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...

Trying Huckleberry Items at Huckleberry Square

 I love to eat huckleberries. Every time I have them, they taste like home. "Home" being Montana, where I grew up. So when I see huckleberry menu items I always order them. Huckleberry Square is located in Burien, WA and they've been opened since 1979. I heard about this place years ago, but never checked it out. 

Then two weeks ago, I visited Treat Cookies in downtown Burien, and we happened to drive by Huckleberry Square. A quick look at their menu online and I knew we'd have to eat there. They have a large menu with breakfast, lunch and dinner items. They open every day at 6 am. The locals dine there for the filling breakfast items. I was impressed by the number of huckleberry items and I couldn't wait to try some. 

I started with one of the Huckleberry Streusel Cakes. It was warm, soft, and crumbly, and it was full of yummy huckleberries! My son had a blueberry muffin and sausage links, while my other son had the Silver Dollar Pancakes from the kid's menu. We also shared some crispy bacon that was so good. I don't eat bacon often, but when I do, I remember how awesome is tastes. 

I also had a Belgian Waffle with hand-picked Montana wild mountain huckleberry sauce. I loved their huckleberry sauce and could have swam in the stuff. And with some whipped cream? Delicious! My husband loves his savory food, so he chose the Chicken Fried Steak. He paired it with a Bloody Mary. I tried a sip and it was really spicy. We couldn't resist the dessert menu, so we shared some Huckleberry Cobbler with ice cream. It was hot and fresh, and really hit the spot! 

After eating, I was stuffed to the brim with huckleberries. A long walk was just the ticket. I had such a tasty lunch trying three different huckleberry items at Huckleberry Square. I'd definitely recommend this spot in Burien. We dined inside, but they also have outdoor seating in adorable tents with individual picnic tables. So neat and fun!

Indoor dining is available with social distancing measures in place. 

They even sell some Huckleberry products in the lobby. 

The neat outdoor seating area in front of the restaurant. What a cool idea!
