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...

Feed Co. Burgers

I'm always down to check out burger joints in Seattle. And luckily for me there isn't a shortage of them. So when I read that Feed Co. Burgers had opened in the Central District and that they served not only cheese curds but Huckleberry shakes, it seemed like kind of a no brainer to eat there. The service was spot on. With an "order at the counter and they'll bring your food to you" setup, they were all super helpful and friendly with our requests even after we sat down. 

If you don't want to spend ten bucks for your burger, they have a 4 oz. burger for $5. Since we wanted sides and drinks, we figured that size would be just right for my husband and I, and I could share with my boys. Everything ended up being the right portion and I feel like I didn't over do it, but I also didn't miss out on flavor. The burger ended up being a little too on the simple side, and was a little overdone and under seasoned for us. But for me, those cheese curds and huckleberry shake more than made up for it.

I don't know many people who can resist a cheese curd. Those crispy bites of heaven are hot and cheesy, with a nutty flavor and crispy outside. We also shared fries, which were hand cut and on the thicker side, which I love. But that shake, though. One sip of that and I was back in Montana, where huckleberries rule the land and bring natives to their knees with the tart and sweet flavor. But beware, the small size is tiny and you will probably need another one. So just order a large shake, you'll thank me later. I ended up ordering a small Oreo shake for my boys to share because they deserved a little treat. It tasted like perfection. The shake was thick and topped with a good amount of crushed Oreos.  My husband drank a light beer, a Pilsner, to pair with his burger. So we all left happy and satisfied. Me, dreaming of cheese curds and huckleberries and my kids, dreaming of Oreo shakes.
