I snapped a photo of the Aguas Frescas y Mas that is now taking up entirely too much room in my grocery store’s produce department.
Since I know there are people who won’t know what the signs say, let me educate you:
Elote en Vaso is corn in a cup. No really, it’s corn in a cup upon which you can dump all manner of toppings like mayo, cheese, butter, cream, lime and so on. I’m a fan of Elote en Vaso with lime, butter and salt. Though I wouldn’t pay $1.99 for it unless it was a very large cup. Much cheaper to make at home.
Fresas con Crema is strawberries and cream. It’s not the sweet cream you might expect. It’s heavy cream and buttermilk with salt and pepper reduced down to a thick crema. Sometimes they also add lime or chili or some other spice.
Fruta Cortada is cut fruit. All the usual Mexican condiments can be added to it as well, including Crema.
Next time I am at the store, I’ll take photos of the other two sides and their menu boards for your further Mexican cuisine education. I might even buy something. Mexican fast food is tasty and healthy. Lots of fruit!
I love those mexican fruit places. All the fresh cut fruit and stuff to go with them. I don’t care for that nasty tasting lucas powder though, and the augas refrescos, if you have never tried it, try the horchata. That stuff rocks.
I have been tempted by them over and over since we moved to this neighborhood, but luckily, I only ever saw the food truck variety while I was on my way somewhere. Too much trouble to stop and get something. One in the middle of my produce department is total temptation, and I don’t doubt a day will come soon when I am just hungry enough to give in and buy something. The produce department is always my last stop, and by the time I get there, I’m tired, grumpy and hungry. :lol:
And I bet it’s corn in a cup with lime, butter and salt. I could eat my own body weight of that.
