History & Culture

The Story Behind the Dish

📍 All over Mexico📅 Pre-Hispanic corn, modern street style🌽 MX

Corn was first domesticated in southern Mexico around 9,000 years ago, and it is still the heart of Mexican food. Roasting fresh cobs over coals is one of the oldest ways to eat it.

The modern elote, slathered in mayonnaise and cheese, is sold from carts in plazas and parks all over the country, especially in the evening. Its off-the-cob cousin, esquites, is served in a cup.
