The salsa was more sweet than spicy.

If anyone can help, I'd be truly appreciative!
Never been to Javier's...so I don't really know what it tastes like

Cannons Sweet Hots salsa company makes something like what you are describing.

If you want to do it from scratch...My suggestion is to start by using this recipe and then adding the honey to your taste.

1 1/2 lb tomatillos
1/2 cup chopped white onion (don't use yellow...too strong)
1/2 cup cilantro...then chop it finely
1 Tbsp fresh lime juice (or more to taste)
1 teaspoon honey (or more to taste)
2 Jalapeņo peppers, stemmed, seeded and chopped (if you like it milder..use only one)
Salt to taste

Remove the paper-like husks from tomatillos and rinse off. Cut them in half and place cut side down on a foil-lined baking sheet. Place under a broiler (550F) for about 5-7 minutes to lightly blacken the skin. I sit there and watch it, because it doesn't take very long to burn.

You have two options here...
Cut everything finely and mix together or...place the roasted tomatillos, lime juice, onions, cilantro, Jalapeņos, & honey in a food processor (or blender) and pulse until all ingredients are finely chopped and mixed.

After mixing...season to your taste with salt. I like to use Kosher salt, because it dissolves better. Chill in refrigerator or serve warm.

Hope this helps
