When you order their chilaquiles, they offer a choice between regular or spicy. Just a heads up—the regular is already pretty spicy! I tried the spicy version once, and wow, it was extremely hot. I managed to finish it, but just barely. The flavor was fantastic, but if you can't handle intense heat, I would...
