And it’s hard to beat when it’s flambéed and served with chorizo:

But where there is fire, there are lawsuits, as Dos Salsas Café in Cedar Park recently learned after a diner patron was burned by their quesos falmeados appetizer.

Erika Saenz, who is seeking more than $1 million in damages, claims she was subjected to “life-altering burns” from the dish, which, according to the suit, comes prepared and “served flaming at the table.”
