The Herdez Salsa Variety Pack from Costco is the ultimate choice for salsa lovers! It features a creamy avo tomatillo salsa, a mild traditional salsa for those who prefer a more subtle flavor, and a medium salsa for those who crave a little extra heat. Whether you’re a salsa enthusiast or just looking to try something new, this pack has something for everyone.
Location in Store
You can find the salsa in the refrigerated deli section near the other dips like the Kirkland Signature Organic Hummus and the Good Foods Plant Based Queso Style Dip.
Taste
The thing I really like about these salsas is how fresh they taste, they taste homemade and more like a fresh Pico de Gallo than a jarred salsa. The mild and medium salsa have lots of chunks of tomatoes and onions in them which I personally really enjoy.
The mild salsa is still pretty spicy and is definitely not super mild, it has some kick to it! The medium salsa doesn’t seem that much spicier than the mild. Maybe a bit more. The one thing I don’t like about the mild and medium traditional salsa is that they’re a bit watery.
The avo tomatillo salsa is my favorite and has a strong guacamole flavor. It’s creamy and not very thick. It’s pretty salty and doesn’t have any heat/spice to it so it’s great if you want something cooling.
Overall they’re good! My mind isn’t blow but I like them and think the main difference is that they taste a lot fresher than jarred salsa.
Cost
The pack contains three different kinds of salsa that combined equals to 1.28 liters of salsa and I paid $14.99 Canadian for the pack. This is definitely more expensive than buying jarred salsa but it’s not outrageous and the quality of this Herdez salsa is better.
Convenience
This pack is great for a family who regularly eats foods like tortilla chips, tacos, quesadillas. burritos, nachos or fajitas. The salsa needs to be kept in the refrigerator and the best before date is one month from when I purchased it.

The mild is about a 5 and the medium is about a 6. I don’t notice much difference between the mild and medium.
It says a product of Mexico but the company that imports it is in the USA.
