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.

You'll find super fast pizza really done right at Mod Pizza. It was cheap, fast and really decent pizza that I'm still thinking about the next day. The format is like fast food where you order at the counter but they make your pizza in a wood fired oven and its really thin so it bakes fast. I love thin crust because I want my toppings to stand out and not be hidden by too much bread. I meant to order the Mad Dog but ended up with something with mushrooms. They made me a new pizza right away at no charge. Mine had pepperoni, sausage and meatballs. When they were plating my husband's pizza, a little fell off the plate so they also made him another pizza. Lucky guy, he ended up with two BBQ Chicken pizzas, which is called the Caspian. He devoured both of them with a Manny's beer which is on top. The sad part about our meal was my red wine. There was only two ounces in the cup. I don't know what's going on there and I hope it was a mistake. Talk about a tease. There were about three sips of wine and I hope that's not their standard pour. But besides that, I loved the pizza and the costumer service!
