Esquites are a popular Mexican street food made from corn kernels. The corn is typically boiled or roasted and then served in a cup. It is often mixed with ingredients like mayonnaise, lime juice, chili powder, and cheese, giving it a rich and flavorful taste. This dish is similar to elote, which is grilled corn on the cob, but esquites are served off the cob for easier eating. Esquites are enjoyed as a snack or side dish and are commonly found at fairs, markets, and food stalls throughout Mexico.
