Esquites are a popular Mexican street food made from boiled or roasted corn kernels that are then stewed with epazote, a herb with a distinct flavor and aroma, and chili for a spicy kick. Once cooked, the corn is served hot and topped with a delicious combination of mayonnaise, crema, lime juice, and chili powder, creating a perfect balance of flavors and textures that make it a favorite among locals and tourists alike.
