Item Spotlight: Elotes Placeros
Elotes Placeros starts with the freshest, juiciest ears of corn, roasted to perfection. Then, we shower them with a luscious blend of cheese, mayonnaise, and a sprinkle of chili powder. The result? A sweet, creamy, and slightly spicy flavor combination that will transport you straight to the streets of Mexico.
