Diablo sauce returns to Taco Bell just in time for Cinco de Mayo (May 5, 2016) and this time, it's back permanently.

The return of the sauce makes it the hottest sauce currently available on the Taco Bell menu (although the Fiery Ghost Pepper offered with the Dare Devil Loaded Griller may have been spicier).

It's not all good new for the sauce-inclined at Taco Bell though. With the arrival of Diablo, Salsa Verde is being discontinued, although you can still find it by the bottle in grocery stores.

Good. I like that sauce.

Cue fat football player/diarrhea.

 

[BronsonLee]

One must stand, one must fall

[atr0cious]

What the fuck? Salsa verde is literally the only sauce they have that doesn't taste like ketchup with too much cayenne in it.

 

[Pinko Marx]

NO VERDE? Never going back. Love is over.

 

[Lambtron]

Bring back Baja Sauce.

 

[Kusagari]

Diablo Sauce never tasted good to me. Wasn't much hotter than fire and had a weird taste.

 

[TangoAlphaLima]

Verde is trash. This is a good move.

 

[torre_avenue]

NOOOOO.

Salsa Verde was their best sauce. I fell in love with it ever since they were testing both that and that Oaxaca sauce. You will be missed, best sauce. I look forward to seeing you in two years when they bring you back because "the fans demanded it."

 

[Plinko]

Irritated about the lack of verde. That stuff is fantastic.

 

[GustyGardens]

What fresh hell is this? Verde is their best sauce.

 

[Anoregon]

I've always preferred the standard Hot. Everything hotter (fire, volcano, etc) ruins the heat/flavor ratio in favor of heat.

THIS!

Diablo Sauce wasn't much hotter. It just tasted weird compared to Fire.

Verde was their GOAT sauce anyways.

Taco Fail

My thoughts exactly.

 

[HoodWinked]

diablo has an almost minty or toothpaste taste. i enjoy its novelty where as verde always just tasted like their mild sauce just salty and slightly bitter.

 

[veloxStrix]

I went to Taco Bell today and there was no Salsa Verde. I didn't know what to do, since I usually put a packet of fire and verde on everything. :l

 

[Netherscourge]

You NEED the Hot Fire Packet to kill the microbes in the taco beef.

It's like antibiotic sauce.

Soooooooooo good.

 

[scabro]

lava sauce or gtfo

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

I think I have Diablo sauce packets from last year's Cinco de Mayo thing lol.

 

[A Fish Aficionado]

Verde is trash. This is a good move.

So much this

 

[Sephzilla]

came in here expecting this

 

[ohNOitsRO]

I, too, am of the Verdesauce nation.

 

[Walter White Walker]

I liked Diablo so good.

 

[Faiz]

Yes let's get rid of the little blip of variety in sauces. Wtf man.

 

[painey]

I went yesterday and took about 50 packets of this. It is ACTUALLY spicy

 

[perfectchaos007]

Yes let's get rid of the little blip of variety in sauces. Wtf man.

Diablo sauce has a hint of lime flavor. So verde would have been redundant.

 

[FinKL]

Verde was godlike. It added some green!

 

[Archaix]

Diablo sauce has a hint of lime flavor. So verde would have been redundant.

Diablo sauce is also actually spicy and not just Taco Bell spicy, verde isn't either. It's not really a suitable replacement. I'd go with Diablo personally but I doubt I could tell the difference between their mild and medium sauce so it seems weird to get rid of the choice that gives some variety.

 

[sixteen-bit]

i've never had diablo before. will try.

 

[Sanjuro]

When are they releasing the Diablo Mountain Dew?

 

[MasterCheeze]

Didn't really like the flavor, but I can drizzle it as a base sauce to add some heat while I spritz on Fire sauce for the rest.

 

[ThatCrazyGuy]

Dammit. I like the verde sauce.

 

[RodanCeros]

Thankfully Verde will remain in stores in bottle-size. Now I will have to leave a few bottles in my car for my T-Bell runs.

 

[totowhoa]

Verse is the best of the regular sauces, but Diablo is the best of all since it's actually mildly spicy

 

[Himynameischris]

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!! I love the Verde one Why must you forsake me Taco Bell!!!!!!!!

 

[anarckitty]

This is bullshit. I will miss you Taco Bell....

 

[NervousXtian]

The verde is the only good sauce.

 

[NIGHT-]

Bring back Baja Sauce.

Listen to this man

 

[Gurrry]

Diablo needs to be alot hotter than it is if its going to take on the name of the devil.

 

[thoseAREmySHOES]

Bring back Baja Sauce.

This, but I'm really going to miss the Verde sauce :/

 

[TheBaldEmperor]

lava sauce or gtfo

Yeah what the hell Taco Bell????

Bring that back. They need a hot sauce that I don't have to open a packet for.

 

[Chris R]

Verde was my goto sauce

Oh well, not like I eat a ton of Taco Bell anyways.

 

[deadlast]

Tacobell is a cruel mistress. She takes with one hand and gives with the other

 

[bulletbill10]

Well now all my tacos will be dry and flavorless. Looks like they're forcing me to upgrade to doritos tacos.

 

[Ashhong]

Wait, Salsa Verde is the one in the green packets?

WTF WHY?!

I went to my local Bell the other day and they only had the Verde and the Hot out for customers. I'm going to take a shitload of Verde next time I go back now.

[FyreWulff]

I dunno how this is possible. None of them are hot to me, they just have varying degrees of flavor from neutral to Diablo's kinda strange.

Like they're trying to make you uncomfortable without actually being much hotter.

Yeah as a spicy food fan, Taco Bell is still Mass Market "Hot", which is more "hey, pepper taste!" than heat.

Hot is more of a peppery taste, Diablo is more of a vinegar taste. The closest Taco Bell has been to legit actual hotness was the recent "dare" quesaritos that they killed after a month.

Either way, happy to see Diablo back. I missed it.
