After a lot of 2015 hype that admittedly came to the rest of the city about three centuries after the neighbors, you may remember your ecstasy to finally receive that first dressed up elote. So much so in fact that you admire it first before devouring, and completely forgot to take a photo.

But being here on Workman Street and getting in line with everyone else is a joy. On a hot October night, late in the evening temperatures still above 30 Celsius as the city was experiencing a heat wave. But in the line it was complete joy, everyone full of excitement and not worried about the 30+ minute wait for their prize.

The Corn Man, Timoteo Flor de Nopal, is now doing catering, so make sure to have him at your wedding or bar mitzvah. Elotes and esquites vendors are all over the place, but there is something special about Timoteo.
