This is one of those Americanisms that confuse me. Food in my country isn't typically spicy at all, but we're supposedly a region that can't get enough of it due to everyone thinking we're just an extension of Mexico.
Yeah in a lot of Latin America spicy food is not common or popular at all, but most Americans I know seem to think every Spanish speaking country has the spiciest food.
I think a lot of it is because of the large amount of Americans with Mexican and Puerto Rican ancestry. They're the ones I saw the most pushing that "you know you're Latino if you eat spicy food like it's nothing" stuff the most.
