Guelaguetza
There is a lot to like about this Oaxacan restaurant, including the opportunity to dine on one of Mexico’s most famous treats: grasshoppers. They are deep-fried crispy, crunchy, and salty. And, once you get past eew, they actually are tasty, even addictive. Kids will get a kick out of seeing them served tableside in a big heaping pile ready to eat by the handful.

They add a touch of flair with a fun black (activated charcoal) crust, and they top it off with a generous amount of spicy hot Cheetos. This is a must-try and a must Instagram post!
