If you're in Palmdale, David usually parks on the corner of Avenue R Frontage Road and 26th Street in Palmdale, or you can follow him on Twitter and get the latest updates. Skip to content.

He can be recognized in the streets by the blue cart that he pushes around or by his signature announcement of presence through a horn sounding similar to a duck.
Recently, his popularity has grown within Isla Vista and the University of California, Santa Barbara as more organizations and clubs on campus have hired him to aid them with their fundraisers. He primarily sells elotes, which are boiled ears of corn on a stick, and prepares them by spreading mayonnaise on the whole ear of corn and sprinkling cheese and chili powder on top of it.
Although his popularity has just recently increased, Camacho, a resident of Oxnard, California, has sold to and been involved in the Isla Vista community for the past twenty years. His first years in Isla Vista, however, were not as successful, so he only sold on specific streets and areas. However, the population has grown: UCSB was recently named a Hispanic-Serving Institution, meaning that it has a minimum of 25 percent enrolled Hispanic students.
This accomplishment for UCSB has also been one for Camacho, as he has seen his patrons, and in turn his business, grow. Furthermore, his continuing involvement with clubs and organizations on campus have also benefited him financially for they provide him with a set place to operate and sell.
Camacho lives with family members from Puebla, Mexico, who all have similar street vendor carts throughout California. It is then covered with lime juice, mayonaise, queso fresco, and chile powder. This is a delicious option for kids and adults! I remember when I was younger how I would go out to the fields with my abuelito to harvest the corn that we planted just a few months earlier.
My siblings, my cousins, and I always went willingly because we knew that the end result would be some delicious street corn followed by fresh tamales with pork.
Since arriving in the United States, I have learned to eat corn with melted butter and pepper, which makes sense since the corn here is yellow and sweet. However, in Mexico the corn is white and not sweet, which is why it is great to eat it in different ways. Since I live in the United States, I made these today with the sweeter version found here, but they are still delicious with the combination of lime, queso fresco, and chile powder.
The secret to making delicious Mexican street corn is to add the lime juice as soon as the corn is done cooking. That makes it easier to add the mayonnaise, queso fresco and chile powder next. One tip to make these easier to eat is to stick a long wooden skewers into the end so that you can eat it without getting your hands too messy.
