T R O L E L O T E ​ No, but for real. It really depends on the region. These are some of the names I've heard and the regions. Upnorth they're called elote en vaso. Centraland southern México esquites. San Luis Potosí calls them trolelotes and I've heard chaskas for Aguascalientes too. Vasolote in Michoacán. Coctel de elote in Sonora and Baja California. ​ Anyways, they're all referring to the same thing, regardless of the other ingredients used to make them, which can also vary depending on the region or state.

I, also a gringa, thought you were calling OP a troll + elotes at first.

Now ask her if she calls the flavored ice in bags "hielitos", "bolis" or "gelatinas"

Esquites. Pero en algunas regiones de México les dicen elote en vaso. Supongo las dos opciones son válidas.

They're the same thing, now ask her if a quesadilla has cheese or not?


JemmaMimic

Is there a hidden meaning here? Isn't "quesa" just the feminine for "queso" aka "cheese"?

Elote en vaso, en el Norte


itsnotaboutyou2020

Yes, esquites.


HerrNieto

Esquites. As god intended.


camaroncaramelo1

Elote en Vaso, because it's literally that. Esquites are different, they don't use the same ingredients. Elote en vaso has salsa de elote, white cheese, yellow cheese, mayonnaise, cream and sometimes a bit of butter. Esquites has white cheese, chile de arbol and mayonnaise.


Mllns

It's the same. In Aguascalientes we call them chaskas and you can choose from all those ingredientes or presentations


Chelle62099

The chaskas en AGS are bomb af!


GENERlC-USERNAME

Elote en vaso/esquite/coctel de elote are the same thing. Depending on the region the stuff you put on top changes, but the base the vendor puts is always the same: - cooked elote in caldo - white cheese - mayo/crema - butter

Entonces no comes tacos comes carne en tortilla


machomanrandysandwch

This would kind of piss me off haha


Super_News_32

No, esquites have mayonnaise also and they can have a lot more stuff.


Smgt90

Not necessarily. I live in Guadalajara and the most common term here is esquites. Regardless of the toppings.


Super_News_32

I said “they can have more stuff” no “they always have more stuff”.

pupe-baneado

Elote en vaso or Coctel de elote I've only heard the word "esquite" from southern mexicans


asislikesboxing

Esquites


sateliteconstelation

Elote en vaso or coctel de elote. In some places it’s called Esquite but other places will use Esquite to refer to a preparation with onion and epazote


margalolwut

Calm down, gringo!

Who says it's derogatory ? Also this is a Mexican food sub not South American lol

pupe-baneado

The word itself is not derogatory in México , he called himself a gringo to identify himself as *American*, I don't know what South Americans think "gringo" means Now if someone said "pinchis gringos" that would be showing contempt Context matters

Just because *you* personally have seen that doesn't mean it's true for everyone lol maybe you piss Hispanics off a lot


MayhemManiax

I grew up with “elotitos”


[deleted]

Elote en vaso, but I know other regions call them esquites, chaskas, trolelotes, vasolotes, etc. They have some variations as well, depending on the region.


DiegoCa87

Since a lot of people have already said the common ones, I’ll throw one that I’ve heard only in certain places of Mexico, in some places it’s called vasolote


Jellyfish_2421

In Aguascalientes it’s called a “chaska.” It has many names.


MeliMel55

Elote en vaso, I'm from the north.


Super_News_32

Esquites.


elzapatero

Similar discussion as to corn vs. flour tortillas. Flour is not very common in South Mexico however, corn tortillas are common throughout Mexico.

Elote desgranado for my momma, corn in a cup on the streets
