My 'gringo' comment was more of a cultural thing. I've tried American hot sauces (and so-called spicy stuff) and they all taste very vinegary to me, while Mexican stuff is usually more focused on the peppers and spices. I have no doubt there's some good American hot stuff out there, I've just never had the opportunity to try any of those. 
FYI? Hot wing sauces make me ill. One time, I was visiting my sisters, and she made hot wings with uh... RedHot brand sauce? I couldn't eat more than one. It was just too vinegary. Her kids loved it though.
