Elote Man, comes from my best memories as a kid hearing the horn coming down the street and imagining the taste of durritos and an elote. For me, the name elote man is my duality of being Mexican American, and wanting to express my appreciation of both cultures through my pieces. Elote man is culture and tradition, but it’s also about creating a community of all ages who can bond over and enjoy something i made. Elote Man is also meant to bring my and other people’s similar childhood to a physical memory like a pciture. I see an Elotero/Elotera as someone who serves the community, someone who as a child, put prices aside for the happiness of their people. At the same time, they make memories and smiles for all the people who hear the sound of their horn when they’re passing by. Elote Man does not discriminate or push away anyone willing to show love.
