    Famous Roasted Street Corn Chicken Breast
    Britney S.

    The corn was so delicious! I've tried the chicken sandwiches at all the different locations, this was okay. I liked the Seattle one better. Will try again though!

    Tostones

    Great customer service and food was delicious. Clean environment with fun music. I enjoyed the tostones and the pulled pork sub. 1/2 is plenty. However, the only thing with this is you have to find someone to share it with because it does get soggy quick. Loved the way the chicken was cooked for the nachos, I was just expecting something different. We also got a quesadilla for the kiddos with the pulled pork. Again, find someone to share it with since it gets soggy quick.

    Scallop sandwich
    Wina G.

    Friend was raving about the scallop sandwich which is seasonal so had to try it. It's not cheap eats -it was about $20 but it was good!! Pretty good sized scallops surprisingly and the packed a lot of flavor. It was a bit messy to eat with all the sauces and everything but it delicious. Recommend! We also got the tostones (deep fried plantains). We liked them a lot-they weren't overly greasy and the slices were big and thick. It has a bit of a kick with the seasoning. That and the scallop sandwich made for a filling a yummy lunch. And they have a little treasure chest fill with toys for little ones to select a toy. Nice touch. I would def come back and try the other food items here.

    I love it that Paseo has a location on the eastside. We usually get their sandwiches, this time I decided to try their wings. I got the wings in Habanero sauce, I was told it was spicy. I wanted spicy and I got it. The wings were great, very spicy, I enjoyed them. We'll be back soon to have the sandwiches soon.

    Bread Pudding little burnt for my liking

    I'm only rating this for the bread pudding. I ordered it to go and waited a very long time for it. I kept asking the young lady how much longer for the Bread pudding, she said it's almost done. When I got home I had my family help me eat it. It was over cooked, and the top burnt. It even smelled burnt. Even if we removed the burnt parts, the rest still smelled burnt.

    Caribbean Sandwich
    Ann T.

    Portions are so good! Worth every penny. The meats are well marinated but not too saucy or over flavored at all. I was expecting bold and salty but it was a good surprise it tasted healthier than I expected! The store was very clean and well kept. The bathroom was spacious and clean too! Service was quick and polite. I would definitely come back! Inside is strong AC. Sir outside in the sun if there is any. Haha!

    So the sandwich had great flavors and lots of meat and the interior was cute, though small. I need to be petty and complain about the sandwich-eating experience though. There is a whole heap of toppings on skinny slices of baguette wrapped in regular/uncoated paper. The sandwich is hot and the meat and onions are wet, so the paper dissolved onto the sandwich and I was picking pieces of paper out the whole time I ate. Fully half of the toppings slid out and I dripped pork and pork juice down the entire front of me and on the floor. Twice. I believe the skinny baguette and the non-waxed paper presentation need to be rethought.

    While here for a Yelp experience, I had the chance to finally try the very famous Carribean Roast Pork Sandwich. WOW. It's very tasty. We ate in and shared a side of Tostones (double fried plantains) which were sliced thinner than I've had in Caribbean restaurants in the past but were very tasty and well seasoned with cilantro and chipotle aioli. The World Famous Caribbean Roast Pork sandwich is worth the hype and worth the drive to try it. The slow roasted pork is super tender and the caramelized onions are a perfect compliment. The added crunch from Romaine lettuce finishes a satisfying bite. Keep the sandwich inside the waxed covering as it gets messy and can fall apart if removed. This Issaquah location is a strip mall variety and is clean an new inside. The seating capacity says 14 people, which isn't a lot. I would like this location better if they add on a Tiki bar or more seating space somehow. It seems to be a great lunch and dinner spot for a thriving area. Now I need to try the original Fremont location and then Un Bien to satisfy my cravings.

    So happy to have Paseo on the eastside. Located i. A strip mall by Fred Meyer with parking. Ordered the Caribbean roast and paseo press which were both delicious. Order at the counter yet and sit at many of the little tables to dine in. There is a water/utensil/ and wet wipe station which is much needed as it's a bit of a messy sandwich.

