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...

Lunch at Habit Burger Grill

When you want a nice burger but don't feel like paying $14 for one, check out Habit Burger Grill. The prices were way cheap for the quality of what we got. This burger chain, located near Southcenter Mall, started in California in 1969. So their motif is California style, with photos of palm trees on the wall.

Their burgers are Charbroiled and I was surprised by how tasty it was for the low price of around $4. I chose the Teriyaki Charburger. It arrived on a warm, toasty bun with grilled pineapple, teriyaki sauce, cheese, shredded lettuce, and tomato. You can also get it with caramelized onions and pickles which I went without, because I knew it would be too sloppy for me. It was pretty saucy because of the teriyaki sauce, but luckily the burgers were partly wrapped to minimize the spillage. My husband chose the Charburger and it had lettuce, caramelized onions, cheese, shredded lettuce, pickles, and mayo.

Our boys each had something from the kid's menu. One of our boys had a cheeseburger and our other son had chicken nuggets. Both meals arrived with a piece of chewy burger candy, which they both loved. Then we shared some Onion Rings and the Tempura Green Beans. Both items were crispy and nicely fried. I noticed they also have sundae's and soft serve ice cream cones. Maybe for next time, because this place could become a habit.
