    The Hot Cheeto Elote in a cup
    'Stephii R.

    Mixed feelings because I feel I was overcharged. I really wanted corn in a cup and since I'm no longer in LA, street venders are very difficult to find. I found this spot Yelp and I seen them on insta so I decided to give them a try. From the start it's a small stand and it gives you a hardworking family vibe. The only difficulty I have is ... I ordered a hot Cheeto corn in a cup and a Selena drink... and my total came to $17. The drink said $5 so... the corn in the cup was really $12 ? I think that's pretty steep, even considering they're hard to come by. I got here like at 7:54pm and left at 8:10pm, looks like a one man show, so there is a bit of wait. But the owner I think he is, personally hands you you your food and thanks you for shopping with them so that's very humble and nice. Ps, the street is small and parking is a big tough.

    Current menu! The Vegan Elote runs out quickly so don't wait too late in the night to get it or you'll be out of luck.

    Went here on a whim because I wanted something easy to eat without hitting up drive thru; yo this place is YUMMY. I got my roommate the OG and I got myself the Mermaid. Technically they're the same thing just one is in pink/blue/glitter; but I LOVE eating fun looking food ‍ I'm looking forward to coming here again!

    New location
    Marisa M.

    I'm sooooo glad I finally found Elote Locos!! I went to their old location on Highland and had no idea that they had moved. So I looked them up on IG and found their new address and I decided to take my bf there on a spur of the moment. When we got there, the set up was outside, but you can tell the owner is hustling to get his store up and fixed to open business indoors. I can't wait till he finally has a grand opening!! For now you can still get elote but they're very minimal on what they had like only the OG, Hot Cheeto, and Selena. I didn't wanna be messy so I got esquite (elote in a cup) to go. The parking area isn't great but if you park a block away it's nice to take a stroll down the neighborhood and make a quick stop at elote loco. I highly recommend this place for sure

    Hot Cheetos corn cup
    Brianna M.

    DELICIOUS!!! Very awesome service! And worth the wait! The hot Cheetos tasted fresh and not stale and flavorful! I couldn't take a pic of my bf corn but he loved it too! They serve both cup and on a stick!

    OG Elote x2
    Dom M.

    Found this little gem by pure chance! It's a small set up but comes with bold flavor! If you're looking for a stop to get your fix of Elote on or off the Cobb, this is the spot. Great customer service and great prices.

    The Hot Cheeto Elote
    Elif A.

    Got to try their Hot Cheeto Elote at one of their pop ups and it was DELICIOUS!! You can find their location on instagram, and the owner is so kind and friendly. Want to try the Selena next time with purple mayo and glitter

    Manny!

    We hired Manny and his lovely wife to cater Elote's at our wedding in Lakeside. Even with the wedding being a week ago, I am STILL getting messages and being told by our guests how amazing the elotes were and what an awesome idea it was. Their tent was super sick and the guests appreciated the fun vibe and many toppings to choose from. The price was super reasonable, and Manny made it easy from communication, to payment and to setting up the day of. I 100 percent recommend hiring them for your event for something everyone will enjoy and talk about forever to come!!!

    Amor Horchata

    Sooooo so good. I got the hot Cheetos elote and the Valentine's Day horchata (amor horchata). Both were super yummy, and portions were nice especially considering the price. The guy who was working (owner I believe) was welcoming and kind. With that being said, I'll definitely be back. Just know, only cash and Venmo are accepted!

    Bidi bidi bomb bomb horchata and OG corn in a cup
    Gladys C.

    I can't think of a better place to get my elote and horchata fix! This time I ordered the OG but I normally get their hot Cheeto elote. Manny was very friendly which makes coming to this place even better. Both were made just right and definitely hit the spot!

    vegan and hot cheetos
    Naomi N.

    First times here! But will definitely be back for more! The vegan elote was bomb.com the crushed cashew was a nice touch for the cheese topping my daughter opted for the hot Cheetos which she said could have been spicier but this place is in her top two! Oh and can't forget the BLUE horchata.. didn't take a picture because it was that tasty! Thank you!

    Hot Cheetos elote loco!
    Christina N.

    The elote and Horchata were delicious! I can't wait to go back. This location had take out due to COVID and accepted Venmo, since cash isn't allowed. I will be going back weekly!

    Best elote hands down in san deigo

On to the "meat and potatoes". I had the MOS Burger; mushrooms, onions and Swiss. Very no-nonsense burger with flavor bursting with every bite. Ordered a side of tots with it. Yeah, tots are pretty standard and these awesome spuds were no different. Not over fried or over greasy which leads me to the star of the show for me. Brr Grr Stix. Just wow. Panko crusted ground beef with pickles in the mix. Like the tots, the stix were fried to perfection. Being that they're deep fried I was expecting a marginal amount of grease but I was mistaken. Each bite was light and flavorful. The sauce was a great compliment to the stix. Overall a great experience and I can't wait to go back to work my way down the menu. BRR GRR IS GRRRRRReat!

Tacos are often difficult to eat while walking or without getting messy but this rolled taco concept allows for you to eat the flavors of a taco with the convenience of a cup that catches everything. It was like a taquito or egg roll atop the vegetables and sauce. It was enjoyable and the tortilla was crispy and not too oily. The product is visually appetizing and the vegetables were nicely shredded thin which made it texturally enjoyable. The bad: There was a credit card charge fee. The interesting: For vegetarians they offer a potato filling option.

So, of courses I have to come and support that. The two women that run this place are some really cool chicks. They're boss girl material and it's what this industry needs. The service is impecable and you are never in a dull space. Now let's talk what most of you are here for.... THE FOOD. The taquitos in itself are amazing. The perfect crunch to flavor ratio. The freshness in every bite is what I look forward to when searching for a spot to eat. Although this place only does events, I do look forward to getting them for one of our family parties to cater because they're that good. So much flavor for your buck. They also have fresh drinks. Cucumber lime is definitely one of my favorite flavors, but these ladies know what they're doing when it comes to agua frescas! The perfect amount of sweetness and of course, the freshness beats everything. I sure hope that this place gets enough traction to maybe open up a hole in the wall. Looking forward to their next event... Good luck ladies! Thank you for your amazing food and drinks! Keep it up!!! Also, their logo is pretty badass!
