The Elote Guy

I need to find this elote guy, but if I’m right about who I think it is then he’s awesome. He prepares the elotes however you want and his chicharones are also really good. He gladly gave us his number to call when we are craving and he’ll come by.

Love it!

I have literally hunted this guy down every year since i moved to Albany Park. It’s possibly the fatiest thing you could eat, but sooooo delicious. My favorite is the Elotes guy who has his cart setup outside of Cermak Produce on Kedzie.

Like? Hell, LOVE. Might even be one of my kids’ real daddy. Just saying — might be.

Fellow Unilocalers, where’s the love for our local Elote carts? There are many in my neighborhood, but props to this guy for pushing his cart in snow during the winter! He parks the cart across Volta Elementary school every single day, where he’s surrounded by mothers and children waiting for after school snacks.
It’s all about the elotes, of course. Corn on the cob slathered with mayo, butter, cheese, and chile powder. You can also opt for elote en vaso, which is corn + toppings in a cup and eaten with a spoon. Other items he may have (depending on the day): mango with chile, cucumber with chile, puffed wheat pin wheels with hot sauce
He’s very friendly and we talked about where he’s from (Mexico City) while he prepared my elote. And he knows his customers well, which is always a good thing. Elote Guy, you deserve 5 stars!

i LOVE elotes. they are so tasty and delicious and everything you could want in the universe. they are better than sex. yup, i said it. elotes never let you down. they never say they will call and then don’t.
this cart is one of the best i have found in the city. she’s (the owner of the cart) is really nice and the cart is super clean. she also serves the other snacks one would find on an elote cart. nieve and fruit (with or without chilli).
