Actually no they can't be worked around. That is the point.

Habaneros do grow here by the way, I have grown them myself and used them in making my own salsa. One of my favorite dishes at aforementioned Mexican place is a habanero shrimp dish that they make. Delicious.
I stand by the claim that in general the South is the most bland food in America, however don't mistake spicey with hot.
Take for example Italian food or pizza in the south. Italian sauces in the south are made with sugar and are very sweet. In New York City it is dominated by garlic/oregano and have no sugar. I have never found a good spicy pizza in the South. Spicy in this case being heavy garlic and oregano.
Jake,
Yea I was talking about the SouthEast. I agree with you about Houston. The third best Mexican breakfast and the second best prime rib I ever had was in Houston.
