German Tourist Seeks Spice Warnings After Salsa Lawsuit

A German tourist says he suffered severe physical symptoms after eating salsa at Los Tacos No. 1 in Times Square and sued the chain in 2024 for failure to warn about spice. A federal judge ruled against him earlier this year, finding no duty to warn about salsa heat, and while he isn’t appealing, he hopes the restaurant will add labels to inform customers about spice levels.
