Mariscos & Fish Entrées in Takoma Park, MD
Salmon Acapulco, whole pan-fried rockfish, garlic-caper salmon and shrimp four ways. 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 seafood entrées a short trip rather than a whole day's errand.
