Mexican Alcoholic Popsicles at Poquitos

Chef Manny Arce is keeping the summer going as long as possible, with a bevy of bright new paletas—Mexican popsicles! A perfect post-meal treat as well as refreshing on their own, the paletas are available every day from open to close. There are usually four flavors available at a time—ever-changing with the arrival of sweet late summer fruits and whatever flavor combos pop into chef Arce’s head.

Here are some of the fabulous flavors they’ve been rotating through, for $2.95 each:

• Apricot-Orange
• Chocolate-Chipotle
• Ginger-Watermelon
• Strawberry-Habanero
• Tomatillo-Cucumber-Mint
• White Peach-Mango
• Strawberry-Habanero
• Cherries & Cream

Then there are the alcoholic pops, for $3.95 each:

• Strawberry Margarita
• El Dude with Vanilla Tequila, Kahlua, Horchata, and Cream
• Raspberry Caiparinha
• Traditional Margarita
• Pineapple-Cucumber-Mint-Tequila

Drop by for a refreshing paleta and keep the Seattle summer rolling!

From the fresh made tortillas and guacamole stations to the thoughtfully sourced products, creative cocktails, and extensive collection of tequilas, every aspect of the restaurant is stellar. Owners, James Weimann and Deming Maclise, spent time traveling in Mexico City, and their inspiration is apparent in the stunning design and inviting atmosphere they created in the restaurant.
