Way out past the Glenmont metro stop is this outstanding gourmet Mexican restaurant at Plaza Del Mercado in Silver Spring (intersection of Layhill & Bel Pre roads). They have nice burritos and chimichangas, but what really sets them apart are elegantly prepared crab & lobster appetizers, and gourmet grilled fish with mole sauce, tiny grilled cactus, and other great features. The chef is classically trained and has applied his skills to Mexican food. The staff is extraordinarily friendly. Don't miss it!
