Patio Dining in Wheaton, MD

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 patio dining a short trip rather than a whole day's errand.

Patio Dining done properly

The patio runs spring, summer and early fall for brunch, lunch and dinner. It's the neighborhood's warm-weather default: close enough to Sligo Creek's trail network that bikes lean on the rail while their riders work through margaritas and ceviche.

What's included

• Open spring through early fall
• Brunch, lunch and dinner service outside
• Full menu and bar on the patio
