The 12 Essential Spicy Dishes in Los Angeles - Eater LA
"“This taco is extremely spicy,” the menu at Guisados reads. Frankly, that’s not nearly enough of a disclaimer. The chiles toreados taco at this Boyle Heights institution may well be among the hottest three bite-dishes anywhere, thanks to its mix of Thai chiles, jalapenos, serrano peppers, and generous habanero peppers and salsa. Luckily, the taco is more than just a pure fireball; it’s a blistered, satisfying concoction served on the restaurant’s signature handmade corn tortillas along with a smear of black beans. Tread lightly, but don’t be afraid to try it at least once, especially because there’s plenty of cooling (and excellent) horchata nearby. 2100 East Cesar E.
