Looking for a bold, unforgettable snack to celebrate Father’s Day or to share during the next Oilers game night? Say hola to Tostilocos—a wildly popular Mexican street snack that’s crunchy, spicy, tangy, and totally addictive.
At Paraiso Tropical, we decided to take this classic to the next level with a simple, flavor-packed recipe featuring a twist: Culichi Seafood Hot Sauce. Trust us—this is not your average chip-and-dip.
🌶️ What Are Tostilocos?
Straight from the streets of Tijuana, Tostilocos are a party in a bag (literally). Traditionally made with Tostitos chips and a medley of toppings like pickled pork skin (cueritos), lime, chamoy, and spicy sauces, this snack is perfect for those who love to snack con sabor.
Our version stays true to the roots but adds a flavorful punch thanks to the creamy heat of Culichi Seafood Hot Sauce—a delicious upgrade that adds depth and a bit of Baja attitude.
