Corn on the cob is a summertime BBQ staple, but have you taken it up a notch with an elote?
That’s corn from one of the talented food truck vendors, and it’s a delicious cheap eat.
A lot of people had something to say about the roasted corn on the cob.
There are also a lot of ways to have your elote, whether it’s in a cup or cob, cheese or chile, butter or mayo, or all of the above.
We took peoples’ favorites and hit the road.
