A blend of garlic, cilantro, chili powder, mayo, and Cotija cheese in the sauce, plus a final squeeze of lime, makes the corn sweet, salty, savory, nutty, creamy, and tart all at once.
The elotes are usually boiled and transported wrapped in the husks, because cooking them in the husks gives them more flavor.
The eloteros also sell coal-grilled elotes (elotes asados).

These elotes are splashed with salt water and grilled in the coals until the husks start to burn and the kernels reach a crunchy texture. Grilled corn on the cob is a popular street food in Oaxaca, Mexico and makes an easy and tasty summertime side dish. There are so many options when it comes to hot sauce, but my favorites for this elotes recipe are Valentina or Tapatio. Add as much or little as you like depending on your spicy tolerance and enjoy!

This one cart always a line stretching out in front and around the corner with people waiting to get their mitts on classic street tacos, burritos, and grilled Mexican street corn. Elote (aka Mexican Street Corn) is a common street food in Mexico, hence the nickname. It's often served on a stick, though you could skip the skewer and make it right on the grill, like you would. [Photograph: Vicky Wasik] Smoky, sweet, spicy, and tangy, esquites are the off-the-cob version of elotes—grilled Mexican street corn slathered with creamy, cheesy, lime-scented, chili-flecked sauce. In this version, we char the corn on the stovetop, though a trip to the grill wouldn't hurt. Roasted sweet corn is pretty hard to beat during the summer months.
