The best jalapeño flavor that I’ve ever had in a tin, it’s true to the label! Multiple slices of jalapeño to include on each bite, and those slices still actually had flavor left. The spicy quotient was ideal and *exactly* what you’d expect out of jalapeño, I’d call it a 2.5-3 out of 5. I can’t fully explain how exciting it is to finally eat a jalapeño tin that truly tastes like … you know, jalapeño.
The jalapeño is so good here that it takes it from ‘good overall’ to maybe even ‘very good’ on the right day. The sardines themselves are typical KO quality, not bad but not top tier. Slightly softer fillets than the already fairly-soft KO texture you’re used to (presumably due to the jalapeño) but, fine. The fish doesn’t get in the way of what you’re really buying this tin for. If this tin had top notch sardines in there, I’d be using all caps here … but it would also then cost 2x or 3x as much. For what this tin is, at this price? It’s a total winner. If you love jalapeño then you HAVE to try this one.
