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 Spice Waala for Indian Street Food and Soft Serve

 

The Coconut Cardamom soft serve from Spice Waala. They have a different signature flavor each month! 


What could be better than Indian street food and soft serve? We couldn't pass up Spice Waala. The menu looked mouthwatering, and they even have a soft serve flavor they change each month. They serve authentic Indian Street food from New Delhi and Calcutta. 

They started in 2018 in South Lake Union Saturday Market and they now have a location in Capital Hill and Ballard. We visited their spot in Cap Hill. 

My husband and I each chose one of their Kathi Rolls. I ordered the Kathi Roll Chicken Tikka and he had the Kathi Roll Lamb Kabab. The rolls were on the smaller side but packed with meat and flavor.  The meat is marinated for 36 hours and then they add a signature green chutney and onions. That goodness is then wrapped in a grilled Roti bread. 

They were spicy, which went so good with our Coconut Cardamom soft serve. The prices weren't bad, the Kathi Rolls are around $7.50 and they're pretty filling. The soft serve was so creamy and the coconut really hit. The cardamom flavor was also delicious and unique. 

This is a spot I'd return to again and again. Not only for the Indian food, but to come back and try more serve flavors another month! They also have Mango Lassi, a really refreshing mango drink I love, plus they have some tasty looking snacks.
