Esquites

The same bold flavors as the elote — but served in a cup. Husked corn kernels loaded with all the classic toppings.

$4

Champurrado

Warm, thick Mexican hot chocolate made with masa, piloncillo, and cinnamon. The perfect companion on a cool LA night.

$1.50

A Lincoln Heights Legend

Timoteo Flor de Nopal

Every night, a quiet parking lot on Workman Street transforms into an LA institution. Timoteo — the Corn Man — has been serving up the city's most beloved elote for more than 30 years, and the line never gets shorter.

Regulars show up before he even sets up. The atmosphere is communal, lively, and distinctly LA — a reminder that the best food is often found not in restaurants, but on the street, late at night, from someone who truly cares.
