Salsa Gonzales is a small-batch condiment company based on Gonzales Beach in Victoria BC, specializing in hot sauce, pickles, preserves and more!
The Salsa Gonzales story began with founder Chris Jones's desire to give Christmas presents with a more personal touch. And guess what! It turns out people loved my little homemade goodies! So much so, that people wanted more and weren't shy about offering money to pay for it! That's when I knew I had a business on my hands. And not long after I was inquiring about a commissary kitchen, quitting my job, and selling my wares at the farmer's markets four days a week.
That was March 2020. Now in 2023 Salsa Gonzales can be found in almost 20 outlets, with the lofty goal of having over 100 outlets by the end of the year. We (I) couldn't be any more grateful to those that helped me get this business off the ground. From the first tasters and early customers that would contact me from Facebook Marketplace and buy sauce out of my trunk - to the people who I've never even met that order my sauce from my website because they heard it was great.
Thank you so much. From the bottom of my spicy-ass heart.

Thank you for checking out our products! Below is a list of products we carry - typically you will see "featured products" right away that we have on special, and then a category tree on the side to browse specific products. If you're not logged in yet, clicking "add to order" will cause you to be redirected to a login screen - we require that you setup a customer profile before you can actually order. Once you've setup a customer profile, you can easily add items to either your current week order or your "recurring items" order using the delivery options dropdown - here is a quick overview:
Please take the time to read this, it will make your ordering experience more fun!
- Choosing "one time only" tells the system a couple of things:
- If you already have an order generated for the current week (based on your recurring order) then choosing this option will tell the system you'd like the product this week. (of course, this assumes your delivery date hasn't passed already, and that your cut-off time for order changes hasn't passed already)
How do you tell if you have a current order for this week? When you click view/edit my order tab, you will see the products and table rows either have a white background (current week order) or a green background (recurring order items) - or it will say you have no order at all. The other way to easily tell is the header in the products listing on your order page will either say "Current order for 10/12/08" or it will say "Recurring order".
- If your delivery date has already passed this week, or your cut-off time for editing orders has passed, then choosing this option will add the item to your recurring order. The item will show up on your next week order, and then be dropped automatically from the recurring items you'd like to receive.
- If you already have an order generated for the current week (based on your recurring order) then choosing this option will tell the system you'd like the product this week. (of course, this assumes your delivery date hasn't passed already, and that your cut-off time for order changes hasn't passed already)
- Choosing "every week" tells the system:
- If you already have a current week order, that you'd like to add it to both the current week, and the recurring order items so that you continue to receive the product each week.
- If you do not have a current week order, or your order date or cut-off time has already passed, it simply adds it to your recurring order to be generated the next week, and will remain in your recurring order each week until you take it out.
- Choosing "every other week odd" or even (the current week is highlighted), will tell the system:
- If you already have a current week order, that you'd like to add it to both the current week, and the recurring order items so that you continue to receive the product on the week of your choosing.
- If you do not have a current week order, or your order date or cut-off time has already passed, it simply adds it to your recurring order to be generated the next week (depending on if next week is odd or even of course), and will remain in your recurring order until you take it out.
- Choosing "once per month" option will tell the system:
- If you already have a current week order, that you'd like to add it to both the current week, and the recurring order items so that you continue to receive the product once per month (on the first delivery of each month you will receive the product).
- If you do not have a current week order, or your order date or cut-off time has already passed, it simply adds it to your recurring order to be generated the next week (depending on if next week is the first order for you of the month), and will remain in your recurring order until you take it out.
When you click "add to order" you will get a confirmation that the item was added to your order - you can view the order summary at any time by clicking the "view/edit" order tab. Happy ordering!
