What is Fuego Box?

Fuego Box is a hot sauce subscription box service based out of Los Angeles, California that delivers unusual and hard to find hot sauces to your door every month for a low monthly fee.

You can order it for yourself, or buy it as a gift for someone else! And if you're ever in the LA area, they have a brick and mortar shop you can waltz on into and try the latest hot sauces.

Your first box will come with 1, 2, or 3 full-sized hot sauces (depending on your subscription) and a mini tasting notebook and will ship within seven days of placing your order. And the thing is...

The folks there aren't concerned with sending you hellfire in a box (except in their "Pain Seeker" subscription plan which we'll explain more about below.) They're more interested in sharing  flavorful hot sauces that won't send you immediately running to the bathroom.

…But how do they choose their sauces?

Each month a team of Fuego tasters gets together for a tasting party where they try hundreds of hot sauces from around the world and give each one a score. The scores are then averaged, and the hot sauces with the highest scores are chosen for that month's box, so you KNOW you're getting something that will kick your meals up a notch without sacrificing flavor.

But not everyone who works there is a hot sauce expert...

Which is why the company has a handful of advisors and hot sauce experts that they consult when choosing their hot sauces. They even join in on the tasting parties.

Fuego Box Review

Overall, it is a fantastic buy for anyone who can't get enough hot sauce (and loves subscription boxes.) On the other hand...

The prices may be a little steep for some who would rather buy their own hot sauce from a store. For example, you live near an international food market with an entire section of the store dedicated to hot sauces, Fuego Box isn't necessary for you when you want to try new sauces. You can just run up there and pick one.

You, however, may only have 10-30 hot sauces to choose from at your local grocery store so this box is a saving grace if you can't get enough spiced-up flavor.

Whatever your situation, below is a quick list of pros and cons below to help you know what to expect when you subscribe.
