Paseo - Caribbean Near Me - Seattle, Washington

The sandwiches had really good flavors and were seasoned well. The pickled jalapeños added a good cut for the richness of the meat and cheese as well as a slight kick! We got the beef and swiss and the caribbean roast which were both solid sandwiches. Just wish we got a little more fries in the order which were really crispy and well seasoned! read more

Paseo was one of my favorite spots and high recommendations in Seattle. Although their prices have increased over the years, the food remained top notch. However I was a bit disappointed by my last visit. We got alaskan cod sandwich, west Caribbean bowl, rice and beans trio, yuca fries, and side nachos. The rice and beans were honestly kind of sad looking, mediocre in taste, and not worth $13. The sandwich lived up to its expectation but the bread was honestly pretty thick and not in proportion with the meat. what blew my away was the size of the bowl we got. It was also really flavorful and good. Two people could easily have eaten that. The yuca fries were really good but only came with a handful, not enough to share. Seems like shrink flation in effect for some dishes. you really got to make sure you're getting the best bang for your buck here as not all their dishes are consistent. There's only a few tables available to eat at inside and street parking which can get competitive. read more

This place is amazing, so much flavor. Great food and atmosphere. Cool bar section in the back. I'm coming back.

Paseo is definitely a place that was on my bucket list when I was in Seattle. And I'm really glad I got a chance to eat some when I was there. They're pretty much well known for their Award Winning Carribean Roast Sandwich, which is like $14, and for sure I needed to try it out. I ordered it to go, and they were pretty much ready within like 5 minutes which was really fast. I loved the different toppings and textures that the sandwich has, and it honestly looked super satisfyingly tasty when you eat it fresh. I thought everything overall was pretty good and the pork was really tender. My only thing is that I wish the meat was seasoned a bit more and I would of felt like this would been a bigger hit for me. If I'm back, I'll definitely try the other sandwiches out from the menu. But nonetheless, it was a great sandwich overall and I would recommend you come to try this place out in the International District! read more

Paseo - Carribean Roast Sandwich - Caribbean Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Yo Paseo, you are real delicioso. Known for their Caribbean sandwiches, they also serve bowls, salads, and breakfast items! We came on a tuesday morning right when they opened, and their store was already piled with catering/to go orders. A simple, unpretentious, no frills store, Paseo is here for good food and bold flavors. We ordered their Famous Caribbean Roast sandwich featuring their slow roasted pork shoulder and boy was it good. Tender, well-seasoned, juicy, it checks all the boxes. The sandwich was loaded with caramelized onions, which I loved. Simple, bold, tasty, there's a reason this place is well beloved. A solid option for a quick lunch or a picnic at the park! read more

Paseo - famous caribbean roast pork - Caribbean Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I love the caribbean roast from here! The bread is chewy and crunchy, the pork is so flavorful and the roasted onions give a great sweet caramel flavor. My one complaint is that these sandwiches are always so messy! I always end up eating two open faced sandwiches to minimize the mess. The fries were fresh, but that is as far as my compliments go. They were decent fries but nothing special. The sauce they came with (garlic aioli?) was pretty good though! Probably would not order this again though. This place is very casual and mostly a self-serve restaurant with minimal seating. Most people only come for takeout! read more

I had really high expectations for the sandwiches here after hearing about it from a friend and reading the reviews. The roasted pork was delicious. However, the bread took away from all the good stuff inside. - Paseo Press - the roasted pork was delicious but the bread was too thick and it was saucy causing everything to slide out. The bread also wasn't very soft so it didn't tear apart easily when taking a bite. - Grilled Pork - good but I preferred the roasted pork and it has the same bread issue - Caribbean fries - hot, crispy, and deliciously seasoned. - Tostones - pretty good but I couldn't eat more than 1. The in-store menu was not working when we went so we had to order based on their website photos. It would have been helpful for newcomers like us if there was a description of each sandwich so we knew what was inside and the differences. The neighborhood looked cute and it was easy to find. There is limited seating inside along with outdoor tables. Service was fine. read more

The food is very good but like most places now a day...cost as much as a restaurant dinner.

