    That is Elotes (on the cob) or Esquites (off the cob) (my fav)

    I don’t think the actual type of corn matters; i think it’s just boiled?

    Those are Elotes ! boil the corn first ! also in the states if you go to the mexican stores they will make them for you 🙂

    Was it street corn or canal corn? Looks like Xochimilco!

    They’re often just called elotes or elotes asados. If you are looking for a similar flavor of corn off the cob, those dishes are called esquites

    That’s just corn with seasoning on it! 🌽😂

    My Mexican coworker has been trying to get me to try this for 12 years. I dislike corn and mayo so I always tell her no.

    Pretty sure OP knows that’s an elote and is asking what kind of corn as in flint, flour, dent, pop, sweet, waxy etc.

    That is a perfectly average sized corn 😅

    The big ones are too much

    Sweet yellow corn boiled in a fuckton of butter 🤤😋

    It looks like flour corn, based on the shorter cob, and larger kernels. Generally not great for eating, but can be very good while its still young

    thats some hardcore corn, or maybe its petite corn

    If they fixture was thicker and chewy vs juicy it could be a glutinous/waxy corn??
