Mexican street corn

I just tried Mexican-style street corn for the first time. From a food truck that visited our rural wide spot in the road in the rain. I'd long been intrigued by the idea of any kind of street food. I don't know how authentic this was. Pretty sure the corn was canned and then various things added. Wasn't bad. At $5 for a little cup it seemed high to me.

Street corn is usually mayo, some sour cream, lime and some spices. Different but good. If they pop by again maybe take a shot at soft taco. Most food trucks nail those.

I like to go to Nando's Peri Peri and get grilled chicken and grilled corn on the cob. Mmm.

@SW-User I don't know what I mean! It was simply advertised as Mexican street corn. The menu also included tacos, burritos, fried quesadillas, nachos, sopes. I had tasted all of those things except the sopes at other places. I was not really hungry so this time I limited myself to the corn.

If canned corn is used, I'm thinking it's not authentic. I'm pretty sure Mexican-style street corn is made from fresh corn.
