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...

Dinner at Bells and Whistles in Vancouver

It's hard to say no to $2 soft serve. So we didn't. 

For a dinner out in Vancouver during our overnight trip, we chose Bells and Whistles. It was hard to decide where to dine because of all of the choices. But Bells and Whistles was really kid friendly, so that's how I made my decision. They have video games, a kid's menu, and 2 dollar soft serve on Tuesdays. And it was in fact Tuesday, so score for us. For the adults, they have a full bar and a menu with something for everyone. The vibe was very laid back, with friendly servers and long communal tables.

I started with a Rose Sangria and my husband had an Old Fashioned. My drink hit the spot because it was refreshing and full of fresh raspberries and blueberries. Our sons shared the Grilled Cheese from the kid's menu and I had the Chicken Waffle Poutine. This drool worthy dish had waffle fries, fried chicken, cheese curds, maple-parmesan crunch, and chicken gravy. It tasted just as good as it sounds and I enjoyed every bite. I also liked how the portion wasn't huge, and I was able to finish almost all of it. My husband had the Veggie Burger which was full of good stuff like an almond and chickpea patty, Green Goddess, avocado, tomato, feta cheese, and alfalfa sprouts.

Then we all shared some Strawberry soft serve with sprinkles, because, why not? It was only $2 Canadian. It's normally $3 and that's still a good deal for soft serve. This was a very fun restaurant in Vancouver to take the whole family. Everyone left full and happy and there was something cool for everyone to enjoy.