    Excellent food. Great sandwiches that drip down your arms. Get the onion sides. Bee warning is real.. jus dont swat at them in a panic and you'll be fine.. or eat in or get takeout

    Caribbean Roast
    Albert T.

    I originally tried the original Paseo location years ago back before the ownership change and remember having one of the best sandwiches I had ever eaten. Since this Paseo location was conveniently on the drive back from Snoqualmie Falls, we decided to make a stop to see if they could repeat the magic. Caribbean Roast ($15.70) - Seeing this pricing, I was kind of shocked given how Paseo's competitors in the city are a couple of dollars cheaper. Paseo is a totally different beast nowadays, so perhaps they are riding a bit too much on their past fame to jack up their prices? Still, I gave this sandwich a fair shake. Paseo's hallmark has always been a sandwich dripping with delicious pork juices, a flavor bomb in the mouth. Good sandwich construction is a must, to keep the sandwich intact enough to meld everything together into a delicious bite. This Paseo - Exceptional drippage? Yes. Flavor bomb? A bit, but less complex than the competition. Construction? This sandwich is a disaster. Let's start with the baguette - it's not toasted nearly enough to redevelop some of the crust and is served lukewarm. The baguette top and bottom are reversed on top of each other. As in the rounded end piece on top of the flat piece on both sides. It makes this dish basically a pork salad with bread on the side. The poor orientation of the baguette slices, combined with the narrowness of the baguette (a hallmark of this sandwich), and the fact that they place the convex side of the lettuce facing the meat, allows everything, and I mean everything, to spill out all along the sides and ends. Upon lifting the sandwich to take my very first bite, three quarters of the ingredients landed on my plate. I'm not sure if this construction was intentional or an oversight. While the construction is poor, the items inside the sandwich are decent to good. There are onions, sliced into ring pieces instead of eights, with not enough time on the grill to caramelize any of the sugars or to help stick to the sandwich. There's plenty of pork, moist and tender from the juices it soaks in. Decently flavorful, being tangy, slightly sweet, and very savory, but missing some of the mojo/citrusy/garlicky elements. There's garlic mayo, adding fragrance and additional fat and creaminess. There are pickled jalapenos, raising the spice level up just a tad, and boosting the pleasing acidic notes. The one thing Paseo does better than competitors is the amount of meat they add - probably 50% more than other place. The flavors in this sandwich are good enough, but the construction is so terrible that it affects my rating. (3/5) Tostones ($6.25) - This dish comes with 5 tostones, dusted with a salty seasoning mixture and then drizzled with a smoky and slightly spicy chipotle sauce. The tostones are hard, yet not exhibiting much crunch on the outside, and very dry rather than fluffy on the inside. My first thought was that perhaps these tostones were battered and deep fried given the texture and how there seemed to be an outside coating that didn't make these feel like smashed plantains. Then I re-read the menu - apparently these tostones are double fried, which I guess creates these frankly subpar tostones. (3/5) Paseo has taken a big step down in the caribbean roast sandwich game. There are now places in Seattle that make a far superior sandwich in both construction and taste, and are cheaper to boot. With that being said, I think this is the only place to get caribbean roast on the Eastside, so location-wise, there's not much competition. Bathrooms - One unisex room

    Cute walk.

    Remembered this spot from an elite event. So I decided to come here for dinner. I had the street corn and their original pork sandwich. The service was excellent and I was greeted with a welcome and a smile. No feeling of irritation when I took my time to decide what to eat. The place is clean and fun music jamming. Good ambience. Now the food: the corn is really delicious and smothered in margarine, Parmesan cheese and sprinkled with cayenne pepper. Cooked perfectly. Had to order it. It's what I tried when I was here for the Yelp event. The sandwich was absolutely gigantic! Super tender lean pork on a crusty bread with onions, lettuce (I think was bok choy) jalapeños and lightly sauced. I think it had cheese too. Overall a delicious meal. I'd like to come back for their happy hour. Because my meal was a bit pricey, in my opinion. $31.00 plus tip and yikes. Why I don't eat out often. But I have no regrets and would recommend this place. Loads of parking in front. Treat yourself! SYOY.!

