Yes. It’s the exact same hot sauce—still made and packaged by Miguel’s—just delivered in a new packet for easier handling and better convenience, no matter whether you’re in our restaurants, or on-the-go.

No. The recipe has not changed—at all. Our red and green hot sauces are made from the same five-generation recipe our guests have loved for decades. Same legendary flavor. New packaging. Less mess.

Yes. Our hot sauces are still prepared using the same trusted process and recipes passed down through five generations. Only the packaging has changed.

No. In fact, we’ve been quietly working on this change for years because we refused to change our recipe, ingredients or compromise on quality.

It shouldn’t taste any different, but perception is powerful. While the packaging has changed, the sauce itself has not. Sometimes a new format can make flavors feel different, but rest assured: same sauce, same ingredients, same standards.

The new packets offer less mess and added convenience—so our team can focus on what matters most: great food, great service and great hospitality.

Not at all. The sealed packets help maintain freshness and ensure every guest receives the same bold, crave-worthy flavor and heat they expect.

We recommend consuming immediately to preserve freshness and enjoy our hot sauce at its optimal flavor.

Yes, this is our new standard—same sauce, same quality, better experience.

Absolutely. Just ask! We’re always happy to help you customize your experience.

Yes. Our team is even more focused on great service and hospitality for you – the new packets help us deliver fresh food, exceptional flavor, and a smooth guest experience every time.

Our Original Corona location holds a special place in Miguel's history—and in the memories of generations of guests who have grown up dining with us. To honor that legacy and preserve traditions unique to that restaurant, we've chosen to continue serving hot sauce in cups at that location.

Across all other locations, we've introduced our new easy-open packets to provide the same legendary flavor with added convenience and less mess.

No matter which location you visit, one thing stays exactly the same: our red and green hot sauce recipes are unchanged and have been enjoyed for five generations.

Same sauce. Same standards. Different experience—created with our guests in mind.

We hear you—and we know our hot sauce cups are part of the experience for many longtime guests. Our Original location in Corona continues serving cups as a tribute to the traditions and legacy of that location.

At all other locations, we've moved to easy-open packets to create a more convenient, consistent, and less messy experience while keeping the part that matters most exactly the same: the hot sauce itself.

Same legendary flavor. New packaging. Less mess.
