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.

My family and I drove over to the Eastside to check out Tra Tea in Bellevue. They serve Vietnamese Coffee, Bubble Tea, Lemonade, and fresh Press Juices. They offer four different kinds of bottles and cups for your drink! I tried a Brown Sugar Milk Tea with Tapioca Pearls in a really cute reusable plastic carton. I've seen this on IG in L.A and NYC but I'd never seen any in Seattle. I love unique food and drinks, so I had to purchase one with my tea!

My husband chose a Vietnamese coffee in a neat can. His coffee was really strong and hit the spot. I also really enjoyed my Brown Sugar Milk Tea. It was a fun experience drinking it out of this kind of container! Their shop was really bright and I liked the clean look of the interior. The ladies working there were also really friendly and helpful. Tra Tea's location is also pretty great. They are right next to the Safeway in Bellevue and across from the mall and the park!
