Are you eating breakfast right now? Good! Give this a read:
Last year for my birthday I was looking for a new burrito spot with more than just the usual accouterments i.e. Super burritos and tacos. I happened upon La Oaxaqueña in the Mission District. Along with the usual favorites that a taqueria has this place had some unusual things on the menu including Venison Burritos, Cricket Tacos, and Tarantula Tostadas. It seems that us here in the states get used to our protein coming from the usual source of chicken, pork or beef, but in the mountainous region of Oaxaca, where livestock is harder to maintain, protein must come from other places including insects.
As you may recall, the Health Department banned Oaxaqueña from selling grasshopper tacos last Summer because of some FDA certification noise, but yummy spiders are still up on the menu.

That’s fucking disgusting! Yet still more appetizing than chicken.
OMG. Did you post this for me? I am sooooo coming to visit you.
This is my absolute worst nightmere. I am not kidding. I don’t know if I can ever eat mexican again after reading this. Thanks a lot! This picture will haunt me forever.
Like, oh-em-gee…That’s like, soooooo gnarly sick! This reminds me of the time I was totally craving a chicken wrap and went into this, like, taco-rilla on 16th and mission. I had to like, wait in line with like, all these gross guys, and like, all they had were burritos…and NO WRAPS!
i think that may or may not be his mother your poking fun at there, hun.
This is by far your most horrifying post ever
I don’t think bugs are meat. They’re more like shrimp or lobsters or something.
=0 horrifying!
