The food here was to die for. The location is small but easy to find and parking is accessible around the streets near by. We ordered a jambalaya, famous sandwich and a chicken sandwich. The jambalaya was filled with shrimp fish and the works. The chicken sandwich was 10/10. The bread was crunchy on the outside but soft on the inside and the chicken was tasty and tender TIP add extra chicken. The famous sandwich was BOMB! it had a lot of meat and onions, and I opted for the extra green habanero sauce because Chile is LIFE. read more

Sandwich was among the best. Seattle vibes. Hot sandwich. Eat in your car type. Would recommend the food. Rushed experience so cannot comment further as memory is fuzzy. Service was okay, no pros/cons. read more

Amazing flavor I got the Famous Caribbean Roast and Yuca fries. The pork is melt in your mouth good. I'd highly recommend stopping by if you're in the area. They also had very quick service, especially for 5 o clock on a Saturday! read more

First time visiting this location and the food, service and atmosphere are great. I haven't been back to Seattle in a few years and I was worried the quality of the Caribbean pork sandwich had fallen off, but it was just as good as I remember. Hit this place up if you want good food. read more

I finally got the chance to try this place and compare the Caribbean Roast to Un Bien's and it's quite close. The location is small and you must find street parking just like Un Bien. The staff is super friendly too which is great. But the sandwich is slightly different. Let me start by saying that Paseo's Caribbean Roast is great! The bread is perfectly toasted and soaks up the delicious morsels of meat that are covered with jalapenos, cilantro, crispy lettuce, and the caramelized onions. But the main difference I noticed is that despite how greasy the wrapper gets, the meat is a bit more dry and the caramelized onions are not as sweet compared to Un Bien's. You can taste the contrast in flavor between sweet and savory at Un Bien that really balances the meal. With that said, if you want to introduce a friend to this for the 1st time, I would suggest going out of the way to Un Bien to get them hooked! But if you live closer to Paseo, by all means go here and save the trip! Both taste extremely similar, but Un Bien wins imo. read more

Paseo - Caribbean Roast $9.75. Almost as good as Un Bien's but still yummy. - Caribbean Near Me - Seattle, Washington

One of the best sandwich spots in Seattle! Food: 5/5 Super good food for a really good price. - Caribbean Roast Sandwich ($10.95) This sandwich is so freaking good! The bread is nice and soft and holds up to the sauce and fillings. The meat is super tender and juicy (a little bit on the fatty side, but that's a positive lol) but for me, the best part of the sandwich are the marinated onions. They literally have an option to order more onions on the side, they are that good! - Roasted Corn ($5.00) Roast corn with butter, garlic, and cheese? Can't get any better than that. - Caribbean Fries ($5.00) Crispy fries with a tasty cajun seasoning all over with a nice cooling garlic aioli as a dip. Service: 3.5/5 Don't get me wrong, everybody here is really nice. I think the only negative is how busy this place can get and the line can be pretty long. The actual indoor eating area can get super congested so I definitely recommend eating outside if it is sunny. If it is rainy then take it to go or try and grab a table. Parking: 4/5 Pretty easy to find parking somewhat close, but you might have to walk a little bit. Overall, great spot for locals and tourists alike! The sandwiches are fire and going during the summer is the best time to go! read more

Paseo - Caribbean Roast, Roasted Corn, and Fries - Caribbean Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Heard tons of great things about this place and I was really craving a bomb sandwich. I got there early when they first opened. Looking at the menu I opted for the pork shoulder(best in the area) and the chicken strip sandwich. They all sounded really good so I thought I'd give both a try. The pork shoulder was claimed to be the best in America so I had to see for myself, I also really like chicken sandwiches more than beef. Got my order fairly quick. The chicken one was more on the dry side but the pork one was delicious! It W's juicy and u could taste all the flavoring. Messy but bomb! Little bit on the pricey side but overall worth it. I would definitely come back for the pork sandwich. read more

I ordered the Caribbean roast and seared scallops sandwiches here recently as I was passing through Seattle. I thought that overall the sandwiches were just ok. The roast was the better sandwich with saucy shredded pork and chunks of browned onions and veg. It tasted good, but because the bread had a sturdy crust (which I ordinarily don't mind), all of the sandwich contents and especially the onions and pickled jalapenos would squeeze out when you took a bite. It was a bit messy to eat, but decent overall. The scallop sandwich was a fail. The description indicated it was seared, but what I got was pale, flabby, and not good. It felt like a waste of otherwise large and good-looking sea scallops. My guess is they either weren't dried properly before searing or the cooking surface wasn't hot enough. The portions were generous and I hardly ate for the rest of the day. I might try it again to make sure, but for my time and money I suggest Local Tide a few blocks over if you're looking for a sandwich. read more

Love the Paseo press and the Caribbean roast. I also loooove their street corn. So good!!

