Delicious Caribbean roast sandwiches that are messy and flavorful. You need some napkins for these sandwiches. Large sandwiches, packed with meat, good spice, nice sauce, could make into two meals most likely. Their street corn is also delicious and as are their fries. I'm interested in their shrimp and scallop sandwiches but just can't get myself to order anything but the roast because it is that good. read more

Absolutely delicious Caribbean Roast Sandwich! As our friend who suggested this place said in his review from 8+ years ago it's all about the onions. I'm not sure what they did to make those stand out (especially since I'm not a huge onion fan) but dang they are good! The pork was nice and juicy and the bread was soft with a great chew from the perfectly toasted outside. read more

I went on a Sunday evening to get some sandwiches to go for dinner, recommended by a friend who brought me to Fremont. I ordered the number 1, the Famous Caribbean Roast, which the menu claims as rated "The Best Sandwich in America" - their marinated, slow-roasted pork shoulder sandwich. We also got their chips and salsa and their churros with caramel sauce. The sandwich was incredible, full of juicy meat, onions, and greens spilling out of the baguette. The chips and salsa were okay, but the churros were fantastic. We waited maybe 10-15 minutes for our order and demolished everything after we took it back to eat. I'd definitely come back and try out one of their other sandwiches. read more

Order online to pick up to avoid a long wait. This is a great fast casual place in Seattle but if you don't order ahead your will wait awhile. All ingredients are fresh and tasty. The sandwiches are good but be ready for a mess. You can order extra sauce if you like things very saucy. You don't need it though. Be sure to grab lots of napkins. The plates are great too if you want to avoid getting your hands dirty. The beans should not be missed and the fish is great and fresh. If you can't handle spice be sure to have the rice with it. read more

I got takeout here and ordered the tofu delight. Overall it was a good sandwich, but nothing super special in my opinion. Food was ready pretty quickly though. And the text reminders are helpful. read more

Paseo - #9. Tofu Delight - Caribbean Near Me - Seattle, Washington

They could have a better system for callingfor orders. Person up front was helpful in helping mute decide what to order. I'm waiting on my order number to be called #13 and I see some dude pop up and grab his order. I was confused because I ordered before him...I don't think about there was a rush of people after I ordered. So I'm waiting and waiting for my food until this dude wats more thank half his sandwich before he realizes he had someone else's order -MINE. Dude, I orders tofu and tostones NOT a chicken sandwich and fries WTF do people zone out when they eat or what? And he shared with a girl. When my prefer was remade I got a sorry (it was cool to be acknowledged). My tofu supreme sandwich was okay. Really greasy - I mean greasy and I got gross instead of the tostones which is what I really bad a taste for. The bread on the sandwich was nice - roasted with a crunch (yum) I can't say I'd make it back her - it might work for you...it works for many others. read more

Paseo's tofu one is SO good. I feel very healthy and full after one sandwich. Definitely worth it and will recommend people to try it out! read more

I believe pork is supposed to be cooked? Received a hunk of completely raw meat in our delivery order. Red sauce cod was completely flavorless. Tostones and sandwich were decent. read more

Paseo - Disgusting completely raw pork that came in our delivery order. - Caribbean Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Totally deserving of the best Sandwich award they proudly display. Worth fighting through parking. Fried plantains are a good add as well.

Overall: Delicious sandwiches, but a bit over-hyped and overpriced The good: A dang good sandwich. Piled high with juicy meat and toppings, you really can't go wrong with the original pork sandwich. Every bite was flavorful and covered in goodness (which certainly created a mess when eating, which is a good sign). The fire roasted corn was delicious as well and smothered with cheese, spices, and surely butter. Yum. The not-so-good: A hole-in-the-wall joint shouldn't cost as much as it does. $11 for a sandwich is too high unless you're getting waited on. Same goes for the $5 side of corn. Not a ton of seating if you're looking to eat right away Food/drink: 8.5/10 Service: 8.5/10 Atmosphere: 8/10 read more

Finally got to try this spot after hearing about it from my annoying coworker for years (sorry Jeff lol). It's a little bit on the dirty/greasy side but you know that's just how bomb food goes. I went with the PASEO PRESS but had a bite of my friends CARIBBEAN ROAST and both of them were super good. It was raining cats and dogs when we were here too so we ended up sharing a plate of CARIBBEAN SCALLOPS over rice and let me tell you, there's nothing like eating warm, saucy scallops over rice on a rainy ass day. We ended up coming back just to share another one of these later on in the trip lol, somehow I liked it even more than the sandwiches. read more

