OK, a little higher than four stars The interior store is cute and has cheerful colors and decor. The metal chairs are what I would call aCaribbean blue. Very pretty, To order, you walk up to the counter and place your order from the menu behind the counter The menu offer sandwiches, bowls, sharables and sides. We were going to have dinner in a few hours, so we decided to split the sandwich and some fries. I'm very glad we did. The gal who helped us was very kind and helpful. If you looked up service with a smile, you would see her face. We did tell her we were splitting the sandwich and it arrived cut in half. I don't know if that's normal or if she had it done because we were sharing. The food arrived with two plate plates (the gal heard us- great service) We ordered a side of Yucca fries, which came with an aïoli and a Caribbean roast sandwich. The fries were crispy on the outside, dusted with a signature seasoning and tender on the inside. Yucca is denser and more chewy than potato but quite tasty. The aïoli served with the fries was yummy. The real star, however is the Caribbean roast sandwich. They did not skimp on sandwich filling. The pork was tender to the point of melting in your mouth and so flavorful. I love making me some grilled onions and there were grilled ones along with some jalapeños. I don't know if it was paid, but I did find a sandwich hard to eat because it was a little messy, but let me tell you I do not stop me from finishing. I grabbed a fork so I could eat any pieces that fell out. Very tasty. great service
Dear Paseo, You were the exact thing we needed after a very soggy hike, and your hot sandwiches warmed our cold, wet bones. The tofu delight was perfect! Not greasy, like it can get sometimes at the Sodo location. My partner had the shrimp, and he ate the entire thing in like a second. Can't wait to come back here for more after another (hopefully dry) hike! Happy New Year! Liana
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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
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

Just experienced my first visit to Paseo, and it definitely lived up to the hype! I went to the Issaquah location and the ambiance is charming with a tropical vibe, and the place is impeccably clean. I tried the Caribbean Roast priced at $13.95 - apparently it is rated as the best sandwich in America based on the menu. The slow-roasted pork shoulder, cilantro, pickled jalapeños, caramelized onions, and romaine, all packed into a toasted Macrina baguette slathered with garlic aioli, made it an incredible sandwich. The meat was exceptionally tender, and the buttery baguette added the perfect touch. Highly recommended! read more

Came here for the Grand opening and I must say it's nice to have Paseo on the Eastside. I came here after all the opening ceremony hype had died down when they first opened and it didn't look like a long wait, so I went and took a shot. I ordered the Seared Scallops sandwich with 4-stars and it took less than 10 minutes for my sandwich. For being a grand opening, they seemed to have the manpower and system down to handle busy hours. The seared scallops sandwich was what I expected. Same Macrina bread, grilled onions, and lots of sauce for that messiness you're used to. However, the sandwich seemed a lot smaller than what I'm expected and the scallops didn't have the crust I was expecting. If you're a Seattleite, you know the history of Paseo and this is the 2.0 version of this restaurant, because these are the second owners who took the beloved restaurant and opened multiple locations. However, they don't have the original recipes that was made popular a decade+ ago. If you want the original Caribbean Roast or the authentic Caribbean sandwiches, Cuban Press, or Chicken thighs, etc., you'll have to go to Ballard for that. Think of this as the restaurant that's trying to imitate In-N-Out, but it's not really In-N-Out. Nonetheless, it's a adequate rendition of it and that's what it is. Nonetheless, there are still positives to Paseo. I don't have to drive 40 minutes out if I'm craving a Caribbean sandwich, bowl or salad and they'll be open 6-7 days per week. Paseo will be a good addition to my dining rotation, since they're less than 10 minutes away. I'll be back here often for a quick lunch and dinner. read more

Oh my goodness, the Caribbean Roast sandwich here is probably one of the best sandwiches I've had in my life. The meat was so good and flavorful, and the caramelized onions were bomb. I opted to get no jalapenos on mine and it seems like they are really flexible with including/excluding items on the sandwiches. Definitely agree with other reviews for rolling up your sleeves because this thing is SAUCY. It was messy to eat but so, so good. The space itself is pretty bare bones, just a couple tables with a self serve station for water/napkins/utensils. Staff was friendly and I thought the sandwiches were fairly priced, ~$15 but it's quite filling and they give you a lot of meat. Plenty of parking in the plaza. read more
I've been here quite a few times and feel the quality of food has been pretty consistent. We always order their Caribbean roast sandwich. This is a favorite for us. Today I decided to try their rice-bean-trio. I had asked if I could get it with their pork belly and they were very accommodating. Got home and was disappointed by the portions/value for $12.75. Flavor of the pork belly was good but I don't think I would order this again. read more
Food- close enough to the original to hit your Paseo fix and conveniently on the east side. Bottled drink available for purchase. Ambiance- medium space with available outdoor seating. Service- nice. They have a kids chest of toys that my kids enjoyed rummaging while I was ordering. Self service utensils, hot sauces, wet naps and water. Location- downtown Issaquah. Nestled between Jamba Juice and Chase (near the Fred Meyer). Parking: plenty. Value: fair for today's inflation. Recommend: yes! read more

