I agree with everything except that last. I was remodeling an Indian restaurant, they were hospitable and let us eat free every day at the buffet, after a week of trying everything they I went back to packing my lunch or eating elsewhere.
I should say I was dating a girl who knew the good restaurants... not cheap either the vindalo was hot the first time they asked how hot and as a Texan I said the hottest. The girl with me thought I was crazy the cook and I guess helpers came out and watched me eat it. I ate it all it was God damn hot but not so much to be a dare just a lot of forehead wiping as I was sweating.
Next time I went with normal heat I asked the chef to make it like he made it if he was going to eat it. Much much better but still hot
I'm native to Colorado so I grew up on green chili. We had this local Mexican restaurant that had incredibly delicious food. They had 6 levels of heat and the top was called "nuclear waste". I tried it once and I got it down but was certainly wiping my sweat off too.
I love spicy food but at a certain point it's not enjoyable, especially the next day on the shitter when you are hoping for the splash. How's the beaner food in Texas? I don't understand how but Commiefornia and Arizona have shit Mexican food compared to Colorado... their's is better than Washington and certainly London but I don't understand how two bordering states have worse food than Colorado.
Texas has a wide variety it can be terrible to off thd charts. Oddly offnthe charts can be expensive upper scale or a small little family place I happen to live close to an example of both. But the border is worth going to visit the little taqqurias <<< however you spell that. Are really good and if the border opens back up u can safely go eat dinner in mexico<<< only go to good expensive places upper class and you get what would be a 50 dollar meal here for 25
