Spice Is Nice

Come see Dino and try the samples of the hot Sauces. 🔥 if you don't see it here, it doesn't exist. Cheeses, salami, coffees, spicy soda, cookies, snacks, spam and the list goes on. Downtown Sanford.

Dino is amazing, he makes his own hot sauce, salsa. He has many sauces that were on “The Hot Ones!” He has collaborated with local businesses in Sanford with his fantastic brand of spicy flavored ice cream from Wondermade and soon wings from the Fire Station restaurant and bar across the street. Highly recommend visiting him. If you are hesitant for the spice, he will give you a sample. I walked away with some amazing things! Including Centro cherry peppers to make my Utica greens.

Dino is the mastermind behind "hotter than el" hot sauce which I had no idea was made locally and was already a fan of when I found this gem of a spice shop. Anything marked with a sticker he will help you to a sample. I've found so many favorites in this shop and the experience is always a treat. I recommend this shop to any and all spice lovers and heat curious friends.

Dino, the owner, and creator of the "Hotter Than El" hot sauces, always has something new and fun in stock. You can sample spicy cheeses, sausages, brownies, sauces to name a few. Perfect for picking out surprises for a fun date night! This Sanford local approves! 🌟 🔥

Great selection of hot sauce, spices, drinks, and foods. Lots of local and international options. Wish I had heard of this store earlier.

Absolutely love this place! Very much enjoyed the HUGE selection of hot sauces, as well as the amazing service!

Just visited this store for the first time and look forward to visiting again. The owner was so helpful and answered every question I had!! Great shopping experience!!!!

If you like spicy food (or know someone who does) this is the PERFECT place for you. So many sauce options and a lot of them you can sample before you buy. There are also a lot of really fun spicy snacks to buy then try. We went one weekend and picked out a ton of stuff. Then the next weekend we went back to pick out a few super spicy sauces for a Hot Ones Challenge party we were hosting. We’ll be back to try more soon!

This is a hidden gem if you are a spice lover. This store has many unique hot spices, spicy foods and even spicy drinks. The owner is very knowledgeable and willing to help find something that fits your taste.

Finally, some unique retail here in Sanford - and even better, it's owned and operated by a true scoville-head and spice king.

The shop has everything you're looking for when it comes to heat. Meats, cheeses, spices, sauces, jerkies, chips - you name it, Dino's got it.

Hotter than El, his own brand, has been featured TWICE on the hit webseries Hot Ones - and for good reason. His sauces taste so fresh and sit somewhere between a traditional, thinner sauce and a big pepper mash sauce. Perfect consistency.

Dino is a super friendly guy and very knowledgeable about all things scoville units.

Get in there, try some free samples, and leave with a bag of goodies, a smile, and a mouth coated with fire!

We are honored that our Taaza soups and chutney are stocked by Spice is Nice! Dino is fantastic to work with as well! - Ayurveg
