Elote, esquites, fresh fruit, and more! We were looking for a quick snack in West Seattle and found this bright yellow food truck on the side of the street. They have different variations of toppings for their roasted corn cob on a stick. It comes out piping hot and slathered in toppings. I preferred the elote over the esquites, which was a bit too watery and sweet for my taste. I also got the mango cup, which had the most perfect mango spears I've ever had. Perfectly sweet and golden mango coated in chamoy and tajin. My current favorite treat for a hot day. It was a one-man operation when I visited so the wait was about 10 min for 3 items. It's parked off the side of the road next to a Mexican food truck. Street parking is available. read more

I love the elote or esquite from here, it's always good. They have a pretty big menu for such a small truck. I've never been disappointed. Service was quick today, I went around 3ish. I like that everything is easily transportable. The truck is also right next to a taco truck so it's perfect combo for lunch or dinner. read more

I don't know if you've ever tried corn with different things on it but this place is absolutely wonderful. The corn is fresh and delicious with a large sizes. They put everything you can name on this corn and it makes the corn delicious. I like mayonnaise Parmesan and chili powder. It's absolutely wonderful. I was suggested spice to. It's a great place and a great idea. read more

I've heard people talk about this corn stand food stuck when they mention the Taqueria La Fondita taco truck next to it. After eating our tacos there we went next door to check this place out. They sell corn-on-the-cob, corn in a cup, and a variety of fruits in a cup. We got the hot cheetos esquite ($6.30 for a medium) which consisted of corn, mayonnaise, cheese, and hot cheetos dust. The mayonnaise really brought everything together and I liked the cheese. I would've preferred if it was in a wider cup or bowl so there was more of the hot cheetos dust because the ratios didn't match up with the corn. Also, it was definitely canned corn and not roasted but still good. There's no dedicated eating area but I imagine most people (like us) just eat in covered area next to the taco truck. read more

Good for a late night snack! The corn was good. We got one on the cob and one in a cup. The corn on the cob was definitely more sweet than the one in the cup, but overall good snack! Service was okay nothing out of the ordinary other than it did take them about 5-10 minutes just to greet us. read more

It really is the BEST corn in the city!! When I crave elote (corn) this is the one and only spot. I've been coming here since I was in high school. Over 10 years ago when they only sold corn, and they're still making the best elote but now with some other tasty treats. My go to is "Mexican" style with mayo, cheese (Cotija-Aged Mexican Cheese), chill powder and lemon. Extra chili because I like it spicy! And in a cup so I won't ruin my outfit, only speaking by experience. Though I do prefer corn on the cob normally, I believe they use canned corn for the cup version. But with all the ingredients in a cup it's all good to me. Service is always friendly, and it is worth the wait if they have a line or lots of orders. Supporting this business makes me happiest most that I help to support my community. read more

Came here for some good roasted corn in these wet winters. Seeing all the good reviews I was very excited to try it out. Its a food truck, their is another food truck as well serving mexican food, crowded with customers. Parking is not easily available. We were told that they only serve boiled corn. What a let down. Did not try anything from this place. Then why the name "Roasted Corn"? read more

Best Roasted Corn Stand - Food Trucks Near Me - Burien, Washington

If you like the Mexican roast corn and fruit treats, this is the place to be! They keep a straight forward menu focusing on different flavors of roasted corn on the cob and fruits in a cup. The picture in my review has full menu. Think mangoes and cucumbers with chili powder. It'll remind you of your vacation in Mexico. Their prices are very reasonable. Corn is $3, while the big cups of fruit are $6. Nowadays a corn at the street fair is $5. This is much more reasonable. There's no dedicated parking, street only. There's also no dedicated eating area, but most people are getting tacos from taco truck next door, so they eat both at the taco truck's eating area. read more

Their mangonadas are soooo refreshing on a hot summer day! Always quick and friendly service. Prices are a little high but it's worth it, in my opinion. Support local businesses always ! Elotes are pretty good too but I prefer to come here for the fruits :). Last time I had this was 2018 and I've been thinking about it ever since. So glad to see they're still doing well. read more

We got a Mangonada, a cup of sliced mangos, cup of corn, and a corn on the cob both Mexican style. Everything was AMAZING! The mangos were absolutely perfectly ripe. Some places local to me put non ripe mango in the Mangonadas. Which sucks. But no sucking here!! My husband love the cup of corn. Usually he complains that there's too much water in the cup. Not here! If we lived closer I would come here EVERY day and I would go broker than I'm going from Starbucks. We will go back again. Just not soon enough. read more

