There are several places in Aurora that offer ELOTES outside of grocery stores and even an elote vendor driver but nothing compares to Elotes Gomez, just keep in mind it’s cash only. four words, best elotes in town. 5; los mejores elotes en aurora!

Damn I love this place! Despite the fact that they don’t take cash and have a very limited vegetarian selection, I just can’t help but somehow end up stuffed whenever I stop by here! This little shop is located across from St. Nicholas Church in Atown, kind of tucked away in a neighborhood on the near East side of downtown Aurora. I always go here with girls from my work during lunch, and have tried a lot of things. they make these awesome deserts called either mangolada or mangolasa.idk. Typically they’re made with mango sorbet but last time I tried one of these with the strawberry, and it was amazingly refreshing. In the summer they offer a selection of aqua frescas, served out of giant glass drums. I’ve had the pina, watermelon and strawberry and never been disappointed, although pina was my favorite! I usually get elotes as well, which come in several sizes ranging from little baby cups to cups the size of a typical medium drink. Basically, it’s a cup of corn with all the fixings, mayo, cheese, chile… mmm. so good! The people working there are really nice as well. The other things I’ve tried here include nachos and a torta de frijoles. The torta was good, although kind of falling apart when I got back to work. I like the pan a little more crunchy and thick but it’s still delicious. They pack the bread with onions, tomato, avocado, crema y mas. The nachos were a little soupy(too much cheese) and weren’t packed with as many ingredients as places like Jalisco or Taqueria El Tio. They also offer a large selection of Mexican treats such as chips, candy, and breads. My favorite things here are definitely the cold treats and the elotes but I doubt you’d be disappointed in any selection you make here.

This little shop opened about a year ago after it was vacant for a while. It used to be a small Mexican grocery store and now it’s a snack shop. It’s small and tends to get crowded on weekends because of everyone going to church(it’s located right across the street from Saint Nicholas Church). The parking situation is terrible on the weekends, it’s a good thing I live right around the corner. They have a tiny parking lot, only about 3 cars fit at a time but there’s street parking available. They’re specialty is corn on the cobb or in a cup. Theyre delish in a cup with all the fixins. They also have everything from ice cream to pork rinds to tacos and other Mexican snack foods. They sell candy too. If you don’t speak Spanish then it might be difficult to communicate unless you speak to one of the younger employees. The service is super friendly and they treat everyone like family. The snacks are awesome and cheap. They’re strictly cash only but there’s an ATM inside if you don’t have cash. Everyone should try this place at least once. However, it’d be best to come during the week because of the madhouse it turns into after mass is over.
