The cart's bell tells you what's for sale, not a menu board.
Corn on the cob grilled and coated with crema, cotija cheese, chili powder, and lime. Vendors often ring a bell or blow a whistle as a mobile signal to nearby streets.
Why it's made this way: Sound-based signaling lets a single mobile vendor cover several blocks without shouting or needing a fixed storefront.
