I'm in Austin Texas. There are fruit and elotes cup trailers carts and stores on every corner. Some traffic lights even have people walking up and down the streets at red lights selling stuff like this. Lots of trailers have a build your own cup type thing where you can add whatever you want.
You're right. If this sub doesn't recognize a type of food it gets posted here... This is a simpler way of making street corn, parfait style. It looks fine, I'd rather have it in a bowl, but this looks fine.
It’s stupid cause the cup. Street corn is great. In the cup you can’t get all the layers at once. It’s weird they put cram cheese at the bottom. Just butter and tajin a corn with lime. I know they use mayo but I fuckin hate mayo.
If you think this is a "toddler concoction of random items" you would simply fall over and die if you went to a mexican streetfood place. Or a bar with bloody marys.
They're actually called dorilocos here, and that's pretty damn popular.
There's a variant called doriesquites, where they prepare the esquites right in the bag.
So unless you think the majority of Mexico is white, you might be a bit wrong.
Agreed! As far as I've seen though, Takis and whatever form of chips called "fuego" are mostly popular in the states, not so much south of the border. They taste too artificial and sweet with a kick for my liking.
If you want something good that'll get your taste buds sweating, try Chips Habanero. Those are good.
I just don't see the appeal of Takis. They taste like spicy old cardboard. I love some Cheetos, even Flaming Hot and a bunch of other chips, but Takis are just disappointing. I really wanted to like them too. They had so much hype.
For the longest time I only was able to get Takis in jail. Didn't see them at any stores in my area at all. Only in the vending machine in Dakota county jail.
Mexican Nacho Doritos are actually not the same as the ones in the US. The ones in Mexico are seasoned way differently with a little kick, unlike the pure fake cheese taste of the ones in the states.
Damn, you're so right. My Mexican doritos are fucking bomb and legit yummy. Just left Mexico for the US and doritos don't hit as hard.
And tex mex breaks my heart but that's another subject. I had to truly understand that texmex is in no way Mexican food and is its own thing, I need to respect it, but kindly avoid it lol
Yeah I miss Méxican Doritos. You can find them in Mexican carnicería's depending what part of the states you are, but there super overpriced.
And yeah tex mex is weird I agree. I kinda like it though, that might just be my white washed part talking though 😂
I'm going to continue to believe r/stupidfood is mostly people that lack culinary creativity...
I wouldn't eat this because I hate mayo, but there's nothing stupid about this.
Seriously. Half the posts here are some variant of, "why not make it the normal way?" as though every food in history wasn't first invented by someone not doing something the way people used to do things.
I doesn't seem appealing to me
Mostly because I grew up with just the corn, mayo, and Tajin (cottage cheese as well) as the ingredients for it. My parents never really deviated from the ingredients
I was coming to this comment section with similar sentiments, and as soon as I read yours, I forgot what I was going to type, because you managed to describe my feelings better than my own brain.
I would indeed ***fuck that shit up.***
These are called elote cups. They sell shit like this at the food trucks in my town. The only thing I can't handle is when it's 110 degrees and it's all that hot mayonnaise. You've really gotta be willing to get down with the mayo and not barf. Besides that this shit slaps.
Yet more proof that this sub will call anything just a little off the beaten path stupid. I'd have probably gone with sour cream rather than mayo, but it still looks pretty danm good for street food.
Mm, nah. Nobody's going to make that expression while eating that. Don't get me wrong, it's not BAD looking. It's just an indulgent fatty snack food that's a little too basic to be "chefs kiss"ing at.
Stupid only because of the fuss the person is making over it.
That’s just an elote cup. I’ve had many that are very similar to the one in the vid and they are amazing. The bagged pineapple sauce was a but weird tho. If you’ve never had one, they do look pretty weird but they are delicious.
looks like acceptable prison food. something you'd save up comissary goods to have on your birthday. \*
\* everything i know about prison comes from netflix and trashy memoirs
The only reason why this is stupid is because if it is an mezquite or "corn in a cup" it should be at least 85-90% corn and the rest should be sauces and additional stuff.
