I'm 51, from a small town about an hour east of St. Louis. I remember when I was a
young kid, as does my mother now in her 80's, the local county fair always had a
Mexican food vendor working out of a mobile trailer. Back then there wasn't any
ethnic food in the area save for when the fair came around each year. But, what I
remember about the Mexican mobile vendor was they had a white (clear) taco sauce
that was awesome. This was not in any way creamed or like the modern fish taco
sauces, it was for illustration purposes a Pace Picante sauce but white or clear.
I remember the chopped onions, but I can't imagine now how they pulled it off.
It was so good. It kicked at first but then had a diminishing and pleasurable
after burn.
I have looked everywhere on the internet as has my secretary, unable to find
anything close to what I remember. It is all creamed crap made with Miracle Whip.
Any thoughts?

Hello Dan,
I had zero success finding anything like your description. As you say, they all seem
to be tomatoey(Is that a word?) or creamy. The type of sauce you describe probably has a name, and
if we had that name, we could probably find it. But without that or more information
about it, I have no ideas.
I'll post this. Maybe one of my readers can help.

Bryan: This was probably a variation of a Salsa Verde. I get this at Mexican places
because most of the time they put no cilantro in it.
