We stopped at the Old Town Urban Market specifically to try the spot next door but we had to stop in for Elote first! We ordered a few esquites, a loaded potato and a few jarritos. Service was fast and the food was fresh. Decent price for the size. You know this spot is popular because a long line ended up forming behind us and the lady there stayed busy.

Small street with high end prices..12$ for baked potato. Gosh. Just medium sized potato’s with modest topping. Probably worth not worth than 4$..Small street vibe which is good.Limited shared seating.

Visited on a Thursday afternoon. The lady behind the counter was friendly when she took my order -Corn in Cup, light on the cheese and other toppings. She prepared my order really quick and got me on my way.The corn was yummy and a hefty amount. I took the advice of the other reviewers about taking it easy on cheese because of how salty it was.The booth is located in a cozy food court out of the way of the busy central part of Old Town -closer to the Transit Station. There is parking across the street and on the street if you can find any.Hits the spot.

Came here for thinking I was getting fire roasted corn but unfortunately it was not fire roasted. It appeared boiled and then topped off with toppings. But regardless I still enjoyed it especially with the spicy touch of hot Cheetos crumbs! Service was good and the ambiance was everything! Come during October and the town is decorated to perfection!

YUMMY!!! Service was fast and friendly. Got corn in a cup and it was PACKED! I also added hot Cheetos. Some outdoor seating available but I went for a stroll with my corn :) 10/10 would recommend!!

I ordered corn in a cup, I believe it's called esquite. It has mayo, lemon, tajin and chile... yummmThey also had corn on the cob, loaded baked potatoes, and a few other snacks.The lady who took my order was polite and since I was the only one in line it was a fast process. I would return to this cute small food court in old town San Diego.

This place was sooo yummy! They really understand when you say not too much hot sauce, as some places don't get it Lol, I ordered the elote with hot Cheetos on top, because how could I not? And it was very properly proportioned with the cheese and corn and butter, etc. really really good, and I highly recommend it if you're looking for a yummy snack while in Old Town!
Service 10/10Food 10/10I had a great experience and I am definitely returning.We ordered micheladas, an elote, and the elote in a cup.Everything was flavorful! The woman working was attentive, kind, and made sure that we didn't need anything else. Great service indeed

I recently had the pleasure of visiting Elotè in Old Town, San Diego, and it was a wonderful experience!The freshly roasted corn was a culinary delight, bursting with flavors like crema, cotija cheese, Mexican spices, tajin, lime, and even topped with Cheetos for an extra crunch. The service was quick and friendly, and I appreciated learning about how the corn was made. I enjoyed it so much that I got an extra cup to go for my husband.The Old Town Urban Market nearby was also charming, with plenty of seating. I can't wait to revisit!

Located at the Old Town Urban Market in Old Town San Diego, you find a lady spending a lot of time roasting corn. Why? Because she makes delicious corn on the cobb and corn in a cup, better known as esquite.What I am trying to say is that if you happen to be in Old Town San Diego, this place is definitely worth the visit. The food here is quite affordable as well!

The corn in a cup is really good and has a lot of flavor. My husband had a michelada and he was happy with it. He wanted a corn in a cup as well but they only had cob, they had ran out of cups. Service was good, girl was very knowledgeable atleast of what she had. The place is pretty hidden and in a pretty hidden area sharing with other businesses as well but most of them were closed and they were the only one left open. If you come to try it, dont come alone. Idid like that they were playing music and that it wasn't packed and tables were available.
