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.

An adorable surprise Hello Kitty marshmallow inside of my melted cocoa bomb!

I found several items that I thought would be super fun to eat. I found a Hello Kitty Cocoa Bomb and three Christmas sugar cookies that are actually called Mug Huggers from Target. The Mug Huggers hang on your coffee cup while you have some Hot Cocoa. At Ross I bought a box of four Harry Potter Cocoa Bombs. They even came with a tiny plastic wand stir stick!

After I poured in my warm milk into my mug, my Hello Kitty Cocoa Bomb didn't melt right away. So I stirred it with my spoon. The chocolate started so melt and then an adorable Hello Kitty marshmallow appeared! Luckily, I was taking a video, so I'll be posting a reel of it on my @uniquefoodiefinds Instagram.

My boys had their Harry Potter Cocoa Bombs and I guess they didn't love the quality of the melted chocolate. Darn! My Hello Kitty one was better, I guess. We each put a cookie Mug Hugger on our mug. The cookies tasted good but were on the harder side. Nothing that couldn't be fixed by dipping it into our hot chocolates!
