Best Enchilada Sauce of 2025

"I mainly use this sauce to elevate my homemade bean and cheese burrito. The heat level is subjective, but I find it hot for most people and mild for those like me who enjoy heat. The real magic is in the flavor!"

"I decided to try pouring this into my taco meat for fun, and it was so delicious that I’ve been doing it every time since. It’s just so good!"

"This is a standard enchilada sauce. I couldn’t find the mild version locally, so this has been a great alternative at a fair price."

"This enchilada sauce is a fantastic option for simplifying meal prep without sacrificing flavor. The rich, authentic taste with the right spice balance makes it perfect for enchiladas and burritos. Plus, it's made with organic, non-GMO ingredients, which gives me peace of mind. The smooth texture makes it easy to work with, though I did find it a bit mild, but I can easily adjust that with some hot sauce. Overall, it's definitely a pantry staple for flavorful cooking."

"I recently tried this enchilada sauce, and I’m quite pleased. The rich flavor and just the right spice level really enhanced my enchiladas. However, I did notice the consistency was a bit thin, so I had to use more than I anticipated. Still, the taste is worth it, and it pairs well with both chicken and beef. I would definitely recommend this for anyone looking for a quick and flavorful option!"

"I appreciate the convenience of this sauce's packaging, as I only need a little for my frozen burritos, and the ability to screw the top on and store it in the fridge is a huge plus. The taste is consistently good, and I’ve enjoyed every jar I’ve purchased. It’s a great addition to my pantry!"

"I think this is the best sauce for all types of Mexican food—the flavor is fantastic!"

"I was getting frustrated with my local grocery store not stocking this sauce, so I decided to order by the case from Amazon. It's been a great solution!"

"The other night, my husband got hungry while I was out. When I returned, he had opened two cans of beans and the can of Las Palmas Enchilada sauce I'd saved for my chicken enchilada casserole. He complained it was nothing like the red tomato sauce at our restaurant, saying it 'sucks' and wasn't tomato-y or hot enough for his beans. I like to mix it with tomato sauce for my casserole, but I wish they made it in a box instead of cans."

“I used this in an enchilada recipe that required flour tortillas, and it was perfect! I'm allergic to corn products, so flour tortillas worked better for me. This sauce was hard to find where I live, so I'm glad it was available here on Amazon! Tastes great with a bit of a spicy kick.”

“As a chef and foodie, I can tell you this sauce is thin and good. I use it for enchiladas or lightly toasted corn tortillas with an egg and cheese. I even heat it in the microwave. It’s not salty and can be blended with avocado for a delicious dip. Just a note, Old El Paso should really reconsider the packaging of their taquitos.”

“I made a pork shoulder roast in the crockpot and was excited to use this sauce for enchiladas. I was not disappointed! I prefer traditional enchiladas without cream, and this sauce is the closest to what I’ve been looking for. It has to have tomatillo in it. I’ll definitely buy it again for chicken, fish, and pork dishes.”

"I've been making Mexican-style chili since the early 1970s, and I prefer enchilada sauces made from chilies instead of tomatoes. This sauce is very good and rich, reminiscent of a mole, and I’m thrilled to use it in our chili recipes without tomatoes. Authentic Mexican flavor with chili powders, cumin, Mexican oregano, and garlic!"

"While living in Arizona, I discovered La Victoria Red Enchilada sauce, and it became my favorite for its perfect balance of flavor. I was so happy to find it online after moving to Florida. Thanks, Amazon, for reuniting me with La Victoria Red Enchilada sauce!"

"I love La Victoria Red Enchilada Sauce and have it on my subscription for easy ordering. It’s great with smoked pork enchiladas, especially when I mix in some homemade green chili. I really wish it came in a larger size like the green sauce, but this red sauce is still a hit in our house!"

"I've been using this red enchilada sauce for years, and it's simply the best. I’m grateful to find it on Amazon since it has disappeared from most stores. I can make a quick lunch by microwaving a tortilla with some cheese and sauce for instant enchiladas!"

"Although I adore this enchilada sauce, the price pushed me to learn how to make my own. It’s much easier and significantly cheaper."

"This is the only canned enchilada sauce I enjoy; other brands just taste like water. I buy it in bulk from Amazon because it’s not sold in my local stores, and I’m willing to pay more because it’s so convenient and delicious!"

"My husband makes the best tamale sauce, and wow, are they fantastic!"

"I order this in bulk from Amazon because I use it for Pozole and enchiladas."

"I've been using this brand for 28 years; nothing else tastes like it!"

"This sauce has a great mild flavor and is perfect for my tamales. The pouches are so convenient and fit easily in my fridge!"

"I'm from New Mexico, and I can't get enough of this stuff! I use it for everything from breakfast burritos to casseroles. It's just that good!"

"I really appreciate the smooth texture and rich flavor. Plus, it's fantastic that I can buy it in six packs with reusable lids!"

"I was introduced to this brand as a kid in the 50s and 60s. It disappeared from stores in the 70s and 80s, but a restaurant famous for its Enchiladas shared their recipe, and I learned they only used Gebhardt's Enchilada Sauce. Now, it's the only sauce I use for my cheese, meat, or bean enchiladas and stuffed peppers."

"I had never heard of this brand until I stumbled upon it on Amazon at a much cheaper price than competing brands. After some research, I discovered its rich history in the American Southwest. I ordered it despite my initial skepticism due to its German name. To my surprise, it was perfectly fine with just the right amount of spiciness. It’s great for quick, weeknight meals, even though I wouldn’t use it for something fancy."

"I absolutely adore this sauce! I will order it and have it shipped directly to me because I don’t want to settle for any other brands. I love it!"

"I was surprised by the size of the can when it arrived, as I hadn’t checked before purchasing. However, this enchilada sauce has the best flavor of all the brands I've tried."

"This sauce tastes fantastic and is just as good as making it from scratch!"

"After sampling several options, I can confidently say this is the best! It truly elevates my enchiladas!"
