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...

Happy Hour at 2120

Date night for my husband and I was spent at 2120, the new restaurant on 6th Ave, located next to the Amazon Spheres. We sat inside, in the bar, and tried some appetizers to share from the happy hour menu. I started with a glass of the house punch, for $5, which changes regularly. That evening, the punch was a mango and peach Sangria flavor. It wasn't overly sweet like I envisioned it would be, and was the perfect cocktail to drink before our dishes arrived. The punch was a vibrant orange color and garnished with a pretty flower. My husband sipped a glass of red wine, a D2. It's very smooth and full bodied and is his favorite wine. When we go out and he sees it on the menu, he usually orders it. To eat, we shared the Frites, the Avocado Toast, the Chicken Wings, and the Kale Salad. The Frites were perfectly salty and were served with Aioli and Ketchup. The Kale Salad was very light and cleared our palates well. The wings had a poplano-agave sauce and were topped with pickled heirloom carrots and spring onion. The Avocado Toast was fun to try because of how popular and Instagram friendly it is. 2120's had campagnola, aioli, avocado, and lime. It's always inspiring to try new spots and the location of 2120 was pretty sweet being next to the Spheres and being surrounded by all the new skyscrapers in downtown. That's all I need-amazing food and architecture and I'll be happy.
