Ceviche mixto of white fish, shrimp and squid in lime — plus garlic shrimp, ginger mussels and yuca con chicharrón. We're 14 min · 7.4 mi from Kensington, at 8739 Flower Avenue in Silver Spring.
Kensington's Antique Row does lunch, but dinner-and-a-show means a drive — and El Golfo is fourteen minutes down Plyers Mill and Georgia. It's become the post-antiquing dinner for couples who want the patio in summer, and the Wednesday jazz night is the same vintage-friendly speed as the town itself.
From Kensington we're 14 min · 7.4 mi, which makes ceviche a short trip rather than a whole day's errand.
