I know this is Buy European, but if you want hot sauce with a Mexican name/theme, how about Mexican hot sauces?
Valentina, Búfalo, El Yucateco, Huichol, La Guacamaya etc.
But not Tabasco, Cholula, Tapatío: all US companies using Mexican culture, names etc.
(Indeed, I live about 30 minutes from the city of Cholula, and “Cholula” sauce is stacked in the “Ethnic/Foreign” aisle of a few supermarkets, and never found in ordinary shops.)
Thanks, it makes sense to replace a US sauce with a Mexican one. I’ll look for them.
A few bulgarian producers have become quite popular. Not sure if they ship internationally.

Not sure about the land of production, but Santa Maria hot pepper sauce is alright.

Santa Maria is a Swedish company owned by Paulig, a Finnish company.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PauligE: Added info that Santa Maria is Swedish.
They had a more Swedish name (the founder’s surname or similar) but adopted their Mexican-sounding name during the 1990s taco fad in Sweden.
They make the absolute beast of a spice mix, GrillKrydda. I met a top chef in France that even imported it for himself, when I visit Sweden I bring back kilos if that stuff. But they don’t ship outside sweden (or maybe scandinavia, I always thought it was a Swedish company, the more you know!)
Here is the little spice we have left 🥲
Santa Maria indeed is a Swedish company, and they are owned by a Finnish company.
E: This is probably the spice you mentioned. They ship worldwide.
Thank you do much 💖💘💝
