Enchiladas & Chile Rellenos in Chevy Chase, MD
Red-and-green topped enchiladas, a creamy seafood version, and egg-battered chile rellenos. We're 15 min · 5.9 mi from Chevy Chase, at 8739 Flower Avenue in Silver Spring.
East-West Highway connects Chevy Chase to Flower Avenue in a straight fifteen-minute shot. It's the reverse commute from white-tablecloth country: Chevy Chase comes east for the thing its own corridor doesn't have — pupusas made to order, a $20 sangria pitcher, and a band on Wednesday with no cover story required.
From Chevy Chase we're 15 min · 5.9 mi, which makes enchiladas a short trip rather than a whole day's errand.
