Nestled in the vibrant heart of San Diego’s historic Old Town, E•’lo•te is a culinary gem, offering a mouthwatering taste of Mexico’s rich street food culture. Founded in 2016 by the dynamic duo Genaro Rodriguez and Marie Aldebert, E•’lo•te began its journey as a modest, roadside food stand in the North County area of Valley Center. With a commitment to authenticity and quality, the team has since grown and expanded their operations, opening a new location within the bustling Old Town Urban Market in early 2022.
Stepping into E•’lo•te is like being transported to a colorful and lively Mexican street scene, with the aroma of fresh roasted corn filling the air. The star of their menu is, without a doubt, the traditional elote – corn on the cob or the esquites in a cup covered in a velvety layer of crema, zesty Mexican spices, a squeeze of lime, and a generous sprinkle of Cotija cheese. This delectable dish is available on a stick for those who prefer to savor their elote on the go, or in a cup for a more leisurely dining experience.
But E•’lo•te’s culinary prowess doesn’t end there. Quench your thirst with their frequently-changing flavors of agua fresca, a refreshing Mexican beverage made with fresh fruit, water, and sugar. For those seeking a more spirited experience, E•’lo•te also serves micheladas, a zingy beer-based cocktail with tomato juice, lime, and spices. And if you’re feeling adventurous, why not add a shot of tequila to your agua fresca for an extra kick?
E•’lo•te’s unique combination of authentic flavors and vibrant atmosphere has quickly made it a must-visit destination for both locals and tourists alike. Whether you’re strolling through the charming streets of Old Town or simply craving an unforgettable taste of Mexican street cuisine, E•’lo•te is sure to satisfy your taste buds and leave you craving more. So the next time you find yourself in sunny San Diego, be sure to stop by and experience the magic of E•’lo•te for yourself.
