Tasting Tapatio Extra Spicy Ramen Noodle Soup

Found this at my local grocery store and thought I'd give it a try. It comes in its own bowl. 3.7 oz of noodles in the bowl + a flavor packet. The package is labeled as "extra spicy" / "muy picante" / "sabor extra picante" and has a graphic of three chile peppers to denote "hottest". The directions were to fill to the fill line with room-temperature water, empty the flavor packet into the bowl and microwave for 3 minutes. Noodle texture was....OK. It's a soup so I didn't drain it.  


There wasn't a ton of flavor to it at all - nothing really discernable other than generic "protein". Spice-wise, initial impression was that it wasn't very spicy, but the heat gradually built a bit and had a nice linger to it. I did add some leftover rotisserie chicken to it and it was OK.

Nutritional details: 470 calories, 17g of fat, and 8g of protein. 1,760mg of sodium.

Verdict: OK, but probably not going to pay the $1.79 or so again. 

Taste: 6/10

Heat: 4/10
