Elote offers an authentic Mexican dining experience with its delightful cuisine. The standout dish is the street corn, or "elotes," which is praised for its amazing flavors and perfectly grilled to give it a smoky, slightly charred bite. The restaurant serves tasty snacks and refreshing drinks, including a black model michelada and a perfectly crafted michelada. Customers appreciate the fast, polite service and the vibrant atmosphere, enhanced by lively music and beautiful decorations in Old Town.
This hidden gem in Old Town San Diego is conveniently located near other eateries in an urban market setting, making it a great place to relax. Customers have enjoyed the Mango Limonada and Elote en vaso con hot Cheetos, describing the food as delicious. The elote is hot and ready to eat almost immediately, and a squeeze of lime adds the perfect citrusy kick. While some have noted that the elote can be dried out and salty, many are willing to give it another try because of the overall superior experience. The charming area with tables and lounging spots provides a nice setting for enjoying authentic Mexican street food.