Once again the sandwiches in this place do not disappoint. So fresh juicy and delicious, you need 6 napkins just to eat one and they are delicious . I think the fan fare of being on a food network show has worn off , we walked in ate right away and actually got a table . The last time we where in town there was a line up around the corner . My only issue however is the washroom , I would give 5 stars for the food and staff but the washroom left me feeling like I needed a full body sanitization after I used it . After washing my hands I still felt the need to use sanitizer . Urine all over the seat and floor . Obviously someone has an issue but with the amount of customers in the washroom should have and could have been cleaned better . read more

The service was amazing and the food was spectacular! My family ordered the #1 Caribbean roast sandwich, steak and cheese sandwich, three bean trio with the pork as the protein and corn on the cob appetizer. I was so full from the corn and half of my sandwich I couldn't even taste the other stuff! But the Caribbean sandwich was super tasty and the bread was amazing! By far one of the best sandwiches I've never had! read more

I'm from Philadelphia and it's a city known for good sandwiches. I've been to places around the states that claims a good sandwich............like primanti bros' sandwich is trash. I got the #1 and man this was delicious, everything goes well together and complimented each other. The pork was tender, the caramelized onions, jalapeno and aioli sauce was a great match. I definitely want to eat it again. read more

Ya'll are confused. These sandwiches are a rip - I had ONE (maybeeee 1 and 1/2) thinly sliced scallop on my sandwich. I was drowning in large slippery pieces of onion. Put these things in foil lest onion squirt at you from impossible directions. My husband had the standard and liked it alright but also found it incredibly messy and a little bit off in the toppings department. The fry sauce is good, the flavors are good, but the execution is ICK. read more

I'm from out of town so I was surprised to find out that the 4.5 star rating did not match the actual quality and taste of the sandwiches. I was really disappointed because I had such I hopes for this place and I hate to give Paseo only two stars because the people working there are very friendly. To keep it short: We ordered the #1-Caribbean Roast and #2 Paseo Press. Despite the texture of the meat being tender, it was bland and lacked dimension in flavor. I was hoping that the garlic aioli would make up for the blandness but it also lacked in the flavor department. It made the sandwiches rather oily and the sandwiches (specially the #1) fell apart so easily. I didn't try any other sandwiches or items on their menu so maybe it was the two items I ordered that weren't too tasty. read more

Paseo - The #1 fell apart when we opened the paper wrapping. :( - Caribbean Near Me - Seattle, Washington

This will forever be my favorite place for a Caribbean sandwich!!! The #1 Caribbean roast is what I usually order and every time it keeps me coming back for more. I usually come here when I'm really hungry and because I know what I love I haven't tried much of the other items, but I think I'll have to pretty soon if I end up leaving Seattle again. read more

Wanted something different in Seattle. Paseo had a ton of reviews and haven't had Caribbean food in a while. Super tasty pork. Not a stew but not dry either. Somewhere between Hawaiian and Mexican if that makes sense. Plantains we're a must and wife got the salad with chicken which she said she was happy. Nice find. read more

Pricey & not worth the hype. Went up to order - cashier was talking to somebody despite seeing me walk up. Received no assistance for 3 minutes. Ordered chicken breast sandwich & tofu sandwich with a side of corn. Corn was the biggest waste of $5. It's pretty but tastes nothing special. It's bland. Don't know what the hype was about. Chicken breast sandwich is good, but not stuffed with enough meat. Tofu is meh. 2/5. Bad service & ok food. Will not return. read more

Paseo - Corn was awfully disappointing & not worth $5. More like $2. - Caribbean Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Excellent food! Everything I've tried here, from the sandwiches to the larger plates has been really tasty. The meats are fall-apart tender and oh-so-flavorful. The portions are quite large, so you can either split it with someone else or you'll have another meal for later. I was especially happy to see yucca fries on the menu. read more

Still top 5 eats in all my travels! Call and order ahead to avoid lines. They have not upgraded much since my last visit, I love the hole in the wall shack feel. Parking is still difficult, hit or miss. Located in the out skirts of Seattle, away from the tourist area. Caribbean Roast Sandwich - $9.95 from $8.50 in 2014 - For someone who choices beef and chicken over pork, this pork is amazing. Roasted perfectly, the marinade gives it such great flavor. Toppings make the pork taste even better. I love the onions. Perfecting between two slices of bread! read more

I tried the Caribbean Roast, which is their most popular sandwich. I thought the sandwich was okay, nothing too special. Also got a chance to try the scallops - over rice and in a sandwich The scallops over rice came with a lot of red sauce - which was just a tomato sauce. This dish could've used more rice. The sandwich however, was delicious!! The garlic sauce in it was bombbb diggity! Hands down my favorite thing here. Their bread is a bit too small though, everything falls out! Super messy I'd come back just for the scallop sandwich! read more

