Ceviche & Seafood Starters in Wheaton, MD

Wheaton has its own deep Latin food bench along Georgia Avenue, which is exactly why its diners are hard to impress — and why the ones who make the 13-minute run down to Flower Avenue for the Super Golfo fajitas or a whole pan-fried mojarra count for double. After Brookside Gardens or Wheaton Regional Park, it's the closest full-bar Latin dinner south.

From Wheaton we're 13 min · 5.4 mi, which makes ceviche a short trip rather than a whole day's errand.
