In the heart of Burien, across from AM/PM lies this hidden gem. They have a variety of different choices for corn on the cob. I told my sister that I have never been here before, and off we go. The staff there was really generous, corn on the cob was delicious. It might look basic but it's delicious. I would totally recommend this spot! read more

Good food good price everytime. Great service, the workers work hard and fast. They are very attentive and great manners. You can dine inside they have tables but they make the food easy to carry out as well. Super cute store with tons of treats you don't find too often. I recommend this gem to everyone I meet. My bf is also very happy with the extra chips that came with his corn lol read more

A wonderful assortment of all the classic Mexico snacks/goodies. From bionicos to chicharrones and a wide array of candies and refrescos. I went in and got a small of esquites which was $4.20 + tax which which was closer to $6 out the door. I got 2 salsaghettis as well and my total was over $9. Seemed a bit overpriced but the flavors of my childhood doesn't have a price tag too high in my humble opinion. The bottom of my esquites was just hot water and hot Cheetos crumbles . read more

Yummmm this Corn is always Hot and delicious! I also love their mango cup! Only downside is, there's always a line... but that's a good thing right? Things taste better when you have to wait for them. If you're ever in white center definitely make a pit stop for a light snack. read more

Corn. Corn. Corn. Mango. Chili pepper. Queso. Lime. Mayo. The corn is delicious. We wimped out and should have gotten the spicier version because the mayo, lime, and queso easily balance the spice. The name says it all... almost. There are also cups with mango and chili pepper and lime. And beverages. And you don't have to have the corn on the cob. You can have it in a cup. But why? Isn't part of the fun getting corn on your face and hands? If you're hankering for some street style Mexican corn, get yourself there. I'm not sure why other Mexican restaurants don't just serve this amazing side. And maybe someday Best Roasted Corn will add a protein or two as a side. In the meantime, they are focused on getting that corn, mayo, queso, lime thing down pat. Side note, I do have a feeling someone would smirk at you if you ordered their "Asian" corn which has no such ingredients. It is just plain roasted corn. I'm confused too. read more

i ordered #14 Bionico. it's good amount of fruit for the price. $7 before tax. it's not too sweet which i enjoy since i'm not that much into super sweet things. it's just enough sweetness that if you're craving something sweet without worrying about your teeth hurting. the workers were nice and were properly wearing masks and gave quick service. my ONLY complaint would be that the parking lot area is on the very smaller side so if you come in during a busy time of the day or week, it might be hard to find parking but that shouldn't stop you from visiting and trying their food. i'll definitely be coming back to try other items off the menu. read more

This corn stand is so good. I got the mexican corn and American corn, the mexican corn was phenomenal with butter, mayonnaise, cheese, and the chile powder. It all blended together to make a phenomenal treat and for only $3 it is hands down the best snack in town for under $10. The American corn with salt, pepper and butter had a little spice to it which was nice and tasted amazing. Would recommend this place to anybody. Going again tomorrow night with some family. read more
