Carmen’s Italian Ice Temporarily Closes Both Locations Due to Covid Concerns
In a very responsible and honest move, local Italian Ice spot Carmen’s has decided to temporarily close both locations due to an employee testing positive for Covid-19.
El Aguila has opened its second location in MoCo in a new building on the Randolph Road side of the Colesville Center. The restaurant offers Salvadoran and Tex-Mex cuisine. El Aguila’s first location is on Georgia Avenue in Silver Spring.
