No, "spicy" is not a specific area of the tongue. Instead, spiciness is perceived through pain receptors in the mouth, particularly from compounds like capsaicin found in chili peppers. These receptors can trigger a sensation of heat or spiciness across the entire mouth, rather than being localized to a specific part of the tongue.

How does tongue detect spiciness?
There is not an actual 'spicy' taste bud. When you get oils from a chilli pepper on you hands it starts to burn quickly, this is similar to what happens to your tongue. Capsaicin, the chemical that produces the sensation of spiciness is damaging some of the nerves at the surface of the tongue. Hence, someone who eats spicy food regularly will grow a tolerance for even spicier foods as the nerves on the tongue have become 'numb' to capsaicin.
