[RP TownTalk] new restaurant - The Royal Palm Caribbean and others

[Sue Collins]

Thanks for the review, I'll definitely give them a try.  
 
I went to the El Comalito restaurant where the Rancho Grande used to be (next to Shagge).  Had a couple of cheese, meat, and bean pupusas; They about $1.50 each, and that includes the curtido (pickled veggies) and salsa.  Good comfort food.  Had horchata (ground rice drink) with my meal; not bad, but I have to confess I like the horchata at Pollo Fiesta better.  Also had an ensalada drink, which I'd never had; it's juice with pieces of sliced apples, grapes, and other fruits.  They have mainly pupusas and a couple of other Salvadorean entres', also a few American items (burgers, etc).  Prices were reasonable, service was good, and the staff was friendly.  With the Royal Palm, that makes 2 new restaurants for the area!  
 
By the way, I was talking to a taxi driver the other day, he said he'd heard that an Indian restaurant was due to open in Hyattsville soon; anyone else know about that?  Until it does, if you're in the mood for Indian food, I'd recommend Jewel of India in the Hillandale shopping center. They have a great lunch buffet and the Washington Post gave them a fantastic review 2 weeks ago.  (and if you're like me and don't drive, you can catch the C8 bus from College Park Metro; it isn't a long ride and it goes right past the shopping center).

Just finished eating a nice Jerk Chicken from the new "Royal Palm Caribbean American Restaurant & Bakery"
which recently opened in the old Subway sandwich shop (across from the Shagga Coffee shop)
on Route One about 3 blocks south of E-W highway. 6033 Baltimore Ave, Riverdale Park, MD 20737

You choose your own sides - I had cabbage, spiced yams, dirty rice & beans with my jerk chicken -- all for about $10.
There were lots of side options and they looked both healthy and nicely spiced.

Ask for a sample of anything. I sampled their home made carrot juice - excellent!

They have a few inside tables, or get it to go.

You probably got a flyer from them in the mail.

open very late - Midnight weekdays and 3am Fri/Sat

They are planning some kind of Friday event with 35% off - you may have to pick up a
wrist band for the discount, it was not clear to me.

From http://www.facebook.com/pages/Royal-Palm/136618503136868 ...
COME OUT THIS AND EVERY FRIDAY FROM 6PM TO 2AM FOR SUMMER OUTDOOR COOKOUTS.
STOP & DINE @ THE ROYAL PALM CARIBBEAN AMERICAN RESTAURANT THIS WEEK FOR 35% OFF
DISCOUNT VIP BANDS

Hmmm - I wonder if this will create more noise problems. Hopefully not.
