Lomo Saltado in Wheaton, MD
The Peruvian classic — sautéed sirloin with tomato, red onion and cilantro. Named in 6 Google reviews. We're 13 min · 5.4 mi from Wheaton, at 8739 Flower Avenue in Silver Spring.
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 lomo saltado a short trip rather than a whole day's errand.
