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...

SLU Night Market

The SLU Night Market has something for everyone. This food event is located in South Lake Union next to Denny Park. It starts every May and is held four times until August. Each Night Market has a theme. We attended last night's Night Market and the theme was Asia. Saying it was busy would be an understatement. The lines for most of the food vendors were long and it was difficult to walk through the area. 

I really wanted a Bubble Tea light-bulb drink from Glo Tea, so I waited in line for about fifteen minutes. The line wasn't very organized and people were cutting, but when I got my drink I was a happy camper. The drink is more of a novelty drink and there wasn't much liquid inside. I had the small size Mango Tea with boba. The cool part about the drink? It lit up from a small flashing light inside the plastic bulb. This drink would be awesome to walk around with in the dark, but we left long before then. 

I was hungry and I didn't want to wait in another long line. I sipped my bubble tea and walked through the crazy crowd, searching for a food vendor with a short line. Luckily for me, Island Grilled Cheese were there and there was no line. They sell really neat and unique grilled cheese. I'd been wanting to try a rainbow colored one like I'd been seeing online. They sell one called "The Promise", which I'm assuming is a reference to when God promised to never flood the earth again and the rainbow represents that. The sandwich also came with potato chips. They used red, yellow, and blue colored cheese to make it. I was rewarded with a nice and colorful cheese pull. The grilled cheese was really cheesy and fun to eat. It was sort of weird eating colored cheese, but it tasted good anyway. 

I'm happy we checked out the event. Even thought it was really busy, I still got to try two food items that have been on my list of things to try. And I'm even more excited now for the Bite of Seattle next month. Looks like there will be more unique eats to try there!
