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.

Drinks and Cerviche at El Sirenito

I didn't think El Sirenito looked like much from the outside with its small non descript exterior.  Located in Georgetown, the funky and artistic neighborhood south of downtown Seattle, is next to the popular Fonda La Catrina and is owned by the same people.  But when I walked through the doors I entered into a long narrow space with a long bar on one side and tables lining the wall on the other side.  Then a large glass door led to an outdoor space that would be nice on a warm sunny day while one sipped a Margarita.  The day we went was sunny and as I sat at a table for two inside with my husband and felt the sun on my face, I felt like I'd been transported to Mexico.  El Sirenito is a tequila bar with seafood inspired dishes.  Yesterday just happened to be National Margarita Day so it was kind of perfect that I chose to get one.  They have a happy hour everyday from four to six and they're only seven bucks.  It was a classic Margarita and it did pack a punch.  Since we were headed to have dinner afterwards, we just wanted a drink and to share one plate.  We decided on the Ceviche which had rockfish, cilantro, lime, onion, radish, Serrano chili, tomato, and jicama.  It was a small serving but every bite was flavorful and like my drink, also packed a punch.  As the tables around us started to fill up I realized that many people have already discovered this little jewel in Georgetown.
