Ceviche & Seafood Starters in Hyattsville, MD

Hyattsville's Route 1 Arts District has plenty of taprooms and not much table-service Latin seafood, so the run up Queens Chapel Road to El Golfo covers what the corridor can't. Fourteen minutes for salmon Acapulco and a $20 sangria pitcher is a trade the Arts District crowd keeps making.

From Hyattsville we're 14 min · 5.7 mi, which makes ceviche a short trip rather than a whole day's errand.