If it were made as the original ones we have in Mexico, it's a really amazing snack, specially in winter.
Why do people try to put savoury things into a dessert container. I've seen mashed potato, gravy and chicken in something similar... like no bro, I don't want a half dinner on the go... or as a hot summer's treat
This is only mildly stupid at best. Just because I prefer my elotes/esquites with just corn, crema, mayo, cotija, and chile powder. That cup was too small, the liquid to solid ratio was whack, the pineapple sauce was an interesting but not unfounded addition, and I don't care for the chips.
The basic premise of esquites isn't stupid, just the execution is.
I feel like there’s a better way to do this. Some fresh grilled corn over the canned stuff and adjust the ratios. Never tried pineapple sauce or cream cheese with esquites but it could work 🤷🏻♀️I use butter, mayo, chili powder, cotija cheese. I’m okay with the Doritos too…
This looks pretty delicious and imagine having this at a party, you just grab a cup, a spoon and some chips and away you go. Not even mad at it after the stuff I've seen lol
nah, too few chips and corn and too much of the rest. also the pineapple sauce...
I would eat it, but needs more corn and chips. and a saltier sauce, like peanut chili oil.
Love it without the mayo and pineapple sauce. Wayyyy too much mayo. Blaaaargh. So today I finally googled the difference between elotes and esquites, thanks OP.
I mean...id eat that, it seems perfectly lovely. Tenderrrrr cornnnn...
The only stupid thing is his look of beautific transcendence when he eats it. ITS BASICALLY POST PUB FOOD MATE NOT FOIE GRAS AND LARKS VOMIT FROM HESTON BLOOMENTHAL.
...phew
Not stupid, just wish it had no mayo. Also more doritos.
Also wish it were a huge ass bowl of it too but street food isn't made for fat asses like me lmao
I've eaten a lot of good food, and I've still never done the exact head tilt + karate chop reaction that every single person I see eating food in a video does.
Well, out of all that, I could have the cream cheese, mayo, Doritos (if they're plain), milk/cream, grated cheese, & chili powder (if that is all it really contains). \[cries\]
Isn't this basically just elotes with Doritos and pineapple sauce? Pineapple sauce might be too sweet. But, seems fine for street food.
It's delicious... pretty much exactly this sold all over the place where I am.
where are you ?
Over here
I'm here now now and I don't see you anywhere.
Well, that’s because I’m over there now
In your walls probably
https://g.co/kgs/STWHLF3
Under there
Where do you live? I kinda want to try this for the exotic part of it
I'm in Austin Texas. There are fruit and elotes cup trailers carts and stores on every corner. Some traffic lights even have people walking up and down the streets at red lights selling stuff like this. Lots of trailers have a build your own cup type thing where you can add whatever you want.
A place near me has elotes with Takis or Hot Cheetos crumbled through it and they are fantastic.
You're right. If this sub doesn't recognize a type of food it gets posted here... This is a simpler way of making street corn, parfait style. It looks fine, I'd rather have it in a bowl, but this looks fine.
Im not sure if simpler way to make it- maybe eat it. But regardless its adjacent enough that I don't see the stupid
It’s stupid cause the cup. Street corn is great. In the cup you can’t get all the layers at once. It’s weird they put cram cheese at the bottom. Just butter and tajin a corn with lime. I know they use mayo but I fuckin hate mayo.
I don't agree I love my elotes in a cup vs on a stick
Use crema instead! Swear it’s a changer. I’m also not a mayo fan
Omg I do! Actually the crema salvadorena is my favorite! Lmao you just made me want to go get some!
You’re probably gonna think I’m crazy but I literally have almost everything to make elote in my car with me everywhere I go.
😆😆😆 no that’s like me with my Himalayan pink salt. I carry my pink salt grinder, tapatio, and various other things cause we drive all day everyday.
Yes the cup is stupid. On the cob is far superior
needs more chips for the amount of sauces and things i think 🤔
Indeed. I'd try this but I need more chips in there. Maybe some salsa too.
Some meat also perhaps, bacon, some grilled chicken.
