My wife's family lives in the Rio Grand Valley (McAllen area) and everytime we go she loves to indulge in "elotes" (Spanish for corn) in a cup but unfortunately up here in North TX area we haven't found any good ones yet. She specifically misses the white corn (everywhere here uses yellow corn). Does anyone know of some good places that serve elotes with white corn?

Probably need to head south..... Fuel City in Dallas normally has a vendor in front of the taco window. This is more or less South/South East of downtown Dallas on Industrial with cross street about Renuion. Fun place..... great tacos too.

The elotes at Fuel City are yellow corn, and they're made with frozen corn from a bag. I mean, they're edible, but for someone searching out a great elotes cup they will be a letdown. El Si Hay in Oak Cliff has a fantastic cart, but they're still made w/ grilled yellow corn.

I like various corn preparations but the yellow v. white thing really throws me. The only difference between yellow and white corn is that yellow corn has a bit more beta carotene which yields a little more vitamin A - literally nothing else. A&M has done analysis, taste tests, cooking tests etc. save color white and yellow are virtually identical.

The difference isn't like Budweiser v. Coors but like one proper can of Coors v. another proper can of Coors from the same 6-pack. Literally no one can taste any difference.
