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.

Last night I met up with some friends for dinner in Bellevue at a Japanese place called Tokyo Restaurant. I hadn't had sushi in a while so I was craving some all week leading up to going out. The sushi didn't disappoint, I loved my california roll with crab. I put some ginger on top, dipped it into some soy sauce and yum, that's good tasting sushi. Sushi was always a food I was sort of squeamish about until a year ago or so when I started getting more adventurous with my food. I grew up only eating American food like chicken strips and pepperoni pizza. Now that I'm older, there's not too many food I won't try at least once. I also ordered a favorite of mine, the fried Calamari. A couple of my friends got the Sashimi Boat, a huge platter of raw fish. I've tried raw sushi before but I'm not too crazy about it. My favorite sushi is the crab rolls. For dessert, we all got complimentary coffee jello, a small dish of coffee flavored condensed milk with cubes of coffee jello.