    Love the recycling and compost and garbage for customers!!!!

    Very friendly service and waited less than 10 minutes for four Caribbean roasts and three fries. I noticed the current prices were much higher than last year- 9 months ago they were $13.95- now $15.70... they are good sandwiches- BUT the raising costs are getting out of control. I used my birthday email for my free sandwich. I also got three other sandwiches and three fries for over $72- 3 sammies and 3 fries for over $72! The price of fries is now at $6.25 for a bag- and while they are tasty and a good amount given its potatoes... tasty food but prices are getting too high for food.

    tl;dr the juicy Caribbean pork sandwiches at this revived Seattle mini-chain live up to the…read morelegendary hype Un Bien is arguably Seattle's most popular sandwich joint, and its dramatic history begins with Cuban chef Lorenzo Lorenzo and his initial shop, Paseo. Lorenzo opened Paseo in 1994, where his popular Cuban roast pork sandwiches were regarded as among the best in the country. After years of local expansion, Paseo abruptly filed for bankruptcy in 2014. The brand was subsequently bought out by a local entrepreneur, but the sale did not include Paseo's secret recipes (the reboot attempted to reverse engineer the sandwiches with varying success). So, in 2015, Lorenzo's sons revived Paseo under a new name, Un Bien, armed with their father's original recipes. Nowadays, Un Bien is generally regarded as superior to Paseo, and you can grab their Caribbean sandos at one of the three locations across Seattle. You can't miss the pastel pink-and-teal palette of the original shack on an otherwise drab block of Ballard. As you approach the wooden window, you are greeted by the aroma of sauteed meats and veggies. Communal laquered wood benches are lined up underneath a covered pergola. Fifties hits ring respectfully around the kitchen. My partner and I visited for late weekday lunch, and we ordered immediately. We opted to focus on the signature pork shoulder, so we split the #1 Caribbean Roast and #2 The Press. Across both sandwiches, we were impressed by the tender pork, rich onions, lemon-forward aioli, and marinade-soaked baguette. The standard roast pork sandwich added on pickled jalapenos and crisp romaine, culminating in a dynamic flavor that accentuated the meat. Meanwhile, The Press featured tart banana peppers, smoked ham, and melty Swiss, amping up the sweet and savory flavors alike; we agreed that this extra-messy sandwich just edged out the standard version. Our order took just minutes to be prepared, and the bill just topped $30. Despite the fanfare, I still found myself surprised by just how satisfying Un Bien's sandwiches turned out to be. Across all the food I ate in Seattle, only these pork sandwiches would be worth a return visit, even if I had to venture out of my way.

    Messy, pricey, totally overrated…read more My family and I visited Un Bien and arrived approximately 45 minutes before closing. We ordered promptly, but were told we would only have about 10 minutes to use the seating area before it closed. When we asked for clarification because the restaurant was advertised as being open until 9:00 PM, staff confirmed they were open until then but said the seating area would close earlier anyway. After receiving our food, we were told not to sit down and were asked to leave the seating area altogether. The interaction felt abrupt and discourteous, especially given that we had arrived well before closing and had purchased food with the expectation that we could eat on-site. The food itself was average, but the poor customer service and inconsistent messaging about seating left a much stronger impression than the meal. There are other better places. Skip.

I tried a sip of my friend's spicy marg and it was TRULY spicy but it was absolutely delicious. For our app we tried the Corn Queso and it was super good! Definitely recommend.

Ordering is done at the counter, then you wait for a buzzer to grab your food, which made it feel more like a cafeteria or fast-food setup than a traditional restaurant.

Being from the East Coast, I was really looking forward to some true Jamaican jerk chicken or flavorful oxtail, and unfortunately this missed the mark for me. The best comparison I can think of is making baby back ribs in the oven, pouring barbecue sauce on top, and calling them authentic BBQ ribs -- without the seasoning, smoke, or hours of preparation that make the real thing special. One big plus was the ample parking with generously sized spaces, which is definitely appreciated. Overall, probably not somewhere I'll become a frequent customer, but I could still see stopping in for a quick bite over McDonald's, Five Guys, or standard takeout Chinese food.