How can an elote stand be anything less than 5 stars? It's corn. A big lump with knobs. It has the juice. Really though, it's great. They have different flavorings and toppings (for example, the "Asian" was just salt). I had to go with the "Mexican" of course, with your classic mayo, cheese, chili powder and lime. It was flavorful, delicious and less than 5 dollars. Friendly staff, and right next to taqueria la fondita so you can also grab some tacos to go with it! Fantastic stand. read more

Best Roasted Corn Stand - #10. Tosti-Esquite - Food Trucks Near Me - Burien, Washington

I had been seeing Mangonadas and Elotes in many youtube vlogs for a long time now. I got curious one day and looked on yelp to see where I could go to try both of these things. The Roasted Corn Stand came up in my search and I started to read reviews. People kept mentioning to try the corn in the cup so I went for that and a Mangonada. Driving out of our way to try this was such a good decision. I am a fan! I think next time I will want to try the Elotes on a cob though. The corn cup was warm, and smelled strongly of cheese. The first bite was sooo yummy! The Mangonada tasted really good too. It was sweet and the flavors really stood out. The one thing I did not like was the ice chunks. Some of the shaved ice was clumped together and it was not as smooth as I was expecting, like a smoothie I guess. I had never had one before though so I guess maybe they are all like that? This place is literally a stand on the corner. You cannot miss it when driving by. It was pretty busy for a nice sunny weekend afternoon. There is a taco truck right by it too so there is a crowd around. They are cash only so be prepared ! read more

I cannot thank fellow yelpers on showing me this gem. My husband and I are either in Seattle, LAX or YVR every other week. It just seems that After moving back and forth from Los Angeles, I always miss my staple foods which are, tacos, tamales, tostilocos, horchata, mangonada and my most favourite food in the world, ELOTE!! Maybe cause I'm a born fatty, but the lime and crunchy sweet corn and cheese, just everything makes everything all better.. we went and it was 11:10am, he was prepping and said he'd be running a few minutes behind schedule so we didn't mind and walked around the Mexican and Asia seafood markets to kill some time. Was it worth the wait? HELL FRICKEN YESSSS!!!! We ordered 2 corns "Mexican style" $3 per Cobb to take back with us and reheat later which is BOMB.COM and 2 cups of elote in $4 cups ($3,$4,$5 cups available) as well to enjoy then and a fresh shaved ice Mangonada!! During the first bite I closed my eyes and can picture the days when I was a young preteen chasing elote man for this! Seems to some people a sketchy area but they seem to be trying to make it a bit more "hipster?" Only real thing you maybe need to worry about is the old man who begs for extra dollars and looks 32 months pregnant with his finger inside his belly button. We will be back next week! Thank you for a great experience and effing fabulous orgasm in our mouths! read more

This place? Look, I would drive from Tacoma all the way to White Center to eat this. Often times, my cousins so drive that distance for this place. I don't know if it's the love they put in it or really putting some elbow grease because the corn here is *chef's kiss* the women that are usually working are so sweet. I love coming here because the food quality is always 10/10. Their corn is so yummy and for the price, very reasonable and affordable on my personal budget. Parking is pretty decent, though nowhere to sit. Which honestly, I don't know how you can make it across the street without bodying the whole cup. read more

I was looking for a place to get a mangoneada, and came across this and was excited they also have street corn!! Mangoneada $6: In general, this is only the third I've had in my life, as they are a recent discovery for me. I love the combination of the mand the spices, and the tamarind candy coated straw! Compared to the others I've had, this one had more juice and less mango chunks, which makes it a lovely refreshing drink. Next time, I want to try asking for less ice, since we were left with a decently big chunk at the end. Esquite $5 large: I love corn in a cup and how it's less messy to eat vs corn on the cob. This also conveniently fits in your cup holder if you're taking it to go! They do have a seating area if you want to dine in. I grabbed a stamp card since I know I'll be back! ***** My Star Ratings: 1 Star - Terrible. Just thinking about it makes me angry. 2 Stars - Meh. Unlikely for me to return. 3 Stars - OK. Open to coming back, but wouldn't go out of my way to. 4 Stars - Yummy! Will definitely return if I haven't already. 5 Stars - AMAZING!!! Would plan my day or even a trip around eating here. read more

