I was so happy to see you guys in Lake Oswego this weekend at the Christmas fair. Simply said, you make the best salsa ever & you are always so nice! I live in Seattle & I can't find anything that competes. Please let me know if your salsa becomes available up here, so I can stop pestering my mom to buy me more in the Portland area! :) Keep it up, you have a great thing going & I wish you all the success in the world.

We LOVE your salsa and also have friends in CA that we've got hooked on it so I'm wondering if we can buy it directly from you by the case? We like the "hot" variety.

Thanks!

We tasted your salsa at the Orenco Farmers Market 2 years ago! And so far, I can honestly say that yours is the best that I have ever had. I was so happy to see that your product is now being sold at Whole Foods and other local stores.

I am a huge fan of the hot and the original and if not for corn chips having too many calories, I would eat it everyday! Keep up the good work!

Wow! I picked up a jar of Grandma's hot salsa when I was visiting my parents and we went to the Lake Oswego Farmer's Market. Loved it! Is there any place in the Seattle area to get this magnificent stuff? I was wondering if the Whole Foods Markets here might carry it or perhaps any other specialty store? D and D Meats in Mount Lake Terrace has hundreds of salsas and hot sauces and I thought I might find it there. If not I will be happy to order via phone or internet...I was just hoping to not have to wait for the mail man. I already licked my jar clean. I wish I would have bought a case when I had the chance. Delicious!!!

I look so forward to hearing from you,

Just wanted to mention that I loved your salsa and BBQ sauce. I picked up some at Intel a few months back and they were both delicious. I think the Salsa lasted less than a day.

Just found out you guys are in the Whole Foods in the Pearl District. I'm planning on wandering in to stock up on some GM Chonga's ;)

Thanks for the deliciousness!

OMG.....Thank-You so much for the wonderful Salsa!!! I am in love with the Salsa-Que (as with all the other salsa's). I am thinking this is perfect for dipping those chicken nuggets into, pulled pork, the list goes on, on, & on....

My brother does a lot of fishing, and I am thinking "Salmon"....BBQ.....

Love Your Product....

Lovin' the Grandma Chonga's Salsa....A few months ago I introduced my staff to the original and hot salsas. Documented fact... Chonga's Salsa in the break room with chips results in higher productivity!
Thanks for the wonderful salsas!!

Your salsa is the only one for us. We missed you at the last Farmer's market in Hillsboro but saw you sell them @ the Whole foods in Tanasboure, we are out the door now to get our fix! Keep up the fantastic work!

 I just wanted to send you a note of thanks! Thank you for making such wonderful Salsa and for making my husband so happy! He discovered your salsa last summer at the Orenco Farmers Market and we take a trip to the market each Sunday primarily so he can stock up on your Original Hot salsa. He is originally from New Mexico and loves "heat" so he was delighted to hear that there could potentially be some Salsa made with green chillis in the future. We've missed you the last three weekends (very dissapointing for fathers day.....) and now he has me running all over town (thank goodness I discovered your website) to find your salsa so we can bring some to his brother who lives out of state. We're hoping to celebrate the 4th of July with your Salsa!

Thanks again for making the Best Salsa out there and please come back to the market soon!

We were on a casual stroll/drive through Portland, Lake Oswego, and West Linn yesterday and stumbled across the Farmer's Market in Lake Oswego where we found Grandma Chonga's Salsa! This is some of the THE best salsa we've tasted. Excellent work family! I hope sales of your product moves to the NE side of Portland (my 'hood).

I am a die hard salsa enthusiast from New Mexico, I know good salsa when I eat and your salsa beat out my all time favorite salsa from New Mexico. It's hard to find good salsa here but with Grandma Chonga's I feel right at home when I eat it. Thank you for making great salsa, I love it!

Just wanted to take a minute and thank you again for getting that gift pack together for my dad. I can't wait to take it to Indiana and give it to him for Fathers Day. He loves that Salsa-Que and he will be so excited get it. Also me and Allan are loving the jars we bought for ourselves. The day we picked them up, we went and made beef bar-b-q sandwiches.......yummy. Thinking about grilling some chicken tonight and trying out the tropical salsa. Well I am sure we will be seeing you soon.

We've been enjoying all of the Grandma Chonga's Salsas over the last couple of years as it's become a regular staple in our household. Luckily we live in the Hillsboro area and Kipperlyn was gracious enough to keep us well stocked with the hot stuff throughout the winter. Not sure what might have happened had we actually run out.

 

Thanks again for making the best salsa around and making it easy and convenient to keep our family well supplied even in the dead of winter.

