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...

Trying Mochi Donuts at Mochinut in SLU

 

A S'more Mochi Donut from Mochinut in SLU. 

If you're looking for unique, delicious, and pretty donuts, look no further than Mochinut. Mochi donuts are donuts that originated from Hawaii. They're a combination of American Donuts and Japanese Mochi. They're popular for their shape and chewy texture. They use Rice flour which makes the donuts stretchy and chewy. At Mochinut, they make theirs with eight connected balls, creating a fun and unique shape of donut. 

When I visited in the evening, a few hours before they closed, I was worried they'd be out of donuts. But no, they just keep making more and more. I saw trays of fresh donuts, ready to purchase and devour. They had six flavors to choose from. And a half dozen is $16, which is what my family bought. We chose two Dark Chocolate S'mores, a Belgian White Chocolate, a Raspberry, and the Korean Churro. 

Right now, there's no indoor dining offered there, so we took our bright yellow box of donuts outside to one of the benches in front of the building. The dark chocolate donut was a little messy because the chocolate had just been poured on top. These donuts were super fresh for 6 pm! I had a little impromptu photoshoot while my family started eating theirs. I got to try the Dark Chocolate S'mores and the Korean Churro. The chocolate one was my favorite and I loved the two Teddy Grahams on top. These mochi donuts are so fun to eat. 

If you ever get a chance to try these unique donuts, do it! The ones at Mochinut exceeded our expectations and now I can see why they were so busy when they originally opened.
