“ I appreciate that this is a reliable elote food stand on the map. The line was long but the wait was quick. My friend got the smaller cup, and I got the larger one. The large was way too much food! I think we spent around 110. The elote was good, but the super rich flavor made me only want a little. ”
“ The biggest elotes in Mexico City and next to Parque Mexico. Do not hesitate to come here, you won’t regret the elotes here. They are the best! ”
“ The elotes here were the right amount of sweet and savoury with the mayo and chilli. The esquites was definitely the stand-out of the two and the sourness of the lemon really cut through the creamy richness of the mayo ”
“ Best elotes (corn) and enquites (corn in a cup) in town. They load them up just right. Cash or money transfer only. 50 for the small esquite, and 40 for a small corn. ”
“ No line when we came by on Monday night. My wife got the whole elote and I got a large esquite with everything. Very good both of them! Definitely recommend!! Corn was very tasty and very filling and the two gentlemen were very friendly!! Thank you. ”
“ Excellent esquites! I would highly recommend the house made chili salsa. ”
“ I'm a high ranked certified somelier of ezquites & elotes from different academies around Mexico. From the renowned school of elotes research institute. I can say this ezquites are a total genuine mouth melting experience for Mexicans, only. I have no idea how tourists can even know what the spirit of que ezquite contains, but they are fortunate by just having access to such an Aztec dish. As this dish is for Gods only, as myself. ”
“ A good place to try elotes and esquites - corn topped with chili, salt, butter, cotija cheese, lime juice, and mayonnaise. While the taste was a bit exquisite for gringos, the locals appreciated it as the stall was very popular and the line was long. They also had doriesquite and tostiesquite options as well, but we didn't dare to try them. ”