Cute little restaurant with quite a small interior. There are a couple of tables and seats inside as well as outside the storefront. There's also a restroom inside. Went in on a Sunday afternoon and there was only a couple of people waiting for orders. Caribbean Roast Sandwich: Decided to try this sandwich to see what all the hype was about. It was delicious! The pork was tender and well seasoned. The bread was moist with a good amount of sauce inside. However, do not mistake this as a good on-the-go sandwich like I did. It was very messy to eat on-the-go. The paper wrapping it got greasy real quick and the sauce was spilling from each bite. It was annoying that the paper wrapping kept sticking to the grease on the bread, making it hard to peel off in order to eat the sandwich. I'd go in to try this sandwich again or even another item off the menu! read more

Paseo - Caribbean Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Went on a Caribbean sandwich spree recently so I had the chance to weigh sandwiches against each other and compare. Paseo is a really good spot, but I felt like there could be some small improvements. Review is based on their famous, best #1 - the Caribbean Roast. I ate my sandwich in store, but they were very willing to separate the contents and bread so I could take home a deconstructed sandwich that wouldn't get soggy for my family. My brother mentioned that Paseo shut down and reopened, but the original owner opened a new shop so that was interesting to note. Starting with the pros, there's a hefty amount going for it. For $12.50, this sandwich offers a lot of food. Great portion, great price, great value. You get an excessive amount of meat to the point where it's literally impossible to eat the sandwich without meat falling off, I'm pretty sure some falls off as you lift the sandwich because they over stack it. If you had extra bread, you would make two solid sandwiches using the contents of one. Strong foundation in their toasted baguette which does not get quickly soggy and absorbs the juices from the meat as well as the vegetables. Additionally, they were accommodating by putting the bread on the side for my to-go orders that I wanted to bring home for my folks. I ate a sandwich in person as is. However, with that extensive list, there are some things that I felt were lacking. As great as the baguette was at holding flavor, the garlic aioli was negligible if even slathered on. There's a great amount of flavor already, but I know the garlic would have enhanced the overall sandwich. I also felt that the pork was a little rough - juicy and somewhat tender, but not as tender as it could be especially compared to other slow roasted pork. Lastly, the seating situation here is underwhelming as there are five tables and Paseo is extremely popular. read more

As a person of Eastern European heritage, the offings of grilled pork and scallop sandwiches are irresistible.And they take pride in their great sandwiches. Been here many times. Some of my favorites. Pork shoulder sandwich, love the combination of cuban roast plato: pork shoulder, black beans, jasmine rice, corn cob, side salad of beets, cabbage, romaine. I liked the variety of tastes to try. The pork was delicious, To contrast the juicy meat, the sandwich also had pickled veggies, caramelized onions and lettuce to add crunchy aspect to the sandwich. Scallop sandwich was so good. I particularly love scallops and the sauce and sandwich had a nice combination of favors. Chicken thighs sandwich has some great tender and moist chicken. Red beans and rice had a likable smoky flavor. The seasonal grilled corn was excellent. This place offers bare bones ambience. You order and sit at shared table. This is not a bad thing, everyone there is in an elevated state of bliss eating their food. So a great crowd to enjoy your food with. Polite service is a plus, as they are very busy. read more

Best sandwich ever! We ordered delivery but I look forward to going to the restaurant on my next visit to Seattle.

Tasty, messy sandwiches. Yummy yucca fries. Great Happy Hour specials like tostones and churros. Indoor or outdoor seating. Counter service. Recommend. read more

A definite must try at least once! They're Classic Caribbean roast sandwich is delicious, packed with pork and topped with pickled jalapeño and wide cut grilled onions. Accompany it with their seasoned fries which are served with a garlic aioli and you really can't go wrong!!

Staff is polite and welcoming. Restaurant is neat and clean and the sandwiches are very good value for the money and of course very tasty.

Spectacular sandwiches. My buddies and I come back here to catch up and have a great lunch. Can't go wrong with any of their sandwiches!

Ordered the famous caribbean roast and paseo press and I must say they were one of the best sandwiches I have ever tasted. I enjoyed the caribbean roast more as I felt like the meat was more tender than the paseo press. My friend liked the paseo press more though because she really liked how the cheese added more flavor and creaminess to the sandwich. I wasn't a huge fan of how big the onions were. I wished there was an option to have minced grilled onions instead. Although the sandwiches were good and had a lot of flavor, it was messy to eat and was a bit too oily. read more

The food is consistently great. Service is quick and I go out of my way to have a Cubano sandwich every now and then

This place is amazing. We love their sandwiches. Every-time we are in the area we have to make a quick stop at Paseo . Highly recommend it

The sandwiches at Paseo's quite literally haunt my dreams - I'm obsessed with them. Personally I love sandwiches but I'm never gonna go out of my way to get a sandwich, but this place is an exception. Every single component of these sandwiches is done so perfectly and combine together to create the ultimate experience. Located in Fremont, Paseo's is a small little shop with ample street parking (I never have too much difficulty finding a close place to walk). My friends and I love coming here for a sandwich to go, and bringing it to gasworks for a little picnic! During my most recent stop here, I got the famous Caribbean Roast (always my go-to), and the Nachos, which I've never tried before. Friendly tip for those coming is to get A LOT of napkins. These sandwiches are a bit on the messy side so always be sure you have napkins! As per usual, I was incredibly pleased by my sandwich - whether it's the juicy pork or the onions, everything tasted great! Personally, I would pass on the Nachos next time - something about it kinda reminded me of when I was a kid and I would put chips and shredded cheese in a microwave and call that Nachos. Definitely not a bad thing, but just not something I'd really go out of my way to purchase. Anywho, if you're looking for a great sandwich, or an idea for picnic food, I highly recommend trying out Paseo's! read more