 

Can't wait to see you guys at the Hillsboro Farmer's Market and congratulations in getting picked up at Whole Foods and Elephants.

 

All the best!

My daughter brought home a bottle of the original salsa and left it on the table for me. The next morning I made myself a breakfast burrito and added the salsa without thinking.

Omigosh! Suddenly my boring breakfast food tasted like it came from a four star restaurant!

Thank you for making such a great product. I'm hooked for life.

Happy New Year! Not sure if you remember us, but we bought a case of the Hot stuff right at the end of the season. Well, we are all out and we are hoping to rectify that situation as soon as possible. Give me a call or send over a note if you have any of the hot available and if not let me know when you'll be cooking up another batch as you can mark us down for another case.

I bought one of your tropical salsa bottles at the Christmas fair at the 'west end' building in Lake Oswego, and we just finished enjoying it with different foods, like blue tortilla chips, chicken, and fish. Where Can I get more?

Had some of your tropical salsa last night, my wife's sister couldn't get enough of it. So you can keep track of the distribution, she is from Ohio and took down your contact information. We also sent some to her son in Virginia and took some to my son in Alabama for Thanksgiving.

 

I am late, but would like to sincerely thank you for your efforts in getting it shipped to me.  I received the salsa in great shape.  Thank you very much for the gift pack!  I also received the check for shipping, once again thank you.

 

May the holidays be special for you and your family!

 

Thanks again,

I bought a jar of Salsa-Que and tropical salsa at the Nike farmer's market. My husband and I are addicted. We use the Salsa-Que in our homemade Sloppy Joes, and for our chicken strips. We need more!

Hello, I made pulled pork with it the other day and found out that this is the best recipe that we have had. We used to live in TX and have traveled quite a few of the "best" bbq locations and have yet found a recipe to match my pulled pork and your Salsa-Que. We were hoping to get a case or so of the product.

 

Thanks a bunch. -Andrea and Michael

Hello and good afternoon! It's been almost two months since members of your company came out and let us sample your wonderful salsas at my work, Columbia Sportswear Co. I purchased a couple of the salsas and believe it or not I just opened one of the BBQ salsas for my family for the first time the other day... OH MY! The jar was GONE in minutes!!!! My husband is begging me for MORE... How can I purchase 4 more jars of this fantastic BBQ salsa? I look forward to hearing from you soon.

 

Thank you,

My wife and I purchased a few jars of your salsa throughout the summer last year and would love to get more.  BTW- i just bar-b-qued some Salsa-Que marinated flank steak this last Sunday and dang that was good! Thanks and we hope to see you at Farmer's Market again this year!

I would like to order some CHONGA'S salsa, or in English, some "Monkey" salsa.
Due to the recent shipment that we received, my family will no longer consume
any other brand of salsa. I am holding you responsible for this boycott of any
other salsa that is happening in my family. My lawyers will be in contact with
you soon to discuss any salsa related issues that may come up in the near
future.  For now my order is:

3 Original hot salsa
2 Tropical salsa.

You just sent my son a sample pack because he mentioned your salsa in his online blog. I think that is one of the coolest things I have ever heard of. My family will continue to spread the word about your salsa to all our friends and family. I love that someone can have a business doing something that they love and that has meaning for them. I will keep ordering your salsa because we love it!! It disappears so fast at our house I have been hiding a jar in the back of the fridge just so I can have some.

I just wanted to let you know that my husband and all the Dell folks in Austin loved your salsas. In the blind taste test it beat out a couple of local brands. I think he will be taking some orders from them but let me know your website is up for ordering. Thanks again!

I picked up two gift packs at the Orenco Station Farmers Market  Sunday and wanted to tell you the products are awesome! I gave away one 3 pack as a gift, and I plan to give more of your Salsa as gifts. Some questions already came up - Are you only at the Orenco market or other venues also? Will you be selling through the end of the market this year? Do you pack jars for shipping?

Thanks again,

Opening weekend, our very first testimonial!

 

May 5, 2007

 

I was fortunate enough to stumble upon you at the Saturday Hillsboro Main Street Farmers Market last weekend. It was about 9:30am and I was complimenting you on your packaging, graphics, old photo, and attention to detail. You had already sold several cases and things seemed to be going very well, especially as it was your "very first day!"

Your salsa (the Tropical version) came back with me to Seattle and was enjoyed by myself, my partner, and several friends last night, many of whom are foodies. We all enjoyed it as much as I did with the sample on Saturday.

Kudos to you for what appears to be the start of a very successful venture. Good luck with the growth, which is bound to happen. I'll watch for you to start appearing on the shelves of Whole Foods in Seattle sometime soon. : )

Kind regards,

 

Troy
