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.

Lunch from Donburi Station in Georgetown

My husband wanted to try the newish Donburi spot down the street in Georgetown for lunch. Donburi Station has Chicken Katsu which sounded good to me, so he called in an order for pick-up. In Seattle, because of Covid-19, you can still only do takeout. This makes me sad, since we love to dine out and really miss it! Donburi is a Japanese rice bowl dish with fish, meat, vegetables, and other ingredients. He chose the Beef Sukiyaki, extra spicy. He enjoyed his food. It was savory and full of flavor and he liked how spicy it was. I wasn't in love with my Chicken Katsu. It needed more salt and the sauce was a little strong tasting. The sauce wasn't sweet enough and needed a little more soy flavor. 

It's a nice thing to be able to support our local businesses right now. But the overall vibes inside these places when I've gone to pick up my food hasn't been great. The workers look uncomfortable and not all of them have masks on, even though we as customers are encouraged to wear them. I've found that some businesses won't let you inside unless you wear a mask. This was noted on their social media pages. At Donburi Station, the cashier was a little short with me and wasn't wearing a mask. He insisted I use some of their hand sanitizer, however. Hopefully this will be all over soon, and maybe we'll even see people smiling again.
