Guy checks out Don Chow Tacos, a food truck doing Chinese-Mexican fusion with Kung Pao Chicken Tacos. A combo of ground chili, garlic, brined chicken, tamales and pico de gallo creates a tender, spicy, dream-come-true taco.
Four cooks are surprised by a Cinco de Mayo theme, and in the first basket, they must grapple with a green pie and a big fish fillet. The fiesta continues in round two when the chefs must work with a cheese blend and a Mexican barbecue specialty, then black beans and chocolate are part of the dessert challenge.
An unusually salty vegetable presents the chefs with a quandary in the Appetizer Round. Then a red-hot battle ensues in the entree round, where Thai chilies threaten to overpower the dishes. And when two finalists with very different cooking methods take on Mexican-inspired desserts, the judges face one of their most difficult decisions ever.
