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 Neighborhood Cafe in Tukwila

 

The Milo Milk Tea from Neighborhood Cafe! This unique tea has black tea, milk, chocolate syrup, marshmallow cream, milo powder, and has a little plastic shovel for mixing and for extra cuteness! 


We recently tried a new counter-service cafe located in Tukwila, WA. Neighborhood Cafe serves up delicious Filipino-fusion brunch food. They also have some unique coffee flights and milk teas. I had the Milo Milk Tea to drink and it was so cute! The drink was pretty sweet, but I'm into that. The marshmallow cream took it over the top, but in the best way! 

To eat, I chose the Banana Bread French Toast. Every bite tasted so good, and before I knew it, my plate was clean. I always wanted to make Banana Bread French Toast, and now I'm wondering why I didn't try to before. The bread was nice and dense and there were yummy, caramelized bananas on top, along with candied walnuts. So unique and satisfying! Along with my Milo Milk Tea, my lunch was ten out of ten. My husband had the Chicken Fried Steak. This was breaded beef, topped with a Longanisa gravy, and a sunny-side up egg. It also came with some garlic fried rice. 

This cafe in Tukwila definitely passes the vibe check! I highly recommend coming for breakfast or lunch! They open early and close at 5pm. Next time, I'm going to try the coffee flight, which comes with four unique coffees! They even have a Chicken and Churros dish that looks amazing.
