So many sauces!!! It's a quaint spot in the grove but they have a great selection and decent prices. I would definitely go back again

I consume massive quantities of hot sauce and I can't find cheaper prices online. Believe it. The one labeled "The Hottest Fuckin' Sauce" is the most picante one. Nevermind that it is only rated 10+ and not 10++ read more

Young guy behind the counter Yelled at me like I was a punk teenager because I snapped a photo to send to my friend who was looking for Blair's ultra death sauce. Went up to purchase the bottle after he yelled at me and tried to pay for it. Smugly told me I'd need to buy more stuff if I wanted to use a card to pay. Just left instead. They have good variety but not nearly as good as Amazon, and if a trip down there is going to be such a pain I'd rather just order online. read more

This is hot sauce heaven!!! If you are a spicy food aficionado and feel like there aren't any good hot sauces out there to your liking., give this place a try. They have an assortment of hot sauces from all over the world ranging from the lower levels of Louisiana type all the way to the insanely hot ghost pepper. I am sure if you go there once, you'll eventually return again and again. They also have some packages perfect to give away as gifts. Just the art on some of the bottles is worthy of coming to check out. read more

Am a Trini now living in LA and am missing my pepper sauce. I get some from visiting family now and then but have been looking for a decent alternative I could buy locally. Imagine my surprise when I find this place selling Matouk's hot sauce! And not just one but multiple varieties!! This place is a treasure trove of hot sauces from all over but I happy 'cos I have my Trini pepper sauce Now, I just need to find a place to buy a 'South Roti' or a 'Curepe doubles' read more

I love this spot. I am HUGE fan of everything spicy...as hot as it can get. However.... 1) The one young female clerk that was in the store the first day I went (on vacation from NY) was extremely unwelcoming with a bored look on her face. I'm already used to this attitude given that I am a New Yorker, however at this day and age - it's time for change. If you don't want to be in the business of customer service, quit! 2) I went back 3 days later (because I ran out of the habanero jelly beans!) and there was an older Asian woman there - extremely friendly, even asked me if I had a parking ticket I needed validated. I was LIVID at this point because when I first came, I was not offered that option...and I had no idea given I'm vacationing to this area....needless to say my parking bill that first day was $14 bucks! 3) The store is very overwhelming with the number of spicy things offered. It would be nice if they had a tasting section for a couple of their more popular items. I think this would aid in making a decision on which products to purchase. Baby steps... read more

They have all the hot sauce challenge from that YouTube channel. They 3 hottest peppers in sauce. And they carry Nandos. Really hard to choose. Hot sauce neatly organized fr mile to extreme hot. Some collectables too. read more

Cute little hot sauce shop, has a lot of funny, interesting sauces, rubs, spices and even hot peanut butter. The lady was really informative and helpful. read more

This store is nothing of wall to wall hot sauces. Every kind of brand and then some in different variations. If you're a hot sauce fanatic and can kill 15 minutes in a large store of hot sauce heaven, this is the store for you. I did find that most of the items were the same kind of hot sauce, just re-packaged with different labels. They do sell BBQ sauces as well with a kick, however, this is a place to get your fire oral sensation. Due to the ml restrictions, I was unable to pick anything up. I also felt a little uncomfortable by the staff there which discouraged me from picking items up. The items are reasonably priced. read more

In all honesty, I was a little hesitant to walk into this store and ask for help because of all the negative reviews I've read about its customer service. However, I'm glad to report that I was horribly wrong. I've been in this store once before with my boyfriend, but this is the first time I've gone in alone. The older lady at the counter was super nice and helpful. I ended up buying their spiciest sauce, which was a whopping $50. Though my friend, whom I gave the hot sauce to as a gift, didn't think the hot sauce was that spicy, which was a little disheartening, I'm still pleased with the customer service I received upon buying the product. I will definitely return in the future to try out their other sauces. read more

I'm gonna complain about this store.. they got way too many hot sauces!! I didn't even know where to begin! It was great, my husband and I had been looking for a store that carried the ghost chili pepper (bhut jolokia) sauces and this store had a pretty good selection. The lady working there seemed to be pretty familiar with the sauces and was helpful. It's in the Fairfax Farmers Market, so it's a pretty good location, there's alot of places to eat at and The Grove is right next door. read more

I'm not sure how photos have been posted about this store because there are big signs that say: "Do not take photos!" inside. Odd. I love this store. They have their own heat scale rating system and post it below each sauce on the shelf. It ranges from 1-10, with 1 being pretty hot and 10 being dangerous. Light My Fire is a tiny store, but make sure you browse slowly so you don't miss anything. They not only have a wide variety, they have a bunch of humorous labeled ones, like: "Ass in the Tub sauce" and "Slap my ass and call me sally." They had one dedicated to "The Hulk" called something like: "Big, mean and Green!" sauce. I ended up purchasing "Iguana En Fuego," a 10 on the scale. I'll let you know if I die from consuming it. read more

If you love hot sauce and can never find one hot enough for you. THIS IS THE PLACE. thy have everything from fire out your ass hot to "is that hot sauce at all". They also had a nice selection of BBQ sauces. If you look you will find bottle of whole ghost peppers, cant wait to cook with those read more

This place is the best! It's located in the farmer's market, on the Wilshire & 3rd side of the market. I went there for Slap Yo Mama, one of the best seasonings ever but there are so many types of sauces & rubs that even the little shack seemed like a maze of awesomeness! A must try for anyone looking for something to bbq with but don't worry b/c this place isn't all about the hot sauce, the seasonings there are great too!!! read more

If you want a good hot sauce gag gift this is your place. They have regular sized bottles and mini bottles. They also have dry rubs. They have different kinds of pop corn too. There was ghost pepper, sriracha, and chile lime. read more

Go here and buy Marie Sharps Fiery Hot Sauce. Manufactured in Dangriga, Stann Creek Belize, Marie Sharps taste like hot magic. Do it!