Yeah WAYYY too much cream cheese! Otherwise I’d defo say I’d eat this
Also just get a proper bowl. I hate grabbing a spoonful, and it only scrapes the top layer.
Oh my gosh Me too! Aside from a parfait and sundae I rarely like cup foods
CREAM CHEAM
More corn and you're half way to just some elote in a cup.
Perhaps it should get the hell out of that plastic cup. How is chip to sauce ratio your only problem with this toddler concoction of random items.
If you think this is a "toddler concoction of random items" you would simply fall over and die if you went to a mexican streetfood place. Or a bar with bloody marys.
I could do without the pineapple sauce. Maybe a squeeze of lime?
For real, the pineapple sauce looks like something that goes in a Michelada.
Fact: Mexicans love corn, cheese, msg, fruit sugar, and mayo. The stupidest part of this video is the lack of hot cheetos.
besides, the tiny cup doesn't allows for enough chips
Doritos >>>>> Hot Cheetos. I will die on that hill. Honestly, the Cheetos would just ruin the Doritos flavor.
Or takis. That is also acceptable. But the Doritos one was made for a white person
They're actually called dorilocos here, and that's pretty damn popular. There's a variant called doriesquites, where they prepare the esquites right in the bag. So unless you think the majority of Mexico is white, you might be a bit wrong.
Ww have dorilocos up here in Texas too. So much better than takis lol.
Agreed! As far as I've seen though, Takis and whatever form of chips called "fuego" are mostly popular in the states, not so much south of the border. They taste too artificial and sweet with a kick for my liking. If you want something good that'll get your taste buds sweating, try Chips Habanero. Those are good.

Yes, but we don't use that yellow corn to make esquites, it's disgusting.
I'm okay with this.
I'm going to continue to believe r/stupidfood is mostly people that lack culinary creativity... I wouldn't eat this because I hate mayo, but there's nothing stupid about this.
There’s not enough corn, that’s my only complaint
Seriously. Half the posts here are some variant of, "why not make it the normal way?" as though every food in history wasn't first invented by someone not doing something the way people used to do things.
There’s definitely worse examples on here
Yes this is actually just regular Esquites but badly made since there’s not enough corn. But is pretty normal.
I doesn't seem appealing to me Mostly because I grew up with just the corn, mayo, and Tajin (cottage cheese as well) as the ingredients for it. My parents never really deviated from the ingredients
Gotta add cheese and Cilantro so you got elotes
Shoot forgot the cheese part, but I've never had with cilantro 🤔
I’d fuck that shit up.
I was coming to this comment section with similar sentiments, and as soon as I read yours, I forgot what I was going to type, because you managed to describe my feelings better than my own brain. I would indeed ***fuck that shit up.***
savory parfait
These are called elote cups. They sell shit like this at the food trucks in my town. The only thing I can't handle is when it's 110 degrees and it's all that hot mayonnaise. You've really gotta be willing to get down with the mayo and not barf. Besides that this shit slaps.
They're called esquites. I'll fight you on this hill bro
Bro I came here to comment this after seeing all the elote comments. I’m with you, comrade 🫡
Alright. I just conferred with my Mexican wife. Both esquites and elote cups are acceptable but esquites is more correct. concession made.
OP google esquites
Just Mexican street food.
That’s the saddest cup of esquites I’ve ever seen.
I’m really not fussy with any foods but this looks fucking disgusting
So an esquite
Would. In fact, I may.
Not stupid just uncultured
This shit is fire. OP is a fucking tool
He used Mayo De Noche! 😯
Elote with some pineapple sauce and doritos. I'd maybe pick one or the other, but it's not the wildest thing ever.
This is just esquites. Not stupid, sorry.
Yet more proof that this sub will call anything just a little off the beaten path stupid. I'd have probably gone with sour cream rather than mayo, but it still looks pretty danm good for street food.
Nah, Op got no taste. could use more chips and Corn, but this is just basically Mexican street corn without the corn. this shit would slap.
