Anyone know the name of that Mexican dish with corn, mayonnaise & chili sauce?

I used to get it all the time at a little stand in Aguascalientes–delicious! Not the corn on the cob with cheese–this was just a cup of corn with mayo, lime & you could add chili sauce…
It wasn’t called elote (that is just corn in Spanish) & wasn’t trolelote either… It is annoying when I can’t think of a word…Anyone else know what I’m talking about?

Hi!

I’m from Monterrey City in Mexico and yes we call it "elote". In other places they call it "trolelote" or "esquites". Maybe "esquites" is the name you’re looking for? It’s the only one I can think of besides "elote" and "trolelote".

Here are some pics of "esquites":

Anyway, they are all the same you just described: a cup of corn with mayo, lime and chili sauce. Those are the basic ingredients, but there are variations that include fresh white cheese, for example.

  2. Trolelote, If it’s not that then it’s most likely not a mexican food because from what you said, it sounds just like it.

    IDK anything else made from corn unless your talking about "Posole" which is maiz and not corn. There is a difference between Maiz and Corn right?

    Posole is kinda like soup but with maiz and you can add other things too it.

    Thats all I got.

    i’m thinking it’s basically grilled corn (can’t remember if it’s sweet corn though).

    you put your mayonnaise on top with some Parmesan cheese.
