Vegan & Vegetarian in Four Corners & Woodmoor, MD

Straight down University Boulevard from the Colesville Road intersection, this is El Golfo's closest neighborhood after its own. Woodmoor's brick colonials and the Blair High School community treat it as the default sit-down dinner — close enough that the drive is shorter than the wait for a table would be downtown.

From Four Corners & Woodmoor we're 3 min · 1 mi, which makes vegan and vegetarian dishes a short trip rather than a whole day's errand.
