I've heard people talk about this corn stand food stuck when they mention the Taqueria La Fondita taco truck next to it. After eating our tacos there we went next door to check this place out.They sell corn-on-the-cob, corn in a cup, and a variety of fruits in a cup. We got the hot cheetos esquite ($6.30 for a medium) which consisted of corn, mayonnaise, cheese, and hot cheetos dust. The mayonnaise really brought everything together and I liked the cheese. I would've preferred if it was in a wider cup or bowl so there was more of the hot cheetos dust because the ratios didn't match up with the corn. Also, it was definitely canned corn and not roasted but still good.There's no dedicated eating area but I imagine most people (like us) just eat in covered area next to the taco truck.

Came here for some good roasted corn in these wet winters. Seeing all the good reviews I was very excited to try it out. Its a food truck, their is another food truck as well serving mexican food, crowded with customers.Parking is not easily available. We were told that they only serve boiled corn. What a let down. Did not try anything from this place. Then why the name "Roasted Corn"?

Very fun food truck with so many varieties of street corn. I'm definitely coming back to try more.

Sooooo damn good!! Fresh fruits hit the spot! My daughter was definitely satisfied!! Ordered Frutas en Vaso, Mango con pepino, and Esquites con Takis. Definitely worth the drive on a school night. You have to check it out!

When the name says roasted corn, I expect roasted corn. We got the corn in a cup and it was not roasted. The corn tasted like canned corn; I love canned corn but it's definitely not roasted corn. It tasted ok but I wouldn't get it again. We also got the sliced mangoes and cutting so close to the peel is not cool. Thanks for the extra dietary fiber but seriously? We joked that it's easiest to be the "best roasted corn stand" because there aren't any other corn stands around...so the best of the only...?The service was friendly though, so we appreciated that. Would I come back? A firm no.

How can an elote stand be anything less than 5 stars? It's corn. A big lump with knobs. It has the juice. Really though, it's great. They have different flavorings and toppings (for example, the "Asian" was just salt). I had to go with the "Mexican" of course, with your classic mayo, cheese, chili powder and lime. It was flavorful, delicious and less than 5 dollars. Friendly staff, and right next to taqueria la fondita so you can also grab some tacos to go with it! Fantastic stand.

This place? Look, I would drive from Tacoma all the way to White Center to eat this. Often times, my cousins so drive that distance for this place. I don't know if it's the love they put in it or really putting some elbow grease because the corn here is *chef's kiss* the women that are usually working are so sweet. I love coming here because the food quality is always 10/10. Their corn is so yummy and for the price, very reasonable and affordable on my personal budget. Parking is pretty decent, though nowhere to sit. Which honestly, I don't know how you can make it across the street without bodying the whole cup.

Their mangonadas are soooo refreshing on a hot summer day! Always quick and friendly service. Prices are a little high but it's worth it, in my opinion. Support local businesses always ! Elotes are pretty good too but I prefer to come here for the fruits :). Last time I had this was 2018 and I've been thinking about it ever since. So glad to see they're still doing well.

It really is the BEST corn in the city!! When I crave elote (corn) this is the one and only spot. I've been coming here since I was in high school. Over 10 years ago when they only sold corn, and they're still making the best elote but now with some other tasty treats. My go to is "Mexican" style with mayo, cheese (Cotija-Aged Mexican Cheese), chill powder and lemon. Extra chili because I like it spicy! And in a cup so I won't ruin my outfit, only speaking by experience. Though I do prefer corn on the cob normally, I believe they use canned corn for the cup version. But with all the ingredients in a cup it's all good to me. Service is always friendly, and it is worth the wait if they have a line or lots of orders. Supporting this business makes me happiest most that I help to support my community.

Good for a late night snack! The corn was good. We got one on the cob and one in a cup. The corn on the cob was definitely more sweet than the one in the cup, but overall good snack! Service was okay nothing out of the ordinary other than it did take them about 5-10 minutes just to greet us.
