The family takes their orange sauce so seriously that they have a secret location in the Bay Area specifically dedicated to sauce-making.
La Victoria Taqueria operations manager Nick Barrita holds bottles of the restaurant's signature orange sauce outside its downtown location in San Jose, Calif., on May 10, 2022.There’s something delicious brewing in the South Bay. Sold by the bottle for six bucks a pop, this spicy, creamy condiment speckled with a blend of secret ingredients and plenty of garlicky flavor has such a loyal cult following that dedicated fans have even joked it has “healing powers.
But when those bottles started disappearing as quickly as they hit tables, the Barrita family knew their recipe was special.
While the recipe and $6 price tag has never changed, the amount of sauce the Barrita family blends to keep up with demand has definitely increased throughout the years. So Nick and Marcos rely on two 4.5 gallon blenders to combine a mixture of onions, tomatoes, garlic and a particular variety of dried red chile, among other family-kept ingredients, to create their signature sauce.
Working in the family business since his early 20s, Marcos, now 40, says he uses the sauce on pretty much any dish he cooks at home.