Thank you for visiting and taking the time to leave us a review! Glad…
Welcome to the Eastside! Was super excited to visit opening weekend. Had the Caribbean Roast and the Peseos Press. Caribbean Roast: It was good / not the best that I have had from Peseos but it was still good. Thought the pork was a bit dry. Peseos Press: Was a bit disappointed w this sandwich on this day (maybe still getting up to speed because it's opening weekend). The pork and sandwich was dry and wasn't packed like it typically is (typically when biting into a Peseos sandwich it's loaded with flavor and meats but the bread was more noticeable today) Overall - we enjoyed our sandwich but will say that it underperformed my expectations based on experiences from other locations. read more
So happy Paseo opened on the East Side. We've driven to their Fremont location numerous times and always have had a great meal there. We decided to go opening day, though mid-afternoon, once the initial rush passed. Although there were still a number of people, service was super fast and efficient so we received our order in less than 10 minutes. I ordered the Paseo press and it was delicious as usual, though it did seem like there was a less of the Caribbean pork than the last time I had it in Fremont. Also a bit surprised the pork wasn't as hot, temperature wise, as I'd hoped. But the flavor was spot on and we will definitely be back. Welcome to the east side Paseo! So happy you're here! read more
At least as consistent and great as the original, and SO grateful they're on the Eastside! Started having the bowl a couple of weeks ago and held out for the new spot and half the drive! I think I love them more than the sandwich now, except they keep skimping on the glorious black beans, so maybe order extra? Also, "hashbrowns" are just their fries. Everyone was super nice and it took 20 min for our food as the first 10 orders ever? That's pretty impressive in my experience opening other places. They have great drawings this week as well--win anywhere from a $15-100 gift card or Paseo for a year! Paseo made my month with this opening--one less place I have to trek LW for, THANK YOU! read more

Glad to have Paseo in town, finally stopped by while charging the car. The famous pork sandwich had good flavor similar to the original location. I prefer thinly sliced onions but still good with jalapeños too. Little messy but they provide ample napkins for dining in. Street corn elote was good, next time I'll ask less mayo sauce. Overall a solid place especially for the Eastside iykyk. I still prefer the other sandwich place but thankful to have Paseo in the Quah. I'll be back for the churros. Friendly counter service. Dine in or at the tables outside or via Uber Eats. read more

Thanks for visiting us in Issaquah, Emily! We're so glad to hear you…
Came here after hiking Rattlesnake Ledge and definitely re-gained all the calories I had lost. Worth it though! I ordered the pork sandwich which was super juicy and tasty but incredibly hard to eat. I ended up finishing with a mountain of napkins on my table and having to use a fork to finish the food. Service and ambiance were great and I highly recommend giving it a try since it is unique. read more
WOW! I was so impressed by this. Have been wanting to try for a while but this is the first time I had the opportunity to stop in. The tostones were killer - so fresh when I picked it up I couldn't even snack on in the car because they were so hot. I had the ham and cheese sandwich and am so in love with the caramelized onions. The person who gave me my food was so kind and it's a great lunch stop. read more

Finally had a chance to try these sandwiches in their Eastside location and food did not disappoint! Of course we had to get the original Caribbean roast sandwich, which tasted like their original. Warning sandwich is juicy and messy...would recommend sharing so you can try something else on the menu like we did (and because an entire sandwich may just be a tad too oily for me since so much meat). We also got the red sauce plate with prawns and the portion size was generous, flavorful and customizable spiciness. Not sure what to make of the salad that came with though since it didn't seem to have a dressing? Some seasonal items on their temp menu which look tasty. Cute interior with a few small tables outside for outdoor dining. Convenient strip mall parking in large plaza. read more

