old town gaithersburg

Old Town is The El Centro of Gaithersburg, Maryland! It is where you can get Pupusas to eat, Horchata to drink & latinos-for-hire. It's a great place to explore on foot....just make sure you bring some pepper spray or equivalent if you plan to do so at night (not recommended). It's a wonderful place to people watch, get your haircut and eat Latin American cuisine!
