Corn Man — Restaurant in Los Angeles

MÉXICO 🇲🇽 Eat the World LA review: After a lot of 2015 hype that admittedly came to the rest of us about three centuries after the neighbors, I was ecstatic to finally receive my dressed up elote. So much so in fact that I admired it and devoured it, and completely forgot to take a photo. Those were the days before Instagram (for me) and before living in Los Angeles, documenting each dish did not happen with such frequency. ° But being here on Workman Street and getting in line with everyone else was a joy. On that October night, late in the evening temperatures were 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...

We went out and got corn last night! I didn't know this was a thing, but there is a man who sets up a little stall and sells street corn at night! Loaded with cheese and chili and lime if you so please. You can have it both on the cob and in a bowl, but I chose a bowl this time because I didn't want to make such a mess. He's there every single day from 11:15pm to 3 in the morning, but there was a line before he even arrived! We got there at about 11:10 and he was a little late so he wasn't finished setting up till about 11:35. There was already a line when we got there and it just kept getting bigger. So keep in mind that there will most likely be a wait. We ended up getting our corn at about 12:30, but he was very friendly and loaded up our bowls of corn. Well worth the wait! The dish was messy...

Corn Man is hands-down the most delicious corn I have ever had! Corn on the cob or in a cup is amazing! Always hot, great portions, servings and price. The only reason I gave him 4 stars instead of 5 is because of the way he runs his business. The lines are ridiculously long (1 hour + wait for more) and he does not put a 2nd person to serve. It's not convenient for the customers to have to endure those lines for corn! The other problem is that even though he has no overhead, and is making a killing nightly, he doesn't invest in 2 trashcans around the parking lot to keep the area clean. On any night that you go, you will find the parking lot full of trash from his customers strewn all over! That seems rude, inconsiderate and disrespectful to other businesses and residents of the area. ...
