Well, I have to say that I didn't really like the salsa by itself, but when I combined everything together it didn't taste that bad. The salsa is extremely watery and I didn't like that, but that it is just my very personal opinion. The taste is okay, it is a combination of sweet and spicy. I don't think I will eat it again, but my family liked it, so that what it matters to me.
