Elote man: Inspiring story behind Oak Cliff's legendary street vendor at Taqueria El Si Hay

Jose Gaytan, aka "Elote Man" is the owner of Taqueria El Si Hay on Davis Street in Oak Cliff. It's a tiny building he purchased in 1996 that's no more than 80 square feet.

Regardless of the building's size Jose's family and staff crank out big flavors from the kitchen. Customers line up for homemade street tacos, from al pastor to barbacoa, to lengua, and more.

"We make it fresh and we have to make several batches every day. I think that's what sets us apart," Gloria said.

While many devoted customers say El Si Hay has the best tacos in town this establishment has become a landmark because of its elote and the man behind it.
