All 3 Grasshoppers Dishes
#1
Blue Corn Quesadilla with Grasshoppers
BósforoCentro Histórico·$$
MXN55.00
Griddled blue corn tortilla filled with cheese, hoja santa and grasshoppers.
Tip: If grasshoppers intimidate you, ask for the quesadilla without them. The bartender won't judge and the filling is excellent on its own.
#2
Guacamole with Chapulines
Guzina OaxacaPolanco·$$$
MXN160.00
Fresh guacamole topped with crispy fried grasshoppers.
Tip: Don't be intimidated by the grasshoppers — they taste nutty and are more texture than anything. Most first-time triers become converts.

TicuchiPolanco·$$$

Fresh tomato and chili salsa studded with crunchy fried grasshoppers, served with tostadas.
Tip: This dish is not for the squeamish, but the grasshoppers taste nutty and add protein and texture. Very Oaxacan.
