"On The Best Thing I Ever Ate: On a Stick, Tyler Florence names a NYC favorite: Grilled Corn. Although Cafe Habana's known for a mean Cuban sandwich, it's just as famous for the Mexican-Style Grilled Corn smothered in mayonnaise, cotija cheese, lime and the perfect dusting of chili powder."

The Daily Meal

"Try their famous grilled Mexican corn, a cob of creamy kernels bonded together with zesty chili powder, lime, and cojita cheese. Delicious!"

Time Out

"Fire-roasted, sprinkled with chili powder and cotija cheese, and brightened with a squeeze of lime, the Mexican-style grilled cobs are creamy, crunchy and a riot of flavor."

Dorothy Reinhold

"Maybe they should rename it “Crack Corn” for its addictive properties. It’s the kind of thing foodie dreams are made of."

Tia Kim

"Grilled corn on the cob is good, but smothered in a creamy mayonnaise concoction and sprinkled with spicy chili pepper, salty Cotija cheese, and a squirt of lime, it’s amazing. Walking by Cafe Habana in the summertime, it’s hard not to stop in for some elote."

Jen Balisi

"It is so good that I affectionately call it crack corn – the tart flavors of the cheese and lime plus spicy kick from the chili powder on a sweet grilled corn on the cob are just oh so addictive."

Gayot

"There's always a wait during peak hours due to the cheap, good food---which includes an addictive grilled corn on the cob with cheese."

Rebecca Flint Marx

"We can’t, however, always find the magical fatty, spicy morass that is elote, and so Café Habana is our winner."

Joy Armstrong

"The Mexican-style grilled corn, a gooey mixture of fresh corn topped with chili powder, melted cheese and lime, is a crowd-pleasing, albeit messy, delight that comes with a cup of individually wrapped toothpicks."

Victoria Kabakian

"Well, trust me when I tell you, this corn deserves its own food group, a pedestal on which to stand. It's everything corn on the cob should be."
