<< i like both La Costena & the Embassa brands for chipotles. LC is more consistent in the quality department ; >> I also have tried La Gallita and find it not as flavorful and too mild. Herdez is really a good smoky-hot flavored Chipotle and our favorite. La Costena is a good one as well. Casa Gloria is pretty good. Embasa is a good consistent brand for all Chile products I think. We also add Jim's Chipotle Powder or Applewood Smoked Habanaros to really kick it up a notch! I also use Mary-Anne
