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.

A Visit to From Milk at Southcenter

A new spot to check out at Southcenter Mall is From Milk, a premium dessert store. They sell gelato and sorbet pops, plain or with toppings. They also have Snow Milk, Parfaits, and their Signature Milks. We tried some Strawberry Snow Milk, in the small size. The small ended up being huge and was presented to me with a flourish and served on a clear plastic plate. It had fresh strawberries for days, chocolate covered strawberries, snow milk, and to top all that off, a strawberry sorbet pop. The price was pretty steep-around $8. But think about what you're getting. The four of us shared and it still felt like a lot of dessert. The Snow Milk was new to us and was sort of like shaved ice. It looked like snow, though, and was very creamy. The texture was fun and there was also a nice strawberry sauce mixed in. With this dessert, I basically had strawberries four ways. So if you're not a strawberry fan, you may want to try one of the different Snow Milk flavors. The Coffee one looks incredible, and so does the Cookies and Cream. I love how Southcenter mall keeps getting more and more great places. The surprises at this mall keep coming, and I like that. From Milk was unique and cool, and I'm so happy we stopped in and got our dessert on.
