Street corn is a Mexican dish that consists of grilled corn smothered with a mixture of mayonnaise and sour cream and topped with cilantro and cotija cheese. It’s popular in Mexico and also in certain U.S. restaurants. It’s not hard to make it yourself, but you can also find variations on street corn in grocery stores. You can even find it in a dip form at Aldi.
Park Street Deli Street Corn Dip cost $3.29 for a 10-ounce container at the time of publication. The label describes this as “a delicious dip made from fire roasted corn, cilantro & red chili spices in mayonnaise & sour cream, with Monterey Jack, cotija, & Neufchatel cheese.”
This appears to be a Regular Buy, which means it should be available at Aldi all year. It is sold alongside another southwestern-themed dip: Mexicali, which includes various peppers and onions, spices, mayo, sour cream, and cheese.
If you’re watching out for allergens, this street corn dip contains egg and milk.

This dip was a hit in my house. It’s got some kick to it, but it’s not overly spicy. It’s flavorful and goes great with tortilla chips, but you could also serve it with crackers or cut veggies. It’s a fairly smooth dip aside from the corn. The corn kernels are on the chewier side because they’ve been marinating in the dip, but otherwise this is a fantastic dip that’s great as an appetizer or side item for your next taco night. One container goes quickly, so you might want to buy extra.
The Verdict:
Park Street Deli Street Corn Dip consists of fire roasted corn, cilantro, spices, mayo, sour cream, and various cheeses. It goes great with tortilla chips, crackers, pita bread, veggies, or whatever you fancy. Highly recommended.
This sounds like I’ll like it a lot. Thank you for sharing, and thank you for the link to Foolproof Recipe’s street corn recipe!
Pro tip: add about half a can of drained canned corn to this dip, gives more texture, flavor, body. Not sure, but creamed corn might be a good addition as well.
Great idea!
Very good tip-thanks!
Plus it help lower the crazy amount of calories and fat.
Delicious. A little tangy, but this is offset by sweetness of the corn. Good with chips and pretzels. And on bagels.
Do you recommend serving it chilled, warmed or room temp?
We always serve it cold right out of the fridge. The container doesn’t say anything about heating it.
I tried it heated up in the microwave and it brought it to a whole other level! I would say its great either way but warm was amazing!
