Chef/owner Ruben Rodriguez is a wizard with peppers, drawing salsa addicts back to his cozy South Austin dining spot to see what new concoctions he's putting on the table. We crave the roasted tomato and jalapeño combo and their crunchy vegetables in tart, fiery homemade escabeche. We're also partial to the creamy black bean and sour cream salsa with the warm afterburn. And there must be a spot in the Hot-As-Hell Hall of Fame for the innocent-looking caribe pepper salsa that hits the taste buds like molten lava.
