With the blender broken I want to have more salsa.

I've gone decades without looking at let alone using the blender but since I can't use it (I haven't figured out hot they use a drill to run the blades) more I wanna use it. Using the blender to make salsa is a very recent thing. I took pride in making my salsa (Pico De Gallo) but since I started to oven roast the maters, onions and chilis and blend it in to a smoothie I am a changed man (read even more lazy).
I think I'll try using the suribachi (yes like the mountain) the Japanese molcajite a.k.a mortar and pestle. Gonna try this before forking over cash for a real Molcajite or a new blender. The Molcajite I want ain't cheap especially the shipping. I wanna try making salsa by just crushing it. Same ingredients different methods.

Salsa is supposed to be chunky not mashed or like catsup.
Can't think of a single ingredient that should be in a blender or mortar and pestle.
I'm gonna let the O.G. Gringo Mexicano do the schooling. Also Pace isn't the only salsa out there.
What to look for before buying.
How they make it and the one I wanna buy. Sold by Masienda.
While shopping for ingredients/condiments for pho I bought some 'maters for salsa since some ingredients are shared between the two. Any ways the 'maters were extra shiny today for some reason like they were shellacked. I say shellacked because the shiny flacked on to my hands like fish scales.
So on the way to pay I went by the kitchen tool area. I saw me a molcajete 8" made by Imusa for $38. Made in China (they took their job!!!). It was granite and machine made so half price wasn't bad. I Figure Granite is kind a like Basalt.
