There were actually two different Mexican restaurants at that location, I can't remember the names but the food was really good. One of them served guac, salsa and chips as an appetizer. One time a friend of mine asked for something spicier and said something like " Nothing is too hot for me". The wait staff brought a another bowl of salsa and said he should be careful but he shoveled a chipful of the salsa and immediately chugged a pitcher of water. He said he thought his heart stopped. The wait staff said " We call that one napalm". I think a lot of this social anxiety could be eased with entertaining at home with a weekly potluck dinner with a dozen or so people. I met my wife at such a dinner a long time ago. We rotated houses and the host had to provide the main course, everyone else brought something. Bringing along someone new was encouraged and it was never dull. Over time the group grew so big we had to move it to restaurants. Like anything else, people come and go and it eventually came to an end but it was fun while it lasted.
