"The Best Places To Try Edible Insects In Mexico City: Los Danzantes - Another one of Mexico City’s restaurants themed around pre-Hispanic food, Los Danzantes serve up a selection of exquisite dishes that incorporate grasshoppers. One comes with cheese, guacamole and salsa and the other is served atop a crunchy tostada, accompanied by goat’s or sheep’s cheese. Again, this is a great way to ease yourself into edible insects, in one of Mexico City’s top restaurants."

"The chicatana, an ant which is harvested just once a year in Oaxaca, comes served in the form of a thick sauce on a crispy tostada, topped with pieces of marrow. The flavor is incredible; rich, deep and savory, with a slight smokiness. Mostly because of the challenges of harvesting, and for their limited season, these bugs can be expensive and difficult to find so this is a great time to try them out."

"The first dish we tried was a build-your own taco, featuring chinicuiles – also known as gusano de maguey – which are a type of moth larvae. They look like little white worms, and fried up with the green-bean-like flor de maguey (known as gualambos), are a salty, multi-textured treat."

"Must-eat is the escamoles tacos. If you have never tried these larvae, it is time: here they are prepared in the traditional way, sautéed with butter, onion, epazote and Lenten chili, which enhances its flavor.
