Super cool shop to pick up gifts to bring home to the ones you love that did it make it to California. The popcorn is such a cool gift to bring back to all your coworkers. The staff was super friendly and helpful.

A gem of a store for those who enjoy hot sauces and spicy treats. They carry a wide range of options most of which are self branded sauces. Stafaffed with helpful and friendly people. Feel free to tatse test. I would highly recommend all those tasting options on the particularly the green jalapeños hot sauce, which is mild in heat.

Absolutely amazing experience when entering this hot sauce shop. The associates working on July 6 knew their products well. We were attended to a female (apologies if not identifying as that) associate who knew the products in shop. She was knowledgeable in their signature product's label and prices historically. As well introduced to a brand based on a question with a specific ingredient to it. Her coworker was attending to a family visiting from out of state and his energy and knowledge matched with his coworkers. The synergy in that shop and the associates promoting a welcoming atmosphere to the people that visit Hot Licks is a much earned 5 stars. Thank you for taking care of us.

We love visiting Hot Licks every time we’re in SD. They have so many unique hot sauces to pick from. We were just there a few days ago and had a great experience. I wish we had gotten both employees’ names because they were so nice and fun to chat with. I believe Tony was one of the 2 people. The other employee was a younger woman with dark hair. My husband and I took our two small Chihuahua mixes into the store and both employees loved meeting them. They were very helpful and welcoming. We went into quite a few stores there that day and Hot Licks was our favorite! 😊

Been meaning to leave a review for a while. Specifically for Tony, as he is above and beyond what customer service should be. He is a true hot sauce ambassador and a total spice lord like myself. We geek out for hours and he deserves a raise.

I rarely give out reviews, but this gem of a shop and Tony himself deserves it. Great shop with a nice selection of bottled pain and then there’s Tony, who you can tell loves hot sauces and he will tell you everything about it. Just overall great experience.

Solid selection of sauces. Rubs were small for the price. Kinda spendy but the service was great. His suggestions helped us pick our purchases. He also wrapped the glass and validated our parking. Expensive and touristy but large selection.

I really enjoyed looking for a gift for my husband who grows cayennes ghost peppers habaneros jalapenos and Carolina reapers in our backyard. Let's just say my husband is a big fan of all things hot. I spoke with a very knowledge gentleman who directed me to the Red Reaper Hot Sauce. My husband LOVED it and i intend to buy him more. THANK YOU!!!
