Centro 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.

Polanco·$$$

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.

Polanco·$$$

MXN120.00

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.
