Ordered the elote in a cup and agua Fresca strawberry, $18.50. The elote in a cup had way too much mayo and nothing else. I asked for extra hot sauce after watching the guy put hella mayo, still didn’t work. Not worth the money. And parking SUCKS!

When chicharrones are on the menu, I expect a real fried pork rinds, not an expensive wheel of garbage made out of pork-flavored wheat and corn starch. So pissed. 😡

Ordered tosti elotes on door dash and they didn’t add any Tostitos at all.

PSA, Google hours are incorrect. Employee said they close at 7pm on weekdays and 7:30pm on weekends. Came on a Friday at 7:10pm and they were already closed ☹️

I just ordered an elote cup and I have to say I was disappointed compared to the experience I had a few months ago. First time I tried this place it was great corn was super tasty and service was amazing. Today I was looking for the same experience but instead ended up with a cup of dried up room temperature corn. There was no mayonnaise and girl who served it was rushing to get back on her phone. A $10 wasted.

I got a cup of elote while visiting Old Town SD, and this location is convenient! The corn elote seems to be grilled beforehand and kept hot throughout the day, but you still get that toasted flavor. Definitely try your corn and mix it before you squeeze your lime in, though. Mine was much, much tangier than expected.
The elote is hot and ready to eat almost immediately, and the service is fast and polite. The area is also decorated beautifully from the architecture to the stones on the floor.

If you’re in Old Town San Diego and craving something truly delicious, you have to try the elote! The corn is perfectly grilled, giving it that smoky, slightly charred bite that pairs so well with the creamy, tangy mix of mayo, cotija cheese, and chili powder. A squeeze of lime adds the perfect citrusy kick.
It’s messy, flavorful, and absolutely worth every bite. Plus, the atmosphere of Old Town makes the experience even better—enjoying authentic Mexican street food while surrounded by the lively energy of the historic district is unbeatable. Definitely a must-try if you’re in the area! Located inside the old town, urban market, right next to Coffee Culture,Flor’s Farm To Table, Sushi, And Barrio Donuts All inside of a food hall with lots of tables. And lots of lounging areas. Great place to just chill.

Why do all of you use yellow corn?? Elotes and esquites are made with WHITE corn. Yellow corn is more sweet soft and doesn't taste at all good with all the typical toppings. White corn has more bite and the flavor doesn't overpower the toppings.

I found this hidden place in Old Town in a cute area and very delicious. The server was very kind. I ordered a Mango Limonada & Elote en vaso con hot Cheetos and it was so good! I want to go back and see what else is on the menu
