Nando's is a great suggestion but it's extremely lemon-ey.
I love to tailor hot sauces to cuisines:
- Sriracha or Fly By Jing Zhong or Chili Crisp for asian
- I also like Sriracha for Mexican, but Tabasco is also good, and so is Chipotle in adobo (not a brand just a flavor)
- Nandos for chicken/potato/sandwich stuff
- Crushed red pepper in vinaigrettes for greek or mediterranean
Cholula is a bit too vinegary. It isn't balanced enough. On tacos it works, because they're fatty and very salty, so a more vinegary flavor helps balance, but Cholula doesn't go well with a lot of other things imo. The green one though is better than the red one.
