Chicago, United States
Spicy Taco
Walk-in friendly, casual, and priced at $, Spicy Taco is a practical Logan Square pick for Mexican street food, quick pacing, and group-friendly ordering. Go for taco dinners, the Burrito $12 Combo, or a torta when value and heat matter more than a polished dining room or beverage program.
26
Maputo, Mozambique
Spicy Thai Restaurant Maputo
On Avenida Julius Nyerere, Maputo's main diplomatic corridor, Spicy Thai Restaurant occupies a niche that few restaurants in Mozambique's capital attempt: Southeast Asian cooking in a city whose dining identity is built on piri-piri seafood and Portuguese-inflected grills.

New York City, United States

Kastel Gomilica, Croatia

On the waterfront of Kaštel Gomilica, one of the seven medieval villages strung along the bay between Split and Trogir, Spinnaker Marina Kaštela occupies a marina-side position that places it closer to local fishing supply chains than most tourist-oriented coastal venues.
