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 ConsommĂ© 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.

Brunch at Cheeky Cafe

One spot in Seattle to check out is Cheeky Café found at 1700 South Jackson St. The atmosphere was relaxed and the servers were very polite and laid back.

My husband had the Chicken Fried Steak and my kids each the Onesies-a plate with one pancake, eggs, and a slice of bacon. I had the Cheeky French Toast with eggs and bacon. The French Toast is filled with pastry cream, and your choice of either chocolate, bananas, or berries. I chose chocolate, of course, and then the French Toast is deep fried to a crisp golden brown. It reminded me of something from the fair since it was deep fried and chocolaty and I found it pretty decedent. And for me, that's what Brunch is about. A little sweet, a little savory, a little bit of booze, and voila, Brunch.