As a huge sandwich fan, I was pretty excited about trying this spot. I ordered the chips/salsa and the most popular sandwich(don't remember what is was called). The sandwich wasn't really my cup of tea, now was the warm(temperature) salsa. As the food wasn't really my style, the ingredients were high quality, the inside was clean, and the staff was nice. read more

Heard a lot of good things about this place and decided to give it a try! My friend got the classic caribbean roast sandwich and she loved it! The sauce really enhances the flavor of the roasted pork, but the baguette was gigantic so it took us a while to finish it. The scallop sandwich may not be available every time but it's definitely worth getting! Generous portions of the scallops sautéed with basil with a subtle flavor of soy sauce(?) The only downside is the baguette gets really soggy because of all the moisture and sauce that comes with the scallops...but still tasted amazing! read more

In our last day in Seattle, we searched for a good food place and came across Paseo. We ordered the Caribbean Roast. Like many other reviews said, it was DELICIOUS. The pork was extremely juicy. The caramelized onions and jalapeños went really well and the bread was surprisingly not soggy. My honest opinion is that it's definitely a delicious sandwich - could be among the top few I've had - but not sure I'd say it was the best one I've had. To make it stand out even more, I wished it had a little bit more of a kick. Some kind of spicy or sour kick. The jalapeño helped with this, but a little more of that extra complementary taste would make it even better. Still worth a try for a solid and memorable sandwich. We also ordered the churros which were arguably the best churros I've ever had. I'm not someone who especially loves churros or goes out of my way to eat a lot of them, but out all of the ones I've had, it was the best. The churros were perfectly crispy and piping hot (freshly made) - and the best part was the custard filling inside. It came with chocolate dipping sauce that paired well but I personally preferred eating the churros by itself. Last note - I saw another review that said it was too messy to eat in the car and this is definitely true. I was lucky to have a plate in the car but if not, it definitely would've left a huge greasy mess so be careful. TLDR: definitely worth the try. Wouldn't say it was the best I've ever had but for sure a very delicious sandwich. read more

I love this place! They have incredible sandwiches, maybe the best in Seattle. Their Caribbean roast was super tasty. It was quite greasy which is why I gave 4 stars. The fries and churros were also good read more

Paseo - #1. Caribbean Roast - Caribbean Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I'm unfortunately not a fan despite the many high ratings. I got the #1 and it was just too soggy for me. Maybe next time I'll eat there. The togo wrap didn't help. Expensive too, wouldn't come back on my own time. Street parking only. read more

My boyfriend and went to Seattle together for the first time and Paseo was our first stop straight from the airport! We arrived shortly after they opened at 11am, so the line wasn't long. It's a little shack with limited indoor and outdoor seating. Street parking only. I ordered the infamous Caribbean Roast sandwich which is apparently the second best sandwich in America. I also got the roasted corn ($1 off with Yelp check in)! They have a water spout, but it's not that cold and kinda tastes weird, so we got a can of soda. The corn was big, juicy, and flavorful! It's like a Mexican elote. The sandwich was absolutely delicious! Very very messy, but so worth it. You definitely can't eat this in your car, unless you want juicy pork all over your lap. The pork is tender and the bread is toasty but not painful to eat. The caramelized onions are sweet and perfectly soft. We realized later that night that we were actually given the Paseo Press, not the Caribbean Roast! So we went back a couple days later to try the true Caribbean Roast. It was just as good! The difference is that it has lettuce and jalapeños, while the Paseo Press has banana peppers, cheese, and ham. Whichever you choose to get, you will love it! I'm happy that I got to eat something so amazing, but sad that there is nothing comparable in Sacramento. I'd definitely return and recommend! read more

Get the Caribbean roast (#1). So good and so worth it! It comes loaded with a lot of pork and all of it was so juicy and tender. The flavor was really spot on. It came with a heaping amount of caramelized onions that paired well with the pork. We ended up taking the sandwich to-go and went to a brewery after. The sandwich paired perfectly with the beer ;) . I had to dock a star because although the food is good, the service here is quite horrendous. The servers aren't enthusiastic, don't really seem to care, and are super slow. As I was waiting, I saw a bunch of sandwiches on the counter ready to be taken to the customers but no one bothered to do anything. When someone finally did something about it, my sandwich was actually one of the unlucky ones just sitting there. Not great as I'm not looking for a soggy sandwich. read more

The sandwiches are pretty good. However, the sandwiches seems to have been made smaller in size compared to a couple of years ago, and the prices has been increased. read more

