Calling all taco lovers: Are you brave enough to try tacos filled with bugs, eyeballs, brains and other odd bits?
Taquitos de lengua
Making beef tongue tacos at home is quite the ordeal, but the resulting meal is totally worth it.
Grasshopper and ant larvae tacos
Crunchy grasshoppers and nutty ant larvae make for an “interesting” culinary experience.
Scorpion tacos
Surely scorpion tacos are the food of your dreams. And by dreams, I definitely mean nightmares.
Spicy pork tongue tacos
Forget the dry chicken breast, and try these flavorful pork tongue tacos with avocado-cilantro crema instead.
Tripe tacos
When your favorite taco truck makes them, tripe (intestine) tacos can be surprisingly tasty.
PBJ bacon tacos
At Taco Asylum in Southern California, you can try the peanut butter and jelly bacon tacos. Sounds weird but good.
Grasshopper-tomato tacos
The best strategy for trying these grasshopper tacos for the first time? Don’t look inside your tortilla.
Butterfly larvae tacos
Your taste buds will be metamorphosed after the first bite of this butterfly larvae taco.
Cricket tacos
These crickets aren’t singing anymore, but hopefully your taste buds will after trying this taco.
Brain tacos
Brain tacos sound weird, but apparently they have a creamy texture that’s irresistible after the first bite.
Ant larvae tacos
Escamoles, also known as insect caviar, is a Mexican delicacy made from ant larvae. Yum?
Duck tongue tacos
Duck tongue tacos — apparently that’s a thing you can get in Vegas. What don’t they do there?
Moth larvae tacos
I’d be more open to trying these moth larvae tacos if they didn’t look so much like housefly maggots.
Sheep’s eyeball tacos
Supposedly the eyeballs are the tastiest part of the sheep. But I’ll let you try it first.
Agave worm tacos
Maybe I could handle smaller grubs, but these big guys on the right half of the taco? I’ll leave them to the pros.
Chicken liver tacos
Crispy chicken liver tacos at Taqueria del Sol in Georgia are the perfect way to start eating offal.
Pig ear tacos
Thinly sliced pig ears are the star of these tacos at The Famous Bar in Glendale, California.
