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.

Frelard Pizza Company

Since I'm a fan of Ethan Stowell restaurants, I was intrigued by his newish pizza place in Frelard, located between Fremont and Ballard.  He already has the Ballard Pizza Company, so Frelard Pizza Co. is the second one.  While the pizza at one of his other restaurants, Rionne XIII, is authentic and artisan, this pizza was thin crust and New York style.  We got slices and we probably should have ordered a fresh pie, but we were hungry and we had to eat, like, now.  My pepperoni slice was a little too crispy and greasy.  I guess I'm getting spoiled by some of the other pizza I've had recently.  The draw about this place is that its super kid friendly and has a kid play area.  The parents can sit around the area and eat, while keeping an eye on their offspring.  The fireplace outside was a nice touch, with tables all around, creating a relaxing ambiance.  There is a decent local and imported beer and wine to sip with your pizza.  I had a glass of hard cider and my husband had a glass of Cabernet Sauvignon.  We shared a Chickpea salad which had golden raisins, celery, lemon, extra virgin olive oil, and parsley.  It was a good, fast meal, but a little pricey for the amount of food we got.
