What is the best tasting chorizo that is available in a normal store like Coto, Res, Jumbo, etc. Not too expensive but with a good flavor, in your opinion.
 
following, as all I have found so far is horrible in coto etc…but I have had amazing chorizos en restaurants.
 
The problem I have with most store chorizo is that it's too salty for my palette. I used to get Paladini or Cagnoli, but only 100% pork. It's sufficient for an asado but it would weird me out when, despite being even overcooked, they were still pink inside.

I'm since moved on to trying local butcher chorizo, which is hit & miss. There's a Pollolin down the street from me that has tasty pork sausage with less salt and I've been enjoying that right now. I'll try to find out the brand. Best of luck.
 
Why would you exclude actual carnicerias who make chorizo in house using high quality fresh ingredients?
All large corporate food has similar compromises made for profit, shelf life, and scale. Its Industrial.
Buy from a single store owner operated carniceria, they are actually usually pretty price competitive as they dont have to spend on advertising, giant expensive stores, and overpaid execs. You can get anything delivered by moto for a few thousand pesos.
Try Corte, Piaf, Converso, or similar quality carnicerias, you can taste the difference. And the selection is much better, too.
 
Unless you have a butcher you know and like the chorizos he sells ( I don't and there aren't many real butcher stores in Recoleta anymore ) I like Magret brand chorizos ( chorizo fresco > beef + pork ) they also have 100 % pork but I am not a fan of pork only chorizos, it is a personal taste, Magret also carries these so I am extra careful. I don't like the ones that are too salty, or those where you find way too many big chunks of fat. I was actually researching to see where they sell Arg chorizos in the US :D

Yes, I may need to find a butcher that has reasonably priced chorizo...

Exactly avoid those chorizos that can't be sliced because of chunks of fat. Preferently buy chorizo bonbon .
