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...

Cheese Meats Bread

Feel like a grilled cheese? Head over to Uwajimaja and you'll find Cheese Meats Bread. I initially wanted to visit because I saw they serve a grilled cheese filled with mac and cheese. That item seemed unique and like something you can't find in many spots. But silly me, I ordered the wrong thing and ended up with just a classic grilled cheese filled with Hills Bacon. Don't get me wrong. It was tasty with that crispy bacon, lots of melted cheese and good quality bread. But its something I could have whipped up at home for a lot less.

My husband had the French Dip grilled cheese. It had the Cheese Meats Bread cheese blend, gruyere, braised beef cheeks, onion marmalade, French white, and onion broth. Each sandwich came in a box and was served with a side salad. Just be aware of the Buffalo Ranch dressing. It was so spicy that the salad was almost uneatable. I would suggest getting the Vinaigrette if you don't do spicy well. We also had the tots which came in a large Chinese take out box and were hot, salty, and crispy. We washed it all down with a bottle of good old Coca Cola.

The owners are the same people who own 8oz Burger which I've heard good things about. These guys are great at paying attention to details and using the best ingredients to bring their products up a notch. The space is really small with only a counter with five or so stools. But I loved the cheese grater light fixtures overhead. If there's no room just pick up your food and eat in the food court.

So if you're hanging out in Uwajimaja in Chinatown and don't feel like eating Asian cuisine, then Cheese Meats Bread may be just the thing to nosh on.
