Rico’s Elotes – corn off the cob

February 28, 2014 By Talya Tate Boerner 15 Comments

Rico's Elotes corn off the cobThe rich, hot corn off the cob sold from the Rico’s Elotes cart in front of Tony’s Neighborhood Store (820 N. Fitzhugh) makes an incredible side dish to your next Tex-Mex meal. My stomach turned a flip flop just thinking about it. Juanita is the super friendly lady who works the Rico’s Elotes cart at Tony’s. Seriously, just chatting with Juanita is fun—she’s one of those individuals who automatically makes me feel happy even though I’m about to inhale a fat leaden treat. She shaves the steaming corn off the cob fresh to order, mixes up this heavenly concoction of mayo, butter, Cojita & Parmesan cheeses and serves it like a corn sundae. The medium size is only about $2.50. Rico's Elotes - Tony's Neighborhood Store In addition to the regular ingredients, there are other toppings available such as lemon pepper, hot sauce and lime salt. I didn’t say this concoction was healthy. I said heavenly… I’m a firm believer in (most) everything in moderation. It’s okay to go crazy occasionally, and Rico’s Elotes is just the place to make that happen. Lucky me, it’s only six blocks from my house. Closer, really.

    You had me right up to mayonnaise. I’m skeptical of mayo on corn.

    Delicious! Remember walking to and from Rico’s Elotes burns a few calories so you won’t feel quite so bad. ha ha

    Love corn on the cob, but like Gary, I’m skeptical about the mayo! What a great idea this series is, Talya.

      Thanks Corinne! I think you’d love it even with the mayo. All the ingredients mix together to form a creamy rich dish. Delish!
