Meet the Maker
Before 13 Stars was a company, it was a lifeline. After returning home from deployment, I found myself searching for purpose; something real, grounding, human.
What I found was food. The universal language. The thing that brought strangers together in foreign countries and helped me heal from the things nobody talks about.
My sauces carry that story. Fresh American peppers. Bold, intentional flavor. Hot sauce with soul, crafted to reconnect you to what truly matters: community, culture, and shared meals.

Thank you for making such a great product! And I'm proud Veterans are creating it! My Dad was a drill instructor during the Vietnam War and I know he's giving the thumbs up sign from heaven because we bought such a great product made by proud Vets! Exceptionally hot sauce! Thank you

From the moment I opened the first bottle and the aroma poured out, I knew I was in for a wondrous treat. The taste matched the aroma, and I am 💯 satisfied with the sauce. Tangy, not too hot and bursting with flavor. Give it a try!!!

The vinegar base Mean Green hot sauce provides great flavor as a condiment or ingredient for foods and even shakes. It s a nice addition for seasoning when the meal doesn't call for something more spicy or hot. I use this as a wonderful mild hot sauce for chicken basting, avocado dressing, or homemade street tacos.
Thank you for the kind words William. We love using Mean Green as a 'replacement' for jalapenos in dishes as the first ingredient in the sauce is jalapenos. You are spot on with the recommendation for avocado dressing. The little kick is all it needs! If you have any killer recipes you want to share with us that you found amazing please email us directly at help@13starshotsauce.com.
Stay Spicy, Sean

Looking for added flavor on your tacos or nachos without the extra heat? Mean Green is the way to go. I love all of the 13 Stars sauces for different uses, and Mean Green wears the taco crown.
Thank you Chris for the kind words! Mean Green is offically 'taco-certified'!
Stay Spicy,
Sean

While not the hottest sauce, Mean Green has a subtle heat and an exceptional flavor. I usually put it on the salad that I eat most every day at work. Perfect addition.
Thank you for the kind words Douglas! We love that you found a great salad recipe that works well with Mean Green. We have had a few other customers make a avocado based salad dressing that uses Mean Green as well. Glad you enjoyed the sauce and thank you for staying spicy with us!

Great sauce and good price for what you are supporting

I love Mean Green and 13 Stars, its my favorite hot sauce
R
I bought one bottle of this to try and fell in love instantly. I can't keep it in stock my house. I really wish they had a 1/2 gallon jug of this
D
I really enjoy mean green, my family's opinion is there is no better sauce for taco night. I used to be a Cholula girl but consider me converted for life
J
My son's favorite sauce since the start of the pandemic. He is weird and eats it with cheese-its (like just straight dunks it in there)
A
Runs thicker than most sauces but the flavor is amazing. The sauce states 2 out of 5 stars but mild. Its not quite medium either but its not quite mild. But its so good so whatever!
M
I don't even know who I was before I met this sauce. You can make everything better. I have forgotten what other hot sauces are. You're the only one I trust on eggs in the morning. I would legit buy 1 gallon of this stuff because I know I would use it.
J
while I will be the first to admit I don't do spicy that often this is somewhere between a mild and medium but really tasty!
Frequently asked questions
How hot are the sauces?
Each of the sauces has relative range since the scoville rating is based off of the hottest pepper within the sauce. Since we use fresh peppers in our sauces there is always going to be a variance from batch to batch.
Dragon's Breath - Mild - 8K SHUs~
Mean Green - Mild - 8K SHUs~
Big Red One - Medium - 10K SHUs~
Tango Mango - Hot -90K SHUs~
Nuclear Option - Insane - 400K SHUs~
F.U.B.A.R. - Insane - 800K SHUs~
Again these are ballpark estimates based upon the hottest pepper in the sauce and does not constitute as a legitimate SHU test.
Is 13 Stars Hot Sauce too spicy for everyday use?
Not at all. We believe flavor should come first. Heat is just the amplifier.
Each of our sauces is carefully crafted to balance flavor & heat, whether you're a heat novice or a certified chili head. We use fresh peppers, not extracts, so the burn never overpowers the experience.
Do your hot sauces work for more than just tacos and wings?
Hell yes! Our sauces are designed to enhance, not overwhelm. Think burgers, eggs, pizza, marinades, bloody mary's, even mac & cheese. Whether you're grilling, roasting, or just spicing up takeout, there's a 13 Stars flavor to fire it up.
Is your hot sauce shelf-stable and how long does it last?
Yes. Our sauces are shelf-stable and have a long life (24 months unopened). Once opened, just refrigerate to keep the flavor fresh and bold. No weird preservatives here; just clean, real ingredients that hold up.

Why does your hot sauce cost more than some others?
Because we give a damn. We use fresh, premium ingredients, source responsibly, and produce in small batches here in the U.S. You're not just buying heat; you're investing in award-winning quality, American jobs, and veteran-led impact. Every dollar supports real people doing meaningful work.
Where are these made?
We proudly cook our sauces in the Warren, RI, USA.
We pride ourselves on cooking our own hot sauces instead of being outsourced to a nameless 3rd party overseas manufacturer. This helps us guarantee high-quality ingredients and craftsmanship are always used in the cooking process. Customers can save on shipping, and 13 Stars benefits the local economy by creating jobs for fellow Americans.
