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...

Lunch at Lamplight Lounge at DCA

 

The Fun Wheel cocktail from the secret menu at Lamplight Lounge. 


During our day at Disney California Adventure, we had lunch at Lamplight Lounge. I made reservations in advance and we were lucky to get one. This restaurant, located on Pixar Pier, is probably the most popular spot in eat in DCA. This is a sit-down restaurant, serving gastropub and creative cocktails. The theme is Pixar Animation. We loved the Pixar pictures on the wall and the other fun theming around the restaurant. The view though, was my favorite part. There's a beautiful view of the Incredicoaster and Mickey's Fun Wheel on Pixar Pier. After you enter the lobby, you'll be led down a circular staircase into the dining room and bar area. Don't miss the display of the striking Luxo Balls (the iconic yellow Pixar Balls). 

Another fun part of Lamplight Lounge is their secret drink menu! We tried a Fun Wheel and a Sea Witch. My Fun Wheel had Vodka, Gin, Light Rum, X-Fusion Passion fruit Liqueur, Blue Curacao, Sweet and Sour, and soda water. The drink was gorgeous with four layers of colors you mix up yourself. The drink was strong and refreshing, too. My husband's Sea Witch had Raspberry Vodka, Blue Curacao, Peach Schnapps, Cranberry juice, and soda water. 

To eat, I had the popular Nachos, but with chicken instead of lobster. The nachos were huge and probably for two people, but I was hungry from walking and I ate most of them. My husband had the Salmon Poke, which had a pretty presentation and he thought tasted really fresh. They have a kid's menu with a couple of choices. My sons ate the Grilled Chicken Tenders with Fries and the Mac and Cheese and Fries. 

We were seated at a table for four in the center of the dining room. The most coveted spots have views of Pixar Pier. Lamplight Lounge was a nice spot to eat, hang out, and sip a cocktail during our day at DCA!