Pro tip: Wear a short sleeve shirt as it's a delicious that you would want to savor every last bite but messy sandwich where everything might fall apart and the juice from the meat will be dripping down to your elbows. I didn't want to be a slob in public so I decided to take it to go to be a slob in the privacy of my own home instead. Was pretty excited to get a Paseo on the eastside now, it's in a plaza center next to Jamba Juice, plenty of easy parking unlike their Seattle locations. I tried the smokin' thigh, but I think it'll stick to their #1 seller, the Caribbean roast. Tell me about your experience if you've been here or is going to after reading this review:) read more

Thank you for coming by! So glad to hear you enjoyed, thank you for…
We've eaten at the other Paseo locations over the years & were so happy to hear they were finally coming to our neighborhood! We went the day after they opened & it was still super busy but organized & we got our food rather quickly considering. We went early & I wanted breakfast so I got the breakfast burrito with pork- absolutely delicious! Huge portion & the pork was so lean & juicy. My husband got the "Famous Caribbean Roast" it was also a generous portion & he loved it with jalapeño peppers & grilled onions. We topped it off with an order of street corn each- so good! The service & food are great but there is limited seating so we headed to the park. We'll be back to try more menu items! read more

I've been trying to taste a sandwich from Paseo for a few years. I hadn't been to Seattle in a long time until now. Heading from Wenatchee back to SEA TAC On the 90 freeway I decided to check how far Paseo was. ( seemed like a better option than anything else at the airport) To my surprise they opened a 3rd location in Issaquah! I was just 15 minutes away. I ordered the famous Caribbean roast! OMG it was better than I imagined. The bread was warm, crispy in the outside but soft in the inside. The pork was so tender and delicious. Smothered in the perfect balance of creamy garlic aioli. It was a good size sandwich! I would definitely recommend! My new go to for sure when in Seattle! read more
Glad Paseo made it to the east side in Issaquah! This location is just as good as the others and with convenient parking it's a winner. I ordered my two go to items: Caribbean Roast Sandwich and West Caribbean Roast Pork bowl...and they did not disappoint. Just as tasty as I remembered. I do love their picked jalapeños and wish there was more on the sandwich and in the bowl. It's a really good treat once in a while and with this location, I'll be back whenever I'm in the area. read more

Paseo did not honor a gift card promotion that was prominently advertised on their website at the time. They have ignored my multiple contacts asking them to rectify the situation. The takeout food was fine, but the shady business practices aren't. read more
Messy, tasty sandwiches! Great sauce, good bread. Lots of caramelized onions. I really enjoyed the chicken sandwich. I had one piece of onion that was about 7 inches long and wide. No way to keep it in the sandwich and bite through it. I would like the sandwich better with onion you can manage. Would also like some pickle or something to break up the richness. All this said, I would definitely come back! read more

It has finally happened- we have a Paseo's location in the eastside. This place is getting a lot of attention. It's definitely a different environment than the other locations. It is a small with about 6 tables and a small bar widow area. There are a couple of tables outside, for people who want quieter place to eat. There is one wall with greenery decoration and everything else is white. The focus is on the food and enjoying the classic sandwiches and other plates. We waited about 15 minutes for our food. My friend got the Steak and Swiss sandwich which is a play on a Philly cheese steak. Definitely had sweet tangy flavor. I got the Caribbean Plato with pork. It comes with rice beans and corn. I definitely think the best thing here is their pork dishes with the lingering sauce/broth marinated into flavor. The beans were a tad overdone but overall everything else is on point. We enjoyed the garlic and chipotle aiolis. When we left, there was a longer line outside of people trying to get their take out orders in before they close at 7pm. Be prepared to wait but the wait is worth it if you are looking for something that is savory comfort food. read more
Nice indoor dining and some outdoor dining available. The famous Caribbean Roast sandwich is very flavorful and delicious! My kids are of the kids menu--chicken fingers were good. The bread for the Grilled cheese was kind of hard for my kids to eat. Softer bread would be better. I can't wait to return and try more off of their menu! Friendly service and pretty quick!! read more

Food is full of flavor. Let me explain: I ordered a fish in this red sauce over jasmine rice. It comes with black beans and a pickled beet salad. The fish and sauce full of delicious flavor (a level 2 spice). The Jasmine rice complements the flavor, The Black beans oh so delicious with its own season and flavor. Pickled beet salad a delicious complement to everything. Tasty and not overwhelming. This dish also comes with a sweet side of corn on the cob (small).. This order priced reasonably for just under $17.00. I have 4 stars because they need more seating. This is casual dining . You can order to go which is what I did. read more
