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.

He usually doesn't go for sweets, but he couldn't resist this cinnamon roll. It took us two sittings to finish it all and it was still delicious a few hours later.
