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.

Lunch at Tap & Barrel in Vancouver, BC

We decided to have one nice meal out during out Vancouver getaway.  We ended up at two different food courts for two meals and another meal at our cousin's house.  We wanted one sit down meal with cocktails but we had to cross our fingers that our boys behaved.   Before leaving for our trip I found Tap & Barrel online and liked what I saw on the menu.  It ended up being really kid friendly with highchairs, a kid's menu, and crayons.  The weather was warm and sunny and the line for the patio was really long.  But there was no wait inside and we were seated right away.  Our boys did okay except for when they started throwing grapes at me, but you know.  Since it was so nice out I wanted something light and fruity to sip on.  I ended up getting a White Sangria and my husband had a beer.  We started with some Poutine, a Canadian specialty.  It consists of fries covered in gravy and cheese curds.  My boys loved the Poutine and it was fun watching them try something new and have a foodie moment on vacation.  Then we ordered several appetizers to share-a soft baked pretzel, a meat and cheese plate with fruit and bread, and a Margherita Pizza.  We really liked everything but we were stuffed so we decided to go walk it off at Stanley Park.
