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...

Take-Out from Wing Dome on Pier 56

Who you calling a Dip Stick? Wing Dome's mozz sticks with a spicy coating. 

To mix things up a little and take a break from cooking dinner, I called Wing Dome on Pier 56 in Seattle to order take-out. This location recently opened and it looks like they have a nice patio right on the waterfront. Perfect for this summer when, hopefully, the virus will be long gone and we can enjoy dinner out and sunsets. Wing Dome has two other locations and they've been open since 1994.

They have special deals where they're selling cocktail kits to make at home. A lot of places are doing this with beer, wine, and liquor, since the state made it legal to do so right now. We bought the Blackberry Margarita kit for $10. It makes two cocktails and comes with two small bottles of Tequila, salt, a lime juice topper, blackberry syrup, and Margarita mix. By the time I mixed up our cocktails, got our food on plates, and took some photos, the food wasn't very hot or fresh anymore.

We chose two kinds of traditional wings. Six with BBQ sauce and six of their Bigger Badder Cheese. Those have Parmesan, lemon, and more Parmesan, and we dipped them in Bleu Cheese. We also got an order of the Dip Sticks. Wing Dome's version of Mozzarella Sticks are huge and triangle shaped. They also have a super spicy coating. I wouldn't recommend these if you don't like spicy foods. We also had two orders of fries, the Waffle Fries, and the Natural Cut Fries.

I've heard many good things about Wing Dome over the years, but I feel like this wasn't a great representation of their food since it had been sitting out a while. I look forward to dining out at their Pier 56 location later and trying the food again.
