Veracruzana
There’s a medium heat to this dish that uses a chipotle-hinted tomato sauce combined with jalapeno peppers, green peppers, and surprisingly, green olives

Mexicana
One of the most common means of preparing meat, poultry and fish in Mexico, this recipe uses jalapeno peppers, tomatoes and onions. A true taste of Mexico
Mango/Chipotle
This sauce is unique for its dual sweet-yet-smoky and spicy flavor. Sautéed onions add to the flavor, culminating in a savory dish
Al Cilantro
It’s the cilantro, of course, that gives this sauce its green, almost pesto-like consistency. Those customers who enjoy the cilantro-infused Las Velas house salsa will find this a sure favorite