The Caribbean roast is so amazingly good; it might be the best sandwich I've ever had. The slow roasted pork shoulder is the star of the show; it is perfectly marinated, roasted to perfection. It melts in your mouth in a wonderful melange of meaty fatty goodness. It's complemented by nice caramelized onions and jalapenos to add some kick. I don't usually like jalapenos with my sandwich, but they added just the right amount of spice! The toasted baguette was also super crispy; along with the vegetables, it balanced out the richness of the pork. Be warned: this sandwich is super messy, so be careful eating it. Grab lots of napkins. Seating is limited; place is pretty small. I would 100% come back and try more. What an amazing find!! read more

BRUH. Tell me why I had to order a second round of their sandwiches because of how good it was. I was already full, but it was just so great. The first time I came to this place, I fell in love. My recent visit to Seattle, I definitely had this on my MUST-VISIT list. What I usually order is the Caribbean roast. It's juicy, packed, and cut in half for easy eating. Price isn't too bad for the quality of the food and the service given. The place is a little small, so if it gets busy, it can get pretty crowded, but no worries. They have tables to eat outside. Parking isn't too bad either, but it is street parking. It's hard to spot the restaurant from far away because they have no signs except a small one on their door, but you'll know which one it is when you see crowds of people eating outside and inside. Visit this place, it's worth it. Definitely will come back the next time I visit Seattle again. read more

Great food. I felt that they can put more things in the sandwich. It was plain meat. But if you love meat you will really enjoy the food! Customer service is just ok. Very busy place! Make sure you have enough time read more

I've heard so much about Paseo from all my friends and even people visiting Seattle that I figured it was time for me to try it. Let me say for my sandwich I was not disappointed. Caribbean Roast Sandwich: Ordered their classic (and I think most well known?) sandwich. Tons of meat, super delicious and so filling I could only eat half. I loved the sauce, the veggies in it and overall was a great sandwich. Tofu Sandwich: this is where I'm docking a star. My friend is vegetarian and decided to order this sandwich and didn't expect to see any meat in there. When we sat down she saw bits of meat on the top and ends of her sandwich and I ended up taking them off and putting them on my own. I definitely understand it's hard when most of the sandwiches predominantly have meat in them, but I think this is something that restaurants should be mindful of if they are offering a vegetarian option. Anyway, overall I think we were still both pretty happy with our food and because it's only takeout right now, we went to a small park nearby and had a mini picnic in the shade which was a great move! read more

Yeah I think I'll PASSeo because I was not very impressed. I was really excited to come here because the hype was big time. Sandwiches looked amazing and authentic! Overall, I'd give the food a 4 (barely) but I'd give the service a 2... 2.5 overall. It's very small inside. A couple benches outside though so that helps. Doors and front windows are wide open so zero cool air on a hot summer day. You can see into the kitchen and it's pretty dirty. Does not look sanitary. I got the famous Caribbean roast sandwich and a side of the corn. Corn was pretty good with a lot of good spice and flavor. $5 dollars for like 5 calories though. Not much on cob. The sandwich was good but very hard to eat with the big, thick, and slippery caramelized onions. Yummy bread and roast though! Sandwich was put together really terribly. They have water that is nice and warm... not a fan of that when you're in a hot humid restaurant. The employee taking orders was zero help. Also just yelled out order numbers and when you came up to get your order they didn't know which one was which. Everyone I was with had the same problem. Needless to say I was disappointed and have learned not to give in to the hype too much. read more

Probably not the best person to review this, since I was having a hella grumpy day and the wait here did not make things better. Pro tip 1: uber here, and don't be like me....walked all the way from U Dub... I don't like to call foods "fatty" because all foods are beautiful, but this was probably the sloppiest, and oiliest sandwich I have ever encountered. The meat juice, butter stuff and caramelized onion juice was just leaking everywhere! It was hard to eat sitting down, I can't imagine people do takeout for this! This is more for DRUNCHIES than a nice sandwich post hike or something. I felt so sick just taking one bite... This place is super duper small, so most people take to-go. I think they have another location opened elsewhere, but this is the OG. Pro tip 2: if anything, AVOID THE SANDWICHES. GET A PLATE INSTEAD. Price wise, it was kind of expensive. I can get some nice Caribbean food in the bay area (Back a Yard, anyone?). Mediocre experience. No highlights. +1 for meat overload. read more

I usually have the Famous Caribbean Roast. The meat is very tender and tasty but I feel the two pieces of bread ruin the sandwich. They are smaller pieces of bread so when its overloaded with meat the meat just falls out and I end up just eating the meat with my bare hands or with a fork which defeats the purpose. They need to use larger pieces of bread for their sandwiches also their bread is kinda tough. read more

