get a beer, frozen margarita or soft drink from the front. The frozen peach margarita with a sprinkle or three of spice is my fave! Stroll on back to the taco ordering stand for some scratch made street tacos. I absolutely love The Texan and the Beef Birria with Consume!!! Fiesta in your mouth!!! I have so many more to try! I just love this place and will beba regular forever! Cheers Y'all!

Does anyone know what's Mickey's last name? I guess it's a mystery. Headed down to the good ole Mickey V to grab some breakfast tacos to start off the day. Got 1 steak and egg and 1 build your own with egg, potatoes, beans, sausage, and cheese. Now the tacos are served with red and green salsa. I put both sauces on my tacos just so I can get a lil kick start to my day if you know what I mean! Everything was scrumptious! Anyways, give Mickey V's a chance. Maybe you might be lucky and meet Mickey himself! If you do please ask him what his last name is for me. Till next time!

There are a lot of great Mexican food options in Georgetown, but if you are looking for a good taco, Mikey V's is the place to be. Whenever we spend a day on the square we always plan it around grabbing lunch, or a "snack," here before we head out. We've eaten our way through most of the menu now and I feel confident in my appraisal: The Birria taco here is one of the best Birria tacos I have ever eaten, and the consomé is unbelievably delicious! Food is served out on the patio which is a nice little reprieve from the hustle of the square, and the service here is excellent. Even though it's not waiter service in the literal sense the food runners always make sure you have everything that you need. If you're in Georgetown and you haven't already, you need to stop in!

I love Mikey Vs food so much. The best taco is the Hot Cheeto taco, but everything here is always so good and at a good price. The shop is also a good place for beer, snacks, hot sauce and gifts. I visit here almost every time I'm at the square.

My favorite taco place! Lots of great choices. Carnitas is my favorite. Friendly fast service. Seating inside and on the back patio. Nice quality food for the price.

Food and service was great!! I had the carne asada burrito and barely left anything! Delicious!

I really enjoyed these tacos. We went with the craving of birria tacos and they were as amazing as I'd hoped they would be. The cosume was flavorful. breakdown: birria tacos can come with and without cheese/ with and without consume. al pastor taco was amazing The Texan was fire! so amazing salsas were bomb. both red and green but not sold in the front shop d/t its so fresh...not shelf stable Mexican street corn was amazing Put it this way, we liked it so much we ordered 2 extra birria tacos My only critique is they were on the small side for the price but I know that everything on the face of the earth cost more right now. The staff member was so polite and would come again for sure. Be sure to stop in the front on the way out. we bought garlic, salsa and jelly - the kind with booze in it. a little bit of everything availabl...

For breakfast this place is pretty decent! My only complaint is I wish they had more options without eggs mixed with meats. The flavor was delicious though and the salsa options spot on! Delicious! We would love to try their lunch/dinner options next time! It is a smaller area with tables seating four max so just know that! But overall a great little spot!

We were very disappointed with the tacos al pastor. They lacked flavor and the meat was either overcooked or reheated.

The menu has /will be changing, so as of this writing the website is incorrect. They state it should be fixed by Jan 2022. See my pics for the current / new menu. Birria tacos are killer, sauces are killer, but went for breakfast. Personally, I'll stick with the lunch tacos. The steak taco was meh. The Gringo taco was good with crispy potatoes, but they didn't do much for the overall taste. I think the culprit in both tacos were the eggs. A little runny or loose for a ambled eggs, but absolutely no flavor. Definitely need salt and pepper. But I can understand that you have to make a huge seasonless batch for service and then flavor it yourself. So fair warning if you do get the breakfast tacos.

Food and service in the store are AMAZING. The sauces are life changing. I had an issue with a holiday order but went into the store and was able to purchase everything I needed and then some... and everyone LOVED their gifts! My issue was resolved and all is well! I'd recommend doing business in the storefront on the square if you are local. The gentleman working there was so great and helpful and knew everything about hot sauce! He helped me duplicate my online order in the store with some great recommendations in time for the holiday. He's a gem! He will taste test sauces for you if you have time and help you find your ideal heat level. The garlic scorpion sauce is my absolute favorite and I put it on everything!
