Judge tosses $100K spicy-salsa suit against Times Square taqueria
A federal judge dismissed a German tourist’s $100,000 lawsuit alleging the salsa at Los Tacos No 1 in Times Square was dangerously spicy, ruling he failed to plausibly claim negligence and could have learned the salsa’s spiciness beforehand. Manz admitted he didn’t ask about salsa contents, and the judge noted his predisposition to spice-related ailments, while recognizing that salsa is commonly spicy.