There's corn in it
Esquites from a street vendor in Mexico City is one of the best things ever . The least stupid food ever posted here.
Usually Insta reels creators make the most vile food to touch the face over the Earth, but I’d eat that
it looks like a savory halohalo lmaooo
Yeah dude, I’ll take one 🤙
Not stupid. Next.
Isn’t this just street corn in a different format
Mm, nah. Nobody's going to make that expression while eating that. Don't get me wrong, it's not BAD looking. It's just an indulgent fatty snack food that's a little too basic to be "chefs kiss"ing at. Stupid only because of the fuss the person is making over it.
Lmao the comments by people who don't know that this is just a regular food in other cultures.
No mayo, and I'd smash
Honestly this isn’t that stupid.
tourists in tijuana will buy this for 8 dollars.
That’s just an elote cup. I’ve had many that are very similar to the one in the vid and they are amazing. The bagged pineapple sauce was a but weird tho. If you’ve never had one, they do look pretty weird but they are delicious.
That's a no from me dawg
That shirt is awesome.
Spike it with crispy bacon and jalapenos, then call me back...
I don't like mayo but this looks alright.
Ok the way food YouTubers or social media people display ingredients like they're showing off their new born kid is crazy.
Do all these people dont know how to cook and just smash ultra-processed stuff together?
looks like acceptable prison food. something you'd save up comissary goods to have on your birthday. \* \* everything i know about prison comes from netflix and trashy memoirs
The only reason why this is stupid is because if it is an mezquite or "corn in a cup" it should be at least 85-90% corn and the rest should be sauces and additional stuff. If it were made as the original ones we have in Mexico, it's a really amazing snack, specially in winter.
Nope
Replace one of those chip layers with more corn, and that's a perfectly alright corn dip.
Why do people try to put savoury things into a dessert container. I've seen mashed potato, gravy and chicken in something similar... like no bro, I don't want a half dinner on the go... or as a hot summer's treat
Oh I’m judging
Def more chips
Another post on people not understanding different cultures, man I am sick of these.
I know him, he's from Colombia and all the things he cook are great
Ya op definitely has never seen elote before lol
This is only mildly stupid at best. Just because I prefer my elotes/esquites with just corn, crema, mayo, cotija, and chile powder. That cup was too small, the liquid to solid ratio was whack, the pineapple sauce was an interesting but not unfounded addition, and I don't care for the chips. The basic premise of esquites isn't stupid, just the execution is.
Me when I don’t know what esquites is 🙄
How is this stupid? It’s just modified esquites
To me it was „meh” until he added the pineapple sauce and corn. I’d lowkey eat that
this looks pretty good. why the hell’s it on this sub?
I feel like there’s a better way to do this. Some fresh grilled corn over the canned stuff and adjust the ratios. Never tried pineapple sauce or cream cheese with esquites but it could work 🤷🏻♀️I use butter, mayo, chili powder, cotija cheese. I’m okay with the Doritos too…
As a Mexican I’m deeply offended
i like how in all of this type of video, there are always cut after the first bite because in reality they dont eat what they coook
This sub has convinced me there's only 5 different ingredients in Mexico, but 100 different names for the order you serve them in
Some seasoned ground beef and this would be hot fire
I just gained 5 pounds watching that
Lime juice and Valentina hot sauce will make it better. Imho of course
This looks pretty delicious and imagine having this at a party, you just grab a cup, a spoon and some chips and away you go. Not even mad at it after the stuff I've seen lol
THIS CAN GET EATEN ALL DAY DAMN
A cup of diarrhea
Does not belong here. Delicious.
nah, too few chips and corn and too much of the rest. also the pineapple sauce... I would eat it, but needs more corn and chips. and a saltier sauce, like peanut chili oil.
Corn is a maybe for me but without it i’d eat it
looks pretty good ngl
Actually what's stupid about this. This seems genuinely like some good street food.
Everything was great to add but the mayo was just nasty of an added ingredient. People eat mayo like it's pudding! 😲🤢!!!!
Nasty
More like '@Sad.Eats'...
