Elote in a Cup at Casa Perez

I’ve grown quite fond of Mexican corn — aka elote, which is corn on the cob slathered in crema, coated in cotija cheese, sprinkled with cayenne, and squirted with lime juice. Several restaurants around town (Las Tortugas, Mollie Fontaine Lounge, among them) feature it on the menu, and a nice woman on Macon Road sells it from the Z Market parking lot on Friday and Saturday nights. However, there are times when my corn cravings do not coincide with normal restaurant hours, much less the nice lady’s hours in the Z Market parking lot.
