One would think if you grew up near the border and got this regularly, you would at least have the decency to call it by the correct name. This isn’t elote. It’s esquites. Have some respect.

Mine was sooooo good and spicy ❤️

This is quick and easy! Next time, I will either use less mayonnaise, or substitute cream cheese.

This was soooo good! My husband said we are going to be eating a lot more corn in this house now. Didn’t change a thing except I let people add their own tajin or lime juice to their liking. My husband preferred it with no lime juice or tajin. My son preferred it with lime juice and I liked it best with tajin.

So easy to make. Went great on fish tacos. 100% will use again

Didn’t come out anywhere near the way I expected. Consistency was wrong, flavor wasn’t what I expected.

This recipe is AMAZING! This is only my second time having this dish. I ordered it a Mexican restaurant while we were traveling and thought, “I have to have that again!” I didn’t change anything except that I used the Mayo I am accustomed to and I cut the corn off the cob. Everything was accurately proportioned. Absolutely delicious ????

5.18.18 Just a drizzle of lime would have worked better for us. I did have some cotija cheese in the fridge (more authentic for elotes, I believe), so I did sub that for the parmesan. Cotija is probably a difficult one to find in many areas, and I think parmesan would be equally good. Full of flavor and quick and easy to make. Kelsie, thanks for sharing, we enjoyed it.
