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.

Black Sesame Shaved Ice with Raspberry Jam and Thai Tea Soft Serve.

For really unique Korean desserts in Seattle, head to Roji Monster Ice Cream. They opened at the end of 2021 in the University District. They have Korean Shaved Ice and other desserts. Roji Monster started in Taiwan and then opened in Singapore in 2021. They now have locations all over the world.

They have a fun way of ordering. You can choose which flavor of Shaved Ice, along with two sides. There are adorable stamps for each side and flavor, so you grab a card and stamp it with your order. Then just present it to the worker and pay for your items. Each Shaved Ice comes with two googly eyes made from icing sugar to look like a cute monster. When we went, the two flavors of soft serve were Matcha and Thai Tea. We chose Thai Tea and also some Raspberry Jam for our two sides. We also chose Black Sesame for our Shaved Ice.

Roji Monster's interior is cute, with plenty to look at. They also have lots of seating. The Shaved Ice was really creamy and just plain tasty. We also really liked the soft serve. The jam also paired well with the Shaved Ice. Check them out if you love unique desserts!
