Ceviche & Seafood Starters in Adelphi, MD

Adelphi comes over Riggs Road and New Hampshire Avenue, six minutes door to door. It's a neighborhood of long-tenured families and University of Maryland commuters, and El Golfo fills its missing middle: a dressed-up-enough dining room for a birthday that still prices dinner like Adelphi expects.

From Adelphi we're 6 min · 2.4 mi, which makes ceviche a short trip rather than a whole day's errand.
