Enchiladas & Chile Rellenos in Takoma Park, MD
Red-and-green topped enchiladas, a creamy seafood version, and egg-battered chile rellenos. We're 5 min · 1.8 mi from Takoma Park, at 8739 Flower Avenue in Silver Spring.
Flower Avenue runs straight out of Takoma Park to El Golfo's door, so for the bungalows off Carroll and Philadelphia Avenues this is nearly a walk. Takoma Park's own dining tilts café-and-co-op; when it wants a full bar, a sizzling platter and a band on a Wednesday, it heads up Flower.
From Takoma Park we're 5 min · 1.8 mi, which makes enchiladas a short trip rather than a whole day's errand.
