"Residents of Lincoln Heights have spent more than three decades gnawing on lusciously dressed elotes and esquites fashioned by Timoteo, called simply the “corn man” by outsiders willing to drive to the Eastside for Mexico’s coveted street snack. Timoteo’s fats of choice are mayo and Parkay squeeze-bottle margarine, to lather up elotes coated with dried Parmesan cheese, chile powder, and a squeeze of lime — the same formula goes for plates of esquites, or cups of loose corn. There’s always a line, which is part of the familial atmosphere and tradition in Lincoln Heights." - Bill Esparza