This place came highly recommended to me as THE place to get my Cuban sandwich fix in Seattle. While the Famous Roasted Corn was EVERYTHING (seriously I could just stuff myself with a bunch of those and be a happy clam), the sandwich itself was not worth the hype for me. I enjoy caramelized onions as much as the next person but there is an overuse of oversized onions in the sandwich, rendering the whole thing a soggy wet mess to eat. I found myself more regretting the heaviness of the sandwich then feeling happy with indulgence. That being said the corn will still have me coming back and I just need to try other items on the menu. read more

Paseo - Famous Roasted Corn #1. Caribbean Roast Sandwich - Caribbean Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I wanted to see what all the hype was about and I was already in the area so I made a stop here for lunch round 2. Yes, round 2. I'm sad to report that it didn't live up to the hype. I'm so glad I went at an off time so there was no wait. I really didn't think it's worth it to wait and drive out of your way to check this place out. I split the Caribbean Pork Sandwich with my friend. I'm so glad I did because I wouldn't have enjoyed eating the entire thing by myself. The sandwich is definitely messy so napkins and forks are required. It resembled a banh mi with the cilantro and pork. There was an uneven distribution of ingredients so some parts lacked while others had too much. In addition, tenderness and juiciness of the pork was very inconsistent. Some pieces were succulent and tender while others were dry and tougher. read more

Best sandwiches in Seattle! My husband and I ordered take out for dinner - I had the grilled chicken sandwich and he had the Caribbean Roast - both were incredible! We also shared the grilled corn. Service was great, staff were friendly, and the little restaurant itself was super cute! Thanks guys! read more

Simplified Review at The Bottom. I've heard a lot about this place, whether it was food blogs, food videos, or word of mouth. I'm always a bit skeptical about highly praised restaurants but I think it's fair to say that this one definitely hits. I had two lunches before having paseo so, I didn't have that hunger bias that can sway one's taste buds into loving anything. So, this was as fair as fair can be. I ordered the famous Caribbean Roast and a side of fries. And I have no regrets. The sandwich was incredible, probably the best sandwich I have had so far. The roast was incredibly meaty and juicy. The pickled jalapenos were a needed element also. They had the acidity to cut down on the meaty flavor creating a synergy that I believe ratatouille tried to teach me as a kid(The cheese and grape scene). The side of fries provided kept the meal interesting as it acted as a good side of crunch for a texture change up. I highly recommend a try at this spot. Atmosphere: N/A I didn't have a chance to experience in-door dining due to COVID. Food: 5/5 Just amazing the Caribbean Roast was everything I could ask for meaty, juicy, tender, and the acidity of the jalapenos were very good. Good portions and the sandwich was a bit messy. Service: 5/5 They were nice and the order got out relatively quickly. read more

Wow! Amazing sandwiches!! The Caribbean roast was 10/10. Kid friendly and really affordable for a family dinner out.

So disappointed! But that's what I get for cheating on the real Paseo. This one does not even come close. The original owners are now over at Un Bien. We lived in Ballard for years and were fairly frequent patrons of Un Bien. We now live on Westlake and the Fremont Paseo is much closer, so we thought we'd give that a try. Big mistake. I'll never cheat on Un Bien again! Even if it is further away for me now. The Press was an attempt at the original, but falls short. They went way too light on the aioli, and the aioli that was on there was lacking in flavor. Meat was decent. Caramelized onions were good. But the thick slice of cheese was hardly melted. The corn on the cob was an absolute joke. Their steak sandwich doesn't even compare to the one at Un Bien. Not to mention the wait time. There was no line to get the order in, but it took way too long to get food and seemed like our order was skipped over several times. (Not a large one - 2 sandwiches and corn) In the time we waited, I probably could have driven to Un Bien, ordered there, got my food, and driven back. One extra star because they put a couple wet wipes in the to-go bag. That was nice. But, I'm sticking with Un Bien. read more

You like this place? Go to the original - "UN BIEN" down across from Ray's boathouse. Ryan you may be rich buying the name in 2014 however the sandwiches are just not the same. Stopped by today - and got a burnt Chicken sandwich. The bread was black - and the flavor isn't there. You may have gotten the name but didn't get the recipes. Do not be fooled by this second place sandwich go to the orginial. read more

Had the flagship sando. While tasty, it was one of the messiest sandwiches I've ever eaten which detracted from the whole experience. I wanted this to blow my mind and it was just all right. Will be back to try other stuff, super good vibes inside! read more

One of the best sandwiches you'll eat in Seattle. Incredible service as well from a tremendously friendly staff.

Good service and amazing food! Great for a picnic and backyard social. It is a must when visiting seattle or a local.

