Elote Restaurant

Large portions!! They are very generous with proteins, toppings, and sauces. Elote was delicious. I ordered the Elote Bowl with Carne Asada. My partner ordered the Elote Quesadilla with Adobada. That was the thickest quesadilla I’ve ever seen and my bowl was fully loaded. The dining room had some cool art work. Folding table and chairs. Good for the food trucks I saw they have out back on the weekends. A little cold so dress warm during this time of year! We found a game of Candy Land on the shelf so we enjoyed playing a few rounds of that while eating - it was a good time! We might come hang out with a game of our own next time!

I tried the salad here and was pretty impressed. Partly my fault being a first time here. I added guacamole when they offered but they added so much that it was basically a small bowl of lettuce and spinach with a ton of guac. The tofu was just plain so didn't really add any flavor. Service was friendly and didn't take very long. But ambiance was just a bunch of folding tables. Though there was some art on the walks. Would like to try again with some actual elote.

I’m in love! Simple menu, and they have the option of tofu! Ingredients are fresh. I’m watching her chop the cucumbers now. I ordered the corn and the bowl. I think I have three meals worth of food. Grateful for delicious leftovers. Considering it’s three meals, it makes it really inexpensive. Space has great energy. Service is excellent. Big space with some TVs if you have the kiddos with you. Beautiful paintings. The place makes me happy 😊

This restaurant is spacious, colorful, and has 2 tvs. I dont remember if they serve beer, but they have glass bottle beverages and agua Fresca. It's a fun twist on a taqueria... we don't have anything similar to this where we live. The esquite cups are delicious, and you can taste that the corn has been roasted. In our pictures, the plate on the left is a baked potato (which was my favorite) and on the right was the fries. The plate by itself is a bowl, although there are options to add veggies which I really liked.

First time visit. And nothing short of amazing! I ordered two burritos and corn in a cup. The burritos are giant and they are generous with the protein. You build your own burrito and they have a wide variety of add-ons. You can also customize the corn in the cup with a variety of seasoning salts, spices or sauces. The roasted corn was fresh, sweet, and tasty. Staff was wonderfully friendly and informative through the process.

All with the theme of the street snack corn, you can choose your base, protein and toppings. Bowls, burritos, tacos, fries, baked potatoes - so many options! We got carne asada on a bowl and adobada in a burrito, and stuffed them with everything. Their meats were so good and flavorful, and all the ingredients fresh. For $9-$10, you get all the toppings you want and they don't skimp. Great value.

Accessibility: there is one accessible/handicap parking spot in front of the building and the ground to get from the parking lot into the building is all flat ground. The front entrance is a pull door but it was propped open when I came which is nice! No lights in the parking lot around sunset time...maybe some come on later but not when I came so it was dark in the lot. There is seating inside and outside with moveable chairs and they have a single men's and single women's bathroom inside the restaurant (back right corner). Experience: upon walking in, it's really big and spacious which is nice to have space from other people, and the staff are super nice and welcoming. I got a free burrito because of this yelp event but I also ordered and paid for a separate meal (a quesadilla). The food was a 4/5 on taste I would say from all the places I've tried in North County. The horchata and bottled drinks tasted great! The horchata really tasted like it came from Mexico; it had a really good taste that no other place in North County has. Yum! Next time I will definitely try the Elote itself! Price: 11 dollars for one quesadilla, 4 dollars for a glass bottled drink and 2 dollars I think for horchata. They are dog friendly and they have veggie options with tofu on the menu!

Hidden gem in Escondido! When I walked in the first thing I saw was Banksy-style art on the walls, which didn't fit what I expected at all. Neither did the food, as I guess I was expecting another 'Bertos style burrito place. Instead, it was much different in a good way! There is corn on the cob, corn in a cup, tacos, burritos, bowls, and carne, pollo, or carnitas. And the smothered baked potato is amazing! The ingredients are all fresh, and prepared right there by hand. I've been back more than a few times, and am still very impressed with the work they put into making everything fresh The business is owned and operated by a local family, and their efforts to make a good product are obvious. Give it a try, and enjoy!
