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...

Four Places For Hawaiian Food In Seattle


Baby, it cold outside.  It's the night before Christmas Eve and I'm listening to Christmas music and looking forward to the weekend.  But if you're dreaming of the islands and some Aloha spirit, here are four Seattle restaurants for some Hawaiian food to warm you up and satisfy. 


Marination Mai Kai
This Hawaiian spot on Alki Beach not only boasts a killer view of the water and the Seattle skyline, but the food is on point and authentic and a meal you'll never forget.  I tried the Kalua Pork Sliders, the Spam Macaroni Salad, and the Strawberry Shaved Ice.  See my full post here. 







Ma'ono

At the beginning of the year I tried brunch at Ma'ono in West Seattle and it didn't disappoint.  For some Hawaiian style goodies, some of the dishes I had were the Warm Portuguese Sweet Rolls with Nutella and the Coconut-Fruit French Toast.  The pineapple on top with the coconut shavings were so tasty and brought me back to Hawaii.  Plus I loved the coconut butter to pour over the whole thing.   See the full post here.  






goPoke

For super fresh and authentic Hawaiian poke, head to Seattle's International District to goPoke.  Try the Spicy kinds of poke if you want a kick and really want to warm up from the winter chill.  But if that's too spicy, balance it with a Pineapple Dole Whip, you know you want one.  See the full post here. 



Super Six

This friendly Hawaiian spot in Columbia City will warm your heart and satisfy your belly.  Really want to feel like you're in Hawaii?  Order a rum drink served in a pineapple.  That will do the trick and you'll almost forget its forty degrees outside.  If you like ham, try the Quesadilla which also has pineapple and cilantro.  The flavors brought me back to Hawaii for sure.  Also try the pancakes because they're served with Toasted Macadamia Butter and Haupia Syrup.  For even more flavors of Hawaii, the Hawaiian French Toast is made with a Malasada loaf, bacon, and sticky toffee syrup.  And finally, you can't sample Hawaiian cuisine without indulging in a sweet Malasada doughnut with coconut filling.  See the full post here.
