These tacos are made with Carolina Reaper powder. The spiciest pepper in the world, they are 3.1 MILLION times hotter than a jalapeno. You have to sign a waiver to eat them, and if you're up for a challenge, they'll give you 5 minutes to eat two.

Can't handle the heat? There are plenty of other options. Try the Mango Tango, Beef Barbacoa, Jamaican Me Crazy (jerk chicken + pineapple habanero salsa), or Look Mom, I'm Vegan.
