-
Dixie's BBQ
11522 Northup Way, Bellevue, WA
Folks come for the Man--the tongue-numbing, esophagus-singeing hot sauce. It's spoken of in hushed tones; one taste of the stuff sets mouths on fire. -
Wing Dome
1416 E Olive Way, Seattle, WA
The 7-alarm sauce, made with ground habeneros, is so incredibly fiery that customers are only allowed one wing at a time (the usual order is a dozen). -
Thai Tom
4543 University Way NE, Seattle, WA
The special spicy noodles are some of the best (and hottest) around--and a bargain, to boot. -
La Carta de Oaxaca
5431 Ballard Ave NW, Seattle, WA
Though the kitchen shies away from excessive spice, the options at the self-serve salsa bar pack plenty of hidden heat. -
Chutney's
519 First Ave N, Seattle, WA
You're asking for trouble if you request the full five stars on a curry dish--two is more than enough for most diners.
-
El Camino
607 N 35th St, Seattle, WA
This place draws crowds with quality modern Mexican food, margaritas and a bar full of beautiful people. -
Mama's Mexican Kitchen
2234 2nd Ave, Seattle, WA
This Belltown institution and shrine to south-of-the-border kitsch delivers hearty, satisfying Mexican fare.
