Can I use Barbaro Mojo Hot Sauce as a marinade or cooking ingredient?

What is mojo sauce and how is it related to Barbaro Mojo hot sauce?

Mojo is a centuries-old Cuban marinade made with sour orange (or a citrus blend), garlic, onion, cumin, oregano and olive oil.

What's the difference between your Cuban Hot Sauces Jalabáo, Piñazo and El Havanero?

Jalabáo– Green, medium-heat jalapeño-based sauce with bright citrus.


Piñazo™– Sweet-heat pineapple sauce with Fresno, habanero & Reaper; fruity punch and medium-hot finish.


El Havanero– Classic red habanero sauce; tomato-forward, garlicy and hotter than Jalabáo but below Best Day Ever.

Are Barbaro Mojo Hot sauces gluten-free / vegan / allergen-free?

All current core flavors are gluten-free and vegan; they contain no dairy, eggs or wheat only vegetables, fruit, spices, citrus and vinegar. Always check the ingredient list in case of new releases.

Is Barbaro Mojo hot sauce actually made in Cuba?

No. While the recipes celebrate Cuban flavors and the founders are Cuban-American, every bottle is produced in the United States (currently in Miami) with a Copakcer to ensure FDA-compliant food safety and faster U.S. shipping.

How can I use Barbaro Mojo Hot Sauce in traditional Cuban dishes?

  • Lechón asado: brush Jalabáo on crispy pork skin at the end of roasting.
  • Ropa vieja: stir 1–2 tsp of El Havanero into the tomato broth.
  • Tostones: drizzle Piñazo over twice-fried plantains.
  • Cuban sandwich: replace yellow mustard with a thin layer of Best Day Ever for a sweet-heat kick.

What makes Cuban hot sauce different from other hot sauces?

Barbaro Mojo's sauces start with mojo criollo a sour-orange, garlic-heavy marinade that's the backbone of countless Cuban dishes. Combining that citrusy tang with fresh chiles and traditional island spices creates a flavor that's bright and zesty first, then spicy, instead of the vinegar-forward burn typical of many U.S.-style sauces.
