For the burrito, I order a small Pulled Pork Burrito ($16). It uses Yucatan pork shoulder, zesty rice, re-fried beans, cheese, guacamole, sour cream, burrito sauce, roasted tomato salsa, shredded lettuce, spring onion and shredded cabbage.

In additional, you’ll get to choose the heat level from 1 (Mild) to 10 (Face Melter). My naïve thought at that time was: “Well, it’s New Zealand, I had Indian food with extra spicy menu here that didn’t taste spicy at all… How bad could it be?”

So, I opted for level 9 (I think level 10 wasn’t available that time). The moment I bite into the burrito: instant regret (I have been warned). It wasn’t spicy, IT WAS PAIN, instantly!

In the end, I had to bring it back to my hostel, bought a tub of yogurt, and chuck a load of it every couple bites of the burrito when it got unbearably spicy/painful. Moral of the story: try a lower heat level first before moving up to the danger zone!
