Mariscos & Fish Entrées in Adelphi, MD
Salmon Acapulco, whole pan-fried rockfish, garlic-caper salmon and shrimp four ways. We're 6 min · 2.4 mi from Adelphi, at 8739 Flower Avenue in Silver Spring.
Adelphi comes over Riggs Road and New Hampshire Avenue, six minutes door to door. It's a neighborhood of long-tenured families and University of Maryland commuters, and El Golfo fills its missing middle: a dressed-up-enough dining room for a birthday that still prices dinner like Adelphi expects.
From Adelphi we're 6 min · 2.4 mi, which makes seafood entrées a short trip rather than a whole day's errand.
