Carne Asada & Steaks in Takoma Park, MD
Charcoal-grilled marinated skirt steak with guacamole — the dish their regulars name first. 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 carne asada a short trip rather than a whole day's errand.
