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.

A Visit to Drip Tea for Soft Serve and Boba Tea

There's nothing like Soft Serve ice cream and Boba Tea to cheer me up. I was feeling the mid-week blues and needed a pick me up. When I saw on Drip Tea's Instagram that they had soft serve with boba pearls, I decided to head over to Capital Hill for a treat.

 I last visited in the spring and enjoyed one of their boba teas in a cute bear bottle. It was such a refreshing drink and really hit the spot. That one was the Fear of Pog. It has passion fruit, orange, guava smoothie, and mango bits. I still have the bottle and I filled it with colored beads and succulent plants for decoration in my bedroom. 

So I was looking forward to returning and trying more of Drip Tea's products. They have several flavors of soft serve. I chose the Taro and Vanilla Swirl. I added boba pearls because this is a combo I've been wanting to try. I also ordered a Monogram tea. That one has premium brown sugar tiger milk and boba. I'm glad my son helped me eat the ice cream and my hubby helped with the drink, because this ended up being a lot to consume! We loved the ice cream and the boba took it up a notch. The milk tea was also really good, especially stirred up well. I'm so glad I headed back to Drip Tea for another visit!