I love this place. They have excellent elotes (roasted corn is also available in a cup if you need something easier to carry) , and a variety of other snacks and treats. There is a menu of the different elote preparations on the front of the truck. I typically get the mexican one but the other ones look great too! Pricing is very fair, and staff is super friendly. The taco truck next door is also really good, I recommend trying both! read more

Oh my goodness... My friends and I came here during our recent trip to Seattle and my goal was to TRY THE CORN. I love corn. My boyfriend and I decided to share a #2 Mexican style corn but we got it in a cup instead of on the cobb. They have three different sizes for you to choose from: $3, $4, and $5. I'm not 100% on the actual size by oz. but you definitely get a ton of corn in the cups. We got the smallest one and it was still a decent amount. The toppings that she uses makes it taste so buttery and smooooth!!! It does get a bit watery towards the bottom of the cup though and that's the only set back. I'm sure that eating it on the cobb is just as good and may give you a different feeling. But the cup is less messy and seems like they give you more. Definitely give them a try. The corn stand is located right next to a taco stand. The area is a bit sketchy though. I mean, we went during the day so it was okay but yeah. read more

Best Roasted Corn Stand - #2 in the smallest cup! - Food Trucks Near Me - Burien, Washington

After always hearing about the bomb elottes & mangonadas in white center from a food truck in white center, I had to give it a try. After searching on Yelp, I was able to find this spot pretty quickly. Upon arriving, I saw that this was a food stand instead of a food truck, but none the less, I was set on trying it. There was a little line, but the wait wasn't too long. I ordered the mangonada & the mexican style elottes. I got it in a cup so I got a higher volume of delish & I was not disappointed. The mangonada is a tad sweet at first, but as more of the ice melted, it turned out to get progressively more delicious. As for the elottes, I got the biggest size cup ($5) and I was not disappointed. The toppings on the corn was added twice in the cup, once on the top and once halfway, resulting in a delicious bite every time. Being adventerous, I also tried the tostilocos and they were pretty subpar. It was my first time having something like this, and if they went a little lighter on the chamoy, it would have been monumentally better. Overall, this food truck/stand does live up to the hype, and if I'm in the area, i will 100% come back to get more. The Elottes & mangonada is a must get! read more

CASH ONLY! No seating. Went to the street taco stand and saw this. Yes, I want some corn. We got the Mexican version with mayo, cayenne pepper, cheese, salt, lemon. Yes it was DELICIOUS! I didn't find it to be spicy. Got the kids the butter, salt and pepper. Wish I had them hold the pepper as my kids don't like any sort of spice. They make some crazy dishes called Takilocos with chips and I don't know what. I am for sure ordering one of those next time as everyone else seemed to be ordering them. The corn was $3 and well worth it. I also ordered their mango, cayenne and salt dessert. Excellent as well. This is fair food at its finest. No seating. Some of the workers were fast and ours was very slow. It's a popular stand so expect a line on weekends. read more

Proletariat Pizza says it put White Center on the map, but I deep-down believe that it was this Mexican Roasted Corn Stand! No one can resist a down-to-earth "elote," no matter who you are! I had been searching near and far for some Latinos here in Seattle and finally hit the spot. All this time they have been hiding in White Center and South Park. Squatting in the parking lot of an Asian produce market is the infamous corn stand. Here's how it works: -Pick up cash from an ATM (Cash only!) and pull your car into the lot during their business hours of 10 am - 10 pm daily -Decide whether you want an ear of corn or shaved corn in a cup. -Choose a size. -Make your corn "pop" by giving it an ethnic twist and flavor: --American: Butter, salt, black pepper --Mexican: Mayonnaise, powdered cheese, chili powder, lemon juice --Asian: Plain --Central American: Mayonnaise, powdered cheese, mustard, ketchup, chili powder --African: Lemon juice, chili powder, salt Side note: I personally found it funny that the Asian is plain. -Enjoy/Disfrute! -Warning: The powdered cheese is crack because you will find yourself craving more corn and returning. If you'd like porn, I mean CORN, and a movie, they have a selection of burned DVDs for sale too. read more

I turn into Pavlov's dog, salivating, when I even think about this place. There are a handful of Elote places in town but this one is easily the best. They have the traditional version with cheese, mayo and lime but they also do several other styles with other types of sauces and toppings. They'll put it in a cup which is useful for us bearded folk or if you want to eat it somewhere else besides the middle of White Center(kind of a rough block there.) It's run by a family and they are as nice as can be. I really like supporting a small business like this. read more
