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.

Cocktails with Fireworks from Vons 1000 Spirits

We shared an order of their yummy fries to go with our drinks. We may just make this place a habit since the Manhattans are so cheap and the food is really tasty, too.