I love my hot sauce and love a wall to wall selection even more, so when I found out about this place I could only imagine heaven. However, when I first visited this place it was quite to the contrary...more like a customer service nightmare. And then the next day i decided to phone the store rather then walk in and the customer service was just as bad and just as rude. As much as I wanted to browse all the sauces, I already had something in particular in mind...I was looking for the Mary Sharps Habanero salsa as well as any possible organic sauces available. Since the store was EMPTY, with NOT A SINGLE CUSTOMER in sight, I figured it would be smart to ask the person working there because they would know their product, right? WRONG! This man was nearly falling asleep on his chair and when I asked him for help, he seemed so unhelpful and uncaring that a customer was present and was interested in purchasing a product. I needed help and his response to my question asking if he carried "Marie Sharps brand or any organic style habanero salsas"...was that "he didn't know". However, he did point me to a jar of habanero salsa in general, but i made specific reference to what I was looking for and he was unsure and didn't bother to be helpful in any way to potentially help a customer out and make a sale in the process. He simply mumbled and pointed in a direction of the jar. I ended up finding the Marie Sharp brand after he told me he didn't carry the brand and then I asked if he had a wider selection and he again just pointed to the other side of the SMALL store. How lazy can you get? On top of that his mumbling and attitude that seemed to see the customer as an inconvenience and a bother was really amazing! I thought this might just be me over reacting but then my two friends both said something to me and I knew now that this was not a bad dream...this was just bad business, so I decided to leave and take my business elsewhere. What a shame because I had high hopes that i had found a treasure chest of salsas that I could return to frequently for my own purchases and those that I gift. For those that are reading this and may think I am exaggerating, well anything is possible. Maybe you should go find out for yourself or you can save some time and deal online with someones else or just explore other walk-in stores besides this one. Overall I think I'm qualified to critique customer service...for one I am a customer who works hard for his money and when I go to a specialty store I expect the person to know their product and help me out. A smile is not essential but again, you are trying to make a sale and beyond that a smile and politeness should be something we all embrace. Who wants to interact with anyone who is all down and out, angry, grouchy, or anything other than happy or pleasant. I have 20 years of customer service working in a variety of stores that have given me excellent customer service training that places the customer at the center of everything. This doesn't mean kiss any ones butt no matter how rude they can be just so one can make a sale, but it means welcome the customer in and be as helpful as possible. To offer great customer service also means you set the tone for the experience they come in before anything its your happiness and pleasant demeanor that will welcome that person in and brighten their day...it is the helpfulness that will further enhance their experience. And it is your smile and gratitude that will thank the customer as they leave. All in all this is customer service and it is what I remember when I plan on recommending places or if I plan on becoming a return customer myself. None of what is considered customer service was given when I visited this store, nor when I called. I received an unwelcoming and very unhelpful attitude. I have to ask myself, DO I WANT TO SPEND MY MONEY IN A PLACE THAT DOES NOT EVEN RESPECT ME AND THE HARD EARNED MONEY I'M ABOUT TO SPEND? I refuse to do business with people that are too quick to take my money but unwilling to earn it and respect my business in the process. I can only imagine this is some sort of small shop connected to a corporation that is so disconnected to their store because I could never imagine an independent store so uncaring as this one, especially in the cutthroat economy we are in now....unless they are rich and this is a hobby that means nothing to them. In any case I hope they are reading this and can see my concern. The customer is not necessarily always right, but it is up to the business to offer the proper customer service that will be inviting, helpful, respectful, and thankful to each and every customer that steps through their door. I know this was a long review but it serves as a warning... Do business at this establishment at you own risk !!! read more

Strange rules. I went in looking for a ghost pepper sauce my friend had recommended. She didn't remember the name, but would have recognized the label. Took my phone out to snap a pic of a bottle to send her and confirm it was the right one and I got yelled at as if I was a shoplifter. Apparently photos aren't allowed there. What is this, the Vatican? What a bizarre and unfriendly policy. Since I couldn't confirm that I'd found the right sauce and was just scolded in public, I left. read more

I found exactly what I needed: a wide variety of mind-numbingly spicy specialty hot sauces. The great thing about this place is their merchandise often features creative packaging. The lady behind the counter (owner perhaps?) even gave me a few suggestions to choose from last time I came in shopping for a gift. read more

this place would easily get five stars from me, but, we went here on the weekend and the place was so outrageously hot, i could not enjoy it. they had one big fan pointing upward. i came to show my bf''s girls the funny sauces, but it was just too hot to stay inside. i bought a couple of sauces and left. GET SOME AIR CONDITIONING!! read more

some of the worst customer service I've ever experienced. i ordered products and paid as much for the shipping but they arrived broken because these morons don't have a clue how to pack. their answer was to offer to ship replacements if I would pay for the shipping! read more

Love this place! Hysterical hot sauces! Warning: make sure you read the ingredients. Some should only be bought as a joke!!!
