The bug tacos were semi DIY. The place had tortillas that they had put bugs (larva), onion, cilantro and a little sauce (we think it was crema freska) into.
They also had bugs with avocado and salsa on tortilla chips.
The different dishes had different bugs.
They also had little bowls so you could snack on sauteed bugs.
THere was also a "live bar". That made me feel a little barbaric though.

Hi, G
Does eating bugs taco-style mean that there were taco shells stuffed with bug?
Intriguing to imagine whether you got to stuff your own taco or not.
This morning I taught a class where we wrote for nearly all of the two hours, with some talking in between. The guy who would have grumbled about so much writing left early, so we had good fun.
Now that I'm thirty, my eyes get bloodshot, I'm eating carrots tonight, wondering if 9:30 is too early to go to bed. I'm not going to think too hard about it.

Not to dwell on the subject of food, but, we went to a bug eating event at a local gallery. We ate crickets (Mexican style; with chili powder), meal worms and some sort of beetle. We had them all in taco form. It seemed like most of the participants were more interested in taking pictures of bugs than they were in actually eating them.
