Default Burpee's "Mexicana" hybrid

I had gotten the seeds at the local flower show this spring for free and decided to give them a try. The plants are determinate. We had some space in the front of our house where the hedges used to be so we stuck 4 out there. The resulting tomatoes are orange, small, hard and tasteless....but stay forever on the vine with no cracking of any kind. One plant had a bit of blossom end rot. But as far as productivity.....these things are unstoppable. At least 10 tomatoes per plant per day. HUGE clusters of fruit. I can barely keep up with them as far as dehydrating them and making sauce.

Has anyone else ever grown them?
Is there another sauce tomato that is as productive and an OP variety?
What kinds of sauce tomatoes have you all grown and what is your favorites?
(Believe it or not, I am not much of a cook, and have just learned how to make homemade sauce last week. I am LOVING the results and plan to plant many more tomatoes next year).
