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...

My favorite chicken wings in the city can be found at Ba Bar. They have several locations in Seattle. I've visited their location near Cap Hill a couple of times. When we stumbled upon their spot in South Lake Union, and we were all ready for some dinner, we walked in and got a table.

Ba Bar serves Vietnamese street food and they're very popular for their Pho, noodle soup, which they add high quality meats. The soup is delicious and some of my husband's favorite pho. He's also a big fan of the wings. We ordered two plates of wings for the four of us to share. He also had the beef brisket pho. Our food came out super fast. My sons and I started devouring the wings. These hot and crispy wings have caramel sauce, rice vinegar, nouc cham, roasted garlic, and bird's eye chili. They weren't spicy, which my kids were happy about.

I had a Frose, which is neat because as I type this, it happens to be National Frose Day, yay! My husband had the Old Fhoshion, their play on an Old Fashioned. Everything at Ba Bar was tasty and hit the spot!
