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...

Dinner at Mioposto

The pepperoni cups on my pizza at Mioposto were perfection. 

For our wedding anniversary we decided to go out to eat. Seattle's still in Phase 1.5 because of Covid and a lot of places aren't open yet. I did a little research and found that Mioposto was opened. They have several locations in the Seattle area. This Italian spot is one we'd been wanting to try. Mioposto in Italian means "my place". We visited their Mt. Baker spot. We arrived early because we didn't want to wait for a table. Since we arrived before 5:00, there was only one other table dining and we were there for happy hour. They ask that you wear a mask when not at your table. If you don't have one, they have masks for you.

My husband and I each started with a Sidecar cocktail with Brandy. It felt so normal and right, sitting in a cute Italian restaurant and sipping a strong drink. Then we had some bread with olive oil and shared a Caesar salad. The happy hour prices were really decent and everything we ordered was from that menu. The personal sized pizzas were only $7 for 8 inch pizzas. Our boys shared a Cheese pizza, my husband chose the Margherita, and I had the Pepperoni.

For our second round of drinks, my husband had a Manhattan and I had a Hemingway Daiquiri, which was only $6. The pizzas were really fresh and authentic. My Pepperoni pizza was incredible with the little pepperoni cups. Can you say delicious? For me, the serving size was just right and I polished off mine.

This neighborhood pizzeria and bar is a spot I'd return to. Especially to take advantage of the great happy hour deals. The quality of the cocktails and pizza were spot on!



My tasty and strong Sidecar. 



My refreshing and flavorful Daiquiri.  

My husband's Manhattan was incredibly smooth. 

Our sons loved their Cheese pizza!

Pepperoni pizza is always a good idea. Their crust was really decent, too. 


You could have my heart or we could share it like the last slice.
