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.

49th Parallel Coffee and Lucky's Doughnuts


There's just something about treating yourself to doughnuts on vacation. Calories don't seem to count as much. And in a place like Vancouver, BC, there's lots of delicious sounding options.

Nothing goes with doughnuts better than coffee, so 4th Parallel Coffee is doing things right. When you're traveling, its usually a good plan to eat at the places where the lines are. Then you know its going to be good. We visited their location on Thurlow St. They also sell doughnuts from Lucky's Doughnuts. The flavors were really unique and looked plain awesome in the case.

I went with a Cold Brew Cruller which I have no regrets about. We also shared a drip coffee with cream and sugar. The doughnut tasted just like cold brew coffee which is a flavor I'd never experienced in a doughnut before. It was big and perfect for sharing with my husband, since we'd already had breakfast. The Crullers I'd eaten in the past were dried out, but not this one.

The coffee was really high quality and you can tell they source and roast it themselves. I'm glad 49th Parallel was so close to our hotel, about a ten minute walk, so it was the perfect thing to do before checking out.
