Bright, saturated jalapeño heat — no tomatoes. Grandma Emma's original.

Hispanic-owned · Small batch · Shipping nationwide
A founding table-salsa line, a specialty line of cooking sauces, and a premium chili oil — every one of them made in San Antonio.

Bright, saturated jalapeño heat — no tomatoes. Grandma Emma's original.

Tangy, roasted green table salsa. The everyday workhorse.

Creamy, avocado-forward and mild. Green jalapeño base.

A ready-to-braise adobo base, with Tacos La Catrina. One jar, one pot, birria in an afternoon.

Smoky-sweet chipotle. At home on a burger and in a marinade.

Cowboy-style salsa with a deep roasted backbone — jalapeño and chile pequín.

Wings, ribs, roasted vegetables. The last thing you put on before it hits the table.

Toasted chile and seed oil. Gluten free, plant based — it spoons over everything.

A co-branded squeeze bottle built with Singhs — our template for chef collabs.

Emma for the heat, Tomatillo for the tang, Cremosa for everybody else at the table. The three that started the company, in one box.

Tío Pelón's makes Mexican-inspired salsas, cooking sauces and specialty condiments built to enhance the taste, appearance and enjoyment of everyday meals. Founded in 2015 by Oscar Pérez in San Antonio, it's the Pérez family's culinary heritage that inspires everything we bring from our table to yours.
“We didn't invent a flavor trend. We bottled the one our family already ate every single day.”
