Mmmm...something tells me I'm going to start taking walks more often!

Would love to try a sofrita but we have no Chipolte near us.

(14,691 posts)twice I ordered items in a vegan restaurant that I didn't expect to be spicy but were actually unpleasantly so (for me), e.g., a very spicy TLT (Tofu lettuce tomato).

Get your damned sriracha away from my food!

(14,691 posts)When I ordered the Tofu BLT I was very surprised by the heat but I foolishly ate it anyway because I was hungry. It made me sick. (Since then they've put in the description that it had a chipotle sauce. I never would have ordered it if I knew about the chipotle.) Then some other restaurant I think has the same owners - months later I ordered something else (don't recall what) that I was sure would not be spicy and it was. I didn't finish it. Not everybody likes or can tolerate very spicy food. WTF?

(25,586 posts)and I do fine with the sofritas -- the little bit of kick that is there is cooled down by the guacamole and rice. I just made sure to avoid the salsa.

(24,835 posts)Personally, I don't like the way it tastes. I always go with black beans and guac. The guac is free if you do it that way.
