Description

Specialties

The premier sauce shop in Austin, Texas, we carry hundreds of hot sauces, salsas, barbecue sauces, spices, cooking sauces and gifts. A sample table is available to try some of them out. A line of products are made in our kitchen on the premises. A great place to bring visitors to our great city.

History

Established in 1999.

We began as O’Shucks Tamales in 1988. After a couple of different locations, we moved to our spot on 6th Street in 1993. For the first few years, we manufactured our tamales in our kitchen and operated as a restaurant. We acquired a big shelf of hot sauces from JP Hayes of Sgt. Peppers who ran a hot sauce shop before us in north Austin. This shelf drew so much attention, that we started adding shelves until we became an official hot sauce store in 1999. We eventually sold O’Shucks (no longer in business, sadly) and haven’t looked back since.
