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 an authentic food experience head to A+ Hong Kong Kitchen in the International District. You'll find Cantonese cuisine on the menu with a wide variety of dishes.

I enjoyed the dumplings because the shrimp was tender, meaty, and the soup was hot. Considering how chilly Seattle is these days, it warmed me up nicely. The rice was above the standard fried rice we've had before. The serving was large and the price pretty low, too. They even have French toast with peanut butter, which we of course had to try because a couple of us have a sweet tooth. I thought that dish was unique with the addition of the peanut butter and I might try reproducing it at home. We've yet to go to Hong Kong, but this must be what the food is like there. I give this place an A+ for sure, just like the name.
