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 at Paddy Coyne's


                        Guinness BBQ Chicken Tenders from Paddy Coynes Irish Pub in Bellevue!  

We checked out Paddy Coyne's for a late Sunday lunch. I started with a Mimosa and my husband had a Bloody Mary. They have a kid's menu and they do serve breakfast until 2 pm on the weekends. One of my boys had the breakfast selection which came with two eggs, Sourdough toast, Irish red potatoes, and either bacon or sausage. My other son had a Grilled Cheese Sandwich. My husband had Fish and Chips and I selected the Guinness BBQ Chicken Tenders with Bleu Cheese. 

They were perfectly saucy and a little bit spicy. Everyone loved their food and we even saved room for dessert. My son chose a kid's Ice Cream Sundae and the rest of us shared the Raspberry Cheesecake Chimichanga. It arrived with a scoop of vanilla ice cream with Raspberry Sauce and looked too good to pass up. So we indulged and really enjoyed our Sunday Fun Day!
