Happy Hour and Dessert in Capitol Hill

  Happy Hour Street Tacos with Carne Asada and a Miami Vice from Poquitos.  Poquitos is located in Capitol Hill and they're serving up authentic Mexican cuisine and cocktails. Their happy hour deal is a good one- during Ocho hour, everything on the happy hour menu is just $8! I went with a Miami Vice, a classic Pina Colada with Strawberry. This blended cocktail was so fruity and delicious. To eat I had two Carne Asada Street Tacos and a Birria Poquitos Burrito. The Burrito was small and served with a side of Consommé sauce.

Marination Mai Kai

There's a sweet spot for Hawaiian food on Alki Beach and I got to check it out.  Marination Mai Kai serves up some delicious Kahlua Pork Sliders and authentic shaved ice with ice cream.  I was stuffed to the gills.  Plus the view of the Seattle skyline wasn't bad either.  They have a full bar and make some mean Mai Tai's- aptly named a Mai Kai which means along, on or near the sea.  I got a few pork sliders, which were the best ever, plus some Spam Macaroni Salad.  My husband ate the Fish and Chips with hand cut fries which were spot on.  We started with some Hawaiian Strawberry Shaved Ice with vanilla ice cream because we're cool like that and life is short.  Not really, it just came out before our hot food.  It actually paired well with my Mai Tai, sliders and Macaroni.  That's some tasty stuff.
