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.

Trying two of the new Thanksgiving Doughnuts from Krispy Kreme

 Gobble, Gobble. Time to gobble up some doughnuts! Krispy Kreme has new Thanksgiving doughnuts that are available until November 25th. There are four to choose from. There's the Dutch Apple Pie, the Cranberry Orange, the Pecan Pie, and the Gobbler. The Gobbler is in the shape of a turkey and really cute. I didn't try this one because I heard it doesn't have a filling and tasted a little dry. I chose to try two of the doughnuts. I had the Dutch Apple Pie and the Cranberry Orange one. 

These Thanksgiving doughnuts were really unique and delicious. They weren't overly sweet like Krispy Kreme usually is. I shared these two with my husband and he really enjoyed them both. The filling for the Dutch Apple Pie was a really nice and fruity apple pie filling. The filling for the Cranberry Orange was a cranberry filling, but wasn't overly tart. It was the perfect level of sweetness and the hints of orange frosting on top paired really nice with the cranberry icing and filling. 

These Thanksgiving doughnuts were fun to try. Krispy Kreme does a nice job with their monthly flavors, but they stepped it up even more this month with these unique flavors. I'm looking forward to next month to see what kind of December doughnuts they come up with.
