Street-style elotes consist of roasted corn on the cob dressed with mayonnaise, cotija cheese, chili powder, and lime juice for a messy, flavorful handheld snack. What sets this apart is its place among classic Mexican street foods like tacos and tamales, prepared fresh for quick service. The corn stays crisp-tender with toppings that deliver heat building gradually from the chili. It's a reliable side that complements grilled meats on the menu.
