My food truck critic moment: a 60 second comment changed my whole menu

I run a taco cart on Saturdays near the river market, and a regular finally told me my salsa was all heat, no flavor. She said, 'it burns but it doesn't taste like anything.' That hit me because I had been using the same dried chiles for two years, just adding more cayenne when folks asked for spice. I spent a weekend roasting fresh jalapenos and tomatillos, then blended in a little honey and lime. Now that same salsa outsells my hot sauce 3 to 1 and people actually ask for the recipe. Has anyone else had a customer point out a flaw that obvious, and did you fix it or just nod along?
