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.

Dinner at Fire on the Mountain in Portland

We had one dinner during our overnight visit to Portland. We wanted something casual and kid-friendly since our three year old twins were with us. So Fire On The Mountain looked like just the right spot for us. Established in 2005, this eclectic and cool wing spot was a fun place to eat. My husband loves wings and these days, I'm into them, too.

Like many of the food spots in Portland, there was a line almost out the door. When entering, you wait in line to pay and order at the counter. Then they bring you your food and drinks. We ordered corn dogs and fries for our boys, and my husband and I split some buffalo wings and fries. The large fries turned out to be gigantic and we didn't even come close to finishing them. My husband drank a Rainer Beer and I drank a local hard Cider. We both really liked the chicken wings. They had the perfect amount of heat, and they were crispy on the outside. They were also covered in just the right amount of sauce.

For dessert, I couldn't resist getting an order of the Deep Fried Oreos. Because we were on vacation, I thought, why not? It seemed like an overindulgence but man, they were good. Deep fried on the outside, with an Oreo inside and topped with powdered sugar. We took them to go, and I ate them on the way back to the hotel. That's good stuff right there.
