There are a couple of options here. You could just skate (or sing karaoke in the back bar) late into the night, or, if you call it quits or need a break before 10 pm, you can have a lil elote nightcap at the aptly-named Best Roasted Corn. For the unfamiliar, elotes, sometimes called “Mexican street corn” (not wrong!), are grilled corn on the cob with toppings that typically include mayo, cotija cheese, and chili powder, although there’s some variation.
Best Roasted Corn makes wonderful elotes—also available in Hot Cheetos and Takis flavors, swapping the chili powder for either spicy snack dust—but is not limited to them. Other offerings include “American Corn” (with butter, salt, and pepper), “Central American Corn” (with mayo, cheese, mustard, ketchup, and chili powder), “African corn” (with lemon, salt, and chili powder), and “Asian corn” (completely unadorned). Chicharron is served a few different ways. One of my favorite things to get is the Mango con Pepino, a beautifully-cut whole mango with sour sauce and Tajin seasoning.
Beloved taco truck Taqueria La Fondita is right next door. As a vegetarian, I highly recommend their horchata—but meat eaters tend to come out with rave reviews about the food, too. It’s open until 11 pm.