Wow....what a sandwich!! If you're looking for a quality sandwich to eat in Seattle, Paseo's does the trick. Known for their Caribbean sandwiches, you'd be foolish to NOT order one!! The place is tiny ~ only a few tables inside the place. It gets really compact with the demand for their sandwiches out the door..literally. I wish there was more seating inside. There are benches outside but when it's freezing, that's not really an option. The service is quick!! I had to order their most famous sandwich, the Caribbean Roast, which comes with pork shoulder. The way that they marinated the meat is tremendous. It's juicy and delicious. I don't think they are lying when they say their meat is "succulent". You don't have to worry about the meat being dry at all. Beware though...it's not a neat meal. You will get your hands dirty since the juice just oozes out of the sandwich. It's a pretty messy meal but tastes so good! I'll definitely be back! read more

Paseo - Caribbean Roast (pork shoulder) - Caribbean Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Omg... after hearing about this place from many locals I FINALLY tried it and it does indeed live up to its reputation. I got there around 2pm on a Sunday afternoon be was expecting a huge line but there were only 3 people ahead of me. The only downside is that seating is very limited. I ended up bringing it home to enjoy it. I got the Caribbean roast sandwich and shared with my bf. It was so juicy and I ate it with some peppers I had at home. I definitely will be back to enjoy other dishes. Parking is street parking only. read more

Everything about this place is a YES. Their sandwiches are to die for. I always get the Caribbean Roast or the Paseo Press. So juicy and delicious. The onions. Oh, the onions. I could eat those all day. Everything about this sandwich is *chef's kiss*. They are so filling and satisfying. You can also go for a bowl to skip the bread if you're GF. read more

I mean, for a buy one get one free deal, this was a steal. The churros were delicious on their own, and I would say that they were even better eaten without the dipping sauce. The rice bowl was also great, with the meat being super tender and flavorful. There was just enough in the bowl to keep every bite exciting and flavorful. Overall, loved everything about this place! read more

My boyfriend and I shared 2 sandwiches. He had the Caribbean roast with roasted pork, but the star was the Paseo press - roasted pork with banana peppers, draped smoked ham, Swiss cheese, and caramelized onions. I highly recommend the Paseo press if you're a fan of Cubano sandwiches. It had similar flavor and ingredients, but on a whole different level and so much better. The flavor was so elevated, in the middle of my first bite my eyes widened in awe, and all I could say was wow. There was no shortage of meat - it was flavorful and juicy, and the bread was hefty enough to carry its weight without falling apart. Probably one of the tastiest sandwiches I've ever had. Expensive for a sandwich in their type of setting, but I'm not even mad. The Paseo press was $11.50 but totally understandable. The sandwich was so huge and had thick layers of meat and cheese. I could only eat half, so I made two meals out of it! It's a nice location in a friendly neighborhood, and close to the Fremont Troll if you're a tourist in Seattle. read more

Paseo used to be one of my favorite sandwich places in Seattle, and they had an amazing Cuban sandwich. I have been gone for a while and I don't know what happened. I asked if they had a Cuban sandwich and they said yes. Whatever I was served was not a Cubano with pork, ham, cheese and pickle that Paseo was known for. The citrus salad had potential. The dressing had no kick. On the positive note, the tostones were pretty good. So sorry that Paseo is not what it used to be. Qué pena!! read more

I really wasn't expecting much out of sandwiches but damn, I was wrong! Paseo is a really small eatery with only about 3-4 little tables crammed inside. It looks a little run down but don't let this deter you. I ordered the popular #1 Caribbean Roast ($10.95). Even when you get your order, the sandwich looks pretty ordinary but the flavor burst is absolutely phenomenal. The baguette comes lightly toasted with marinated pulled pork served with the normal fixins of garlic aioli, jalapenos, cilantro and romaine lettuce. Sandwich is served hot and you'll see the steam coming out as you eat. *Warning: can be messy to eat so grab a few extra napkins and a fork. Street parking only but it wasn't tough to find on a weekday for lunch. read more

I swear when our Uber driver dropped us off, I thought he just left us in the middle of the street. We walked up and down the road to try and find this place, but it was literally in front of our face. To me it seemed a little hidden. But I'm glad we finally made our way inside. This little place barely seats any one, so I highly suggest just grabbing your food on the go. Although the place is cramped the food was delicious! Most definitely recommend getting their signature sandwich. It's jam packed with lots of meat, so no doubt every bite won't disappoint you. The sautéed onions were a great compliment to the sandwich as well, but the only down side was that the slipperiness of the onions made the sandwich fall apart. After a few bites it looked like an open faced sandwich because everything was just falling apart. None the less it was very tasty, even if I had to eat it with a fork The shrimp plate was mehhhh, that's guna be a hard pass for me. It came with rice, a side salad, and a side of beans. There was probably only 6 pieces of shrimp in that huge tray so the ratio was a little off to me. There wasn't any thing particularly special about it, so stick with the sandwich! read more
