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.

An Anniversary Brunch at El Camino in Fremont

 

I love towers, especially boozy towers. 

Check out this Mimosa Tower we ordered at El Camino. For $22 it came with four fruity mimosas- Passionfruit, Guava, Mango, and Pomegranate! Perfect for a wedding anniversary brunch. 


 To celebrate our wedding anniversary, we had brunch at El Camino. This was our second time dining at this lively Mexican spot in Fremont. When I saw on their socials they serve a Mimosa Tower at brunch, I wanted to go for our anniversary. We ordered the tower, and it was a fun and unique way to drink mimosas. They were strong and fruity, but all four flavors did kind of taste similar. My husband helped me drink the mimosas, but he also ordered a unique rum cocktail served in a skull glass! Their cocktails at El Camino are so fun. 

To eat, my son and I chose the French Toast. The Mexican French Toast has Piloncillo syrup, Mexican cinnamon and orange zest, then it's topped with fresh fruit and creme anglaise. It was a big serving, so it was just right for breakfast the next day. My other son had the quesadillas from the kid's menu and my husband ordered the Birria Hash. This came with two eggs, slow roasted shredded beef, crispy potatoes, and one Queso Birria with consommé sauce. 

We really enjoyed our brunch and especially the unique novelty drinks, which were perfect for our anniversary celebration!

I also baked a chocolate cake with vanilla frosting for our anniversary. I ordered these cute Minnie and Mickey Mouse cake toppers from Amazon. Then I decorated the cake with some gold, silver, and white sprinkles!
