They make a solid elote en vaso, or Mexican-style fresh corn in a cup. I crave the stuff...So simple, sweet and savory, one of my favorite ways to eat sweet corn. This is not your canned corn esquites, rather it's carved fresh from boiled cobs. Sure, I prefer elote on the cob, coal/bbq grilled is even better. But a cup is a lot easier to manage while driving. A small cup was $4, and while they leave too much pot water in it, they make up for it by layering in a lot of cotija cheese -- more than the competition does. I left off the dab of hot sauce so my kiddos could try it, but a little spice would have been nicer. I'm used to Tajin/chile powder instead, but none was offered.
They also offer other snack foods like ice cream, aguas frescas (popular here), even a fermented Mexican drink with an interesting sounding name I've never heard of before.
One bummer, their front window and store sign both prominently show street tacos, but they regretfully informed me they only grill at their other location.
It is a popular lunch spot with locals, and I can see myself stopping in again on a whim. read more