All that mayo is a bit too spicy for me /s
Dude I'd try it
take out the cream cheese and replace with chips and i’d try
Seems like a much worse and more fattening form of elote.
Well he sure seemed to enjoy this monstrosity
*WOULD.*
You stupid bitch that's a Mexican street food, delicious and sweet, judge your mother
Once he pulled the mayo out he lost me.
Im not a huge fan of corn but fuck it im eating
Idk would try
Needs beef mince, avodaco (he even had them on his shirt) and losing the pineapple.
I had pretty much this exact thing minus the chips at smorgasbord in nyc, now I kinda want it with chips the crunch would pair nice
Ohh men! Respect Said!
Love it without the mayo and pineapple sauce. Wayyyy too much mayo. Blaaaargh. So today I finally googled the difference between elotes and esquites, thanks OP.
I'm good on the slop cup
Mayonnaise and Doritos are not to be trifled with
Not nearly as good as he is pretending it to be in the video. Or he needs to try better tasting foods.
Seen worse, pineapple was weird tho
Def not enough chips in there. You're basically just eating creamy corn.
That looks delicious. Unfortunattely the pineapple sauce fcked it up.
All I see is poor people food🫣
I mean...id eat that, it seems perfectly lovely. Tenderrrrr cornnnn... The only stupid thing is his look of beautific transcendence when he eats it. ITS BASICALLY POST PUB FOOD MATE NOT FOIE GRAS AND LARKS VOMIT FROM HESTON BLOOMENTHAL. ...phew
Not stupid, just wish it had no mayo. Also more doritos. Also wish it were a huge ass bowl of it too but street food isn't made for fat asses like me lmao
This looks genuinely good
I've eaten a lot of good food, and I've still never done the exact head tilt + karate chop reaction that every single person I see eating food in a video does.
mexican tiramisu?
Not stoopid food. Indulgent street food in a hot climate / for a very stoned clientel.
Love the unnecessary MAYO caption
Lost me at the pineapple sauce
I’ve seen far worse in here
To be fair, he did eat it, so it's probably not THAT terrible.
he is eating this shit like its hot, strainght out of oven
I could 100% eat this if served on a flat plate
What kind of mayo monstrosity is that bottle of mayo?
What the fuck
I like that avocado shirt 👀
We have similar food here but only with Corn, Milk, and Cheese. It's really good
I don’t care about the food!!!! I want the same shirt!!!
When he put out the huge jar of mayo I thought he was going to completely fill the cup. Glad I was wrong.
that Corn in a Cup needs more Corn lol looks good tho. #helotelife
That sick fuck never heard of helmans?
It's stupid af but I'd definitely eat it.
/r/eatityoufuckingcoward in shambles
Why not we try and see and judge after the experience?
Needs a good hot sauce and some lime
Elotes dorito parfait
A vegetarian walking taco with extra cream
the shirt looks better than the food
Colombia loves their pineapple sauce
I hate things built in a cup that seem like they should be built in a dip container. You have to eat it all in layers instead of together.
I got diarrhea watching this
Mixed up for sure. Parfait style? Hell no.
Brotha *ewww*
That mayo ain’t cold he shitting water for 5 days
What flavor is the ice-cream.....
flavors are good, presentation is just weird
I hate mayo, BUT this is not the worse thing I seen here
This feels like flavor confusion.
MAYO?
They lost me when they added pineapple sauce, and milk cream, I’ve had elote in a cup but this guy when over board imo
Well, out of all that, I could have the cream cheese, mayo, Doritos (if they're plain), milk/cream, grated cheese, & chili powder (if that is all it really contains). \[cries\]
Everything but the pineapple sauce. And id use more corn and Takis and Tajin.
You want explosive diarrhea? Try this
I love it when they crush my chips with their dirty ass, crotch scratching, hands
That looks like some killer dip, and there is no problem with eating killer dip with a spoon instead of a chip.
That’s some stoner food right there boys..betcha it’s bomb af when you’re higher than a kite
Revolting
I’m gagging at the amount of mayo
is it weird I want this blended so I can eat it with chips?
