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. Both food items were tasty and satisfying. My husband also had some Street Tacos and a Margarita from the happy hour menu. My sons had a Cheese Quesadilla and beans and rice. Everyone enjoyed their dinner. I first visited Poquitos in 2012, also for happy hour, and I remembered liking it then, too. It was time for a meal there again. For dessert, we walked about ten minutes west to Voodoo Doughnut . The Seattle location opened late last ye...

Last night the fam and I had dinner at the Flying Squirrel Pizza Co. in Georgetown. We ate there last year shortly after they opened, for lunch, and it was worth checking out again for dinner. On our last visit my sister-in law and my husband and I all tried their personal pizzas. But I didn't think that was a good representation of their crusts. The toppings were fresh and unique but the crust was too thick and bubbly. This time we shared a large pizza and it was perfect. The crust was thinner yet had a solid base to hold the toppings. The tomato sauce was also nice. Pretty light and not all in your face salty or spicy. It had a good amount of cheese and I liked the toppings I chose. Pineapple from Maui and artisan ham. So delish. My husband had meatballs on his side which he really liked. We started with cocktails and the Homemade Meatballs to nosh on. My husband drank a Rum Derby which had rum, lime and maple syrup and I drank a Tinnie's NYC which had bourbon. Then to finish off we all shared a piece of the Key Lime Pie. I liked the whipped cream and strawberry on top and the tartness of the pie. It was a nice and light way to end our meal of Italian food. I was impressed this visit and was glad to see the place pretty busy, too.
