Foods spiced with pepper or hot peppers don't interact well with my body. They frequently induce coughing fits, because if they hit the back of my throat in the right way, instant irritation. This makes it very difficult for me to eat picante foods, completely ignoring that I don't _like_ having my mouth burning, and the fact that it tends to make me have indigestion.

What's annoying is when it sneaks up on me, and I don't realize that something I'm eating is going to try to bite me back. Then I get to have coughing fits and cause people to ask if I'm ok. Yeah, fine, just my food hates me...

can tolerate only tiny amounts of it when I'm trying to taste the _other_ flavors in the food that are being suppressed by it.

Yep.

And I note that most Mexican restaurants are very, very boring if one doesn't like spicy hot foods. Is why I tend to avoid them.

That is my general opinion of Mexican restaurants as well, but every once in a while I go for a plain cheese quesadilla with absolutely nothing but cheese in it (although it can take some persuading for them to leave everything else out), followed by a choice (or a collection) of really yummy desserts.

Yay.

The only mexican restaurant I like so far is one that lets me have burrito with cheese, rice, olives, and sweet potatoes. is good. Chips, plain cheese quesadillas, and flan is also quite good though too.

This one does. It also has broccoli and garlic, but those are temporary specials...
