Germantown Vaccination Site Set to Open Wednesday, 3/31
It has been over a year since we let you know about the La Gula Mexicana taking over the old Agrodolce spot in the Milestone Center in Germantown (21030 Frederick Rd Suite J).
Though Agrodolce is missed by many in the community, Diners can take solace in the fact that the new restaurant will be owned and operated by the folks who have brought you Taco Bar (in the gas station in Rio) and Ixtapalapa in Gaithersburg.
