Enchiladas & Chile Rellenos in Silver Spring, MD
Red-and-green topped enchiladas, a creamy seafood version, and egg-battered chile rellenos. We're 5 min · 1.6 mi from downtown from Silver Spring, at 8739 Flower Avenue in Silver Spring.
El Golfo sits at 8739 Flower Avenue in the Long Branch end of Silver Spring, five minutes east of the Ellsworth Drive crowds downtown. Flower Avenue is the quieter restaurant row — El Gavilan is two doors up at 8805 — and the lot beside the building holds 30 to 40 cars, which downtown Silver Spring cannot say about anything.
From Silver Spring we're 5 min · 1.6 mi from downtown, which makes enchiladas a short trip rather than a whole day's errand.