What can I say it's a Seattle institution! I almost always get the braised pork and onions sandwich for a reason. The black beans are really good as well. Service is always quick and friendly . It's nice to sit outside on a good day otherwise, taking at home or to park is good option. read more

Although this place claims to be a Caribbean restaurant it does not feel like or have many of the standard/traditional dishes. One review said it was a Cuban restaurant but being Cuban myself it couldn't be further from the truth. There was Mexican music playing and it just did not have a Caribbean vibe whatsoever. We ordered the Paseo press sandwich which was not pressed at all I expected it to be like a traditional Cuban sandwich which has nice roast pork nice ham not a deli ham like was served and definitely be pressed on an iron Which it was not. The sandwich was tasty but nothing special. They also have a board that said killer Cuban coffee, which was not Cuban was not killer and just did not taste good it was just watered down espresso with a lot of sugar in it. The guy at the front was very friendly and nice and they seem to do a good takeout business as people kept coming in and out but the sandwiches and the items I had to order just were not appealing to me. I wish there was a definite good Cuban restaurant in the area which I've yet to find one. read more

Yuuuupppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppp this place is gas. The C. Roast is good and the citrus salad add chicken is gas too

Poor service slow and rude staff. Do not recommend at all. Stupid people who took fifteen minutes to ring you up and mess up every order.

Phenomenal sandwiches-- I can tell why this place is so busy! It was recommended to us by a local and it did not disappoint. The churros (on the "hidden menu") were an absolutely delicious but a little too sweet for my taste. I didn't expect to have an entire pack of them! The only downside is that their bathrooms were not up to COVID safety standards and I really don't recommend using them. The outdoor benches also had signs that they are not sanitized regularly and were "off limits".. AKA they don't take responsibility if you get sick from them, but leave them outside for customers anyway. read more

This was my last food stop after a week long vacation in Seattle and the hype did not live up. The #1 Caribbean Roast is far from the best sandwich in America. The bread was chewy and hardly toasted. The pork itself was sparse and almost entirely masked by the caramelized onions. The overall flavor profile is just that of the onions itself as if the pork is a bystander and you get the occasional spice from the jalapeno. The #6 Sauteed Prawns fared better in nearly all aspects but again they skimped out on the key ingredients which make it difficult to justify the cost. A Yelp check-in gets you $1 off their "famous" roasted corn appetizer but I would recommend you skip item. Whoever is picking their produce isn't doing a great job; the corn is bland and the toppings can't hide that. Other reviews mentioned new ownership and it shows. It's a tourist trap now and I guess I fell for it, oops. Staff was friendly but perhaps understaffed, you're going to have to bus your own tables before and after eating. Additionally, parking is practically non-existent and visitors should be prepared to easily 20 minutes driving around the tight neighborhood lanes. read more

AMAZING! One of the best things I ate on a short trip to Seattle. Parking can be a little rough-but it's worth it for the sandwiches!! We got the press and the Caribbean roast and I honestly don't know which one I liked better because they were both so good! The pork is so juicy and flavorful and the bread is perfectly crunchy yet soft at the same time. The sand which got pretty messy, but I didn't even care because it was so delicious! If you're ever in Seattle, this is a must try! Definitely will be back! read more

Paseo - The (#2) Paseo Press (left) and (#1) Caribbean Roast (right) - Caribbean Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Paseo lives up to the hype as the best sandwich in the US. I was skeptical at first, but their sandwich is truly the best one I've tasted so far in my life. Caribbean Roast ($10.95) - Marinated & Slow Roasted Pork Shoulder, Fresh Cilantro, Pickled Jalapenos, Caramelized Onions & Crisp Romaine. This is their uber popular sandwich that's consistently won the title as "best sandwich in America." The pork's amazing, the bread's perfect, the toppings fit right in = perfection. There's nothing I could complain about the Caribbean Roast, it's quite the messy masterpiece. Havana Seared Scallops ($10.95) - Sea Scallops pan seared in extra virgin olive oil, Garlic Tapenade, Cilantro. This is also delicious, the scallops're pretty big & they're quite generous with them! The sauce & toppings're the perfect compliment to the scallops. Paseo is just 1 of those places that you have to try at least once in your life! The seating's super limited inside and outside, but make sure to find a way to eat them there. You can't take them to-go as they'd get too soggy by then. Do be careful with the Caribbean Roast, this sandwich's super messy with juice consistently overflowing out of it. read more

Super tasty joint. Very small hole in the wall environment, which is great. It reminded my wife a lot of being in Mexico when she was young. She and I both had their star sandwich, the Caribbean Roast, and it was fabulous. Super juicy, sloppy, and enjoyable. We're looking forward to going again read more
