Example: street corn in Mexico; some vendors use crema but many use mayo.

All due respect is given to those of you who love mayo but I'm just not one of them.

I would suggest you use "no mayo" instead of "hold the mayo, please" - because "hold the mayo" may not be obvious to a non-native English speaker. I know what it means, but it makes literally no sense, unless you know the phrase already.
