Beer and Wine Payless

I came here to sample their elotes cart, rickity little thing sitting out front of the beer and wine convenience store. They also have a gas pump that is most always cheaper than the city average. I’m not sure what the average clientele is here because it’s kind of randomly situated on Harry Hines, where the car shops and dingy motels are. Anyway, when I asked for some elotes at the cart, they looked like they had seen their first customer ever! Total surprise! The lady and the man behind the cart didn’t speak english very well but good thing I know my way around ordering elotes! At $ 3 for a cup, this place probably had the most expensive elotes around. The prices aren’t labeled anywhere so I have a fishy feeling that they just charge whatever to whoever they feel like. Ingredients were also subpar. The corn is probably from a can, sitting for however long in heated pot. Although I asked for everything on the elotes, I think this place only puts mayo and cheese on top. And only two choices of hot sauces which have questionable shelf life. I’m not expecting a sterile environment when I’m around an elotes cart, but the folks who worked there had dirty clothes and their cart didn’t look that clean either. Elotes themselves were pretty chewy and not very good. And from the looks of it, they don’t get much business, so who knows how long their inventory has been sitting around. Oh gosh I’m now really regretting that I ate it.