Paseo - Caribbean roast and Nachos! - Caribbean Near Me - Seattle, Washington

As I'm sitting at home in CA writing this review I'm currently dreaming of their Caribbean Roast Sandwich and Caribbean Corn! This place is nestled in a small neighborhood, just find street parking and you're good. There's about 3-4 tables inside and they do ask to see proof of vaccination. Caribbean Roast Sandwich: 10/10! (Their #1 item) OMG, these sandwiches are pretty big. If you're not someone who eats a lot I'd recommend sharing this with someone else so you can leave space to try other food. The sauce was EVERYTHING! The roast pork was so tender, I loved the mix of green salad with some tangy jalapeños, to the grilled onions! Everything was made to perfection and I just enjoyed every bite. Famous Roasted Corn: 10/10 THIS IS A MUST! It comes with 2 corn on the cobs and the corn was so sweet! The garlic aioli sauce mixed with all their other spices made this so good. So happy to have tried this gem in Seattle. Can't wait to be back to have this again. Enjoy! read more

Disappointing and completely mediocre. There are way better sandwich shops in Seattle. This place likely gets foot traffic because of its location. Ordered their chicken thigh sandwich which was a total rip off - zero smokiness, their meat to bread ratio is terrible, you're basically paying for just carbs and a a lot of empty fillers like veggies and condiments. The chicken was tasteless and dry with zero smokiness. Their seasoning is always lacking and they are super skimpy on the sauce. They constantly overdo the onions which is what you end up eating with each bite (onion and bread), I can honestly make a much better sandwich at home at half the price. Hilariously overpriced - for gods sake please just head to Un Bien or better yet Tub's Gourmet Sandwich for the real deal, where they have balanced flavors and pack more protein at reasonable prices. This place is a huge no thanks for me, as there's zero focus on taste or flavors. I don't recommend. read more

I am officially floored! The food is delicious ++++! We have eaten coast to coast, north to south, and the Caribbean. I can say the food we had, the Caribbean Sandwich, the Pork belly Sandwich, and a tofu (yes tofu) sandwich were so satisfying. Now let's talk French fries, have you ever had fries with a breath of sugar and maybe a wish of cinnamon? Well get ready! One order easily serves 2 and don't forget the garlic sauce they give you as a dip. Makes no sense, but it works. Parking is on the street, limited seating, but sufficient. Wish I lived closer, or maybe not!?!? read more

Huge sandwiches and delicious drinks. Also, the sandwiches were well seasoned and fresh. Friendly and helpful staff.

TL;DR: 2022 Paseo's is not as good as you remember it From 2012-2017, I used to travel to Seattle 3-4x a year so that meant I used to eat Paseo's 3-4x a year. This trip, it took a couple beers in Ballard but I eventually faced my fears in the fact that Paseo's is no longer a 'must eat' of Seattle. The Caribbean Roast sando feels like it can't decide what it wants to be: the flavor tastes watered-down but the texture is dry and stringy The one thing keeping the sandwich from entirely bottoming out is the onions. Paseo has always had great onions in my past visits and the recipe and technique seem to have lasted. - Of note, the sandwich used to overflow with onions and jalapenos. Now it's a small handful of onion strips (?) and no jalapeno - period. If I were heading to Fremont brewing and hadn't had any food, I'd still stop at Paseos. I just wish I was as stoked to crush their sandos as I used to be :/ **Disclaimer - amenities not factored into rating** The seating area and parking are both unchanged - that is to say, small and nonexistent, respectively. read more

Ordered takeout from Paseo and got the Tofu Delight and Onion Obsession Sandwiches, plus some yucca fries and tostones. It was delicious and I'm so grateful for the vegetarian options! I'd probably skip the tostones next time. I really wanted to try the famous roasted corn but it wasn't an option on online ordering for some reason. Maybe next time! read more

Paseo has always been a staple eating out diet. When I'm not making my own sandwich, I'm getting one at Paseo. I much prefer the Paseo Press ($15) over their more-popular Carribean Roast ($13) but you can't go wrong wither either. Service has never been an issue for me. i order over the phone and my order's always ready when I get there (10-15 min later). I recommend doing this as well to save yourself the potential long wait in line (it does get crazy on sunny summer days). Ambiance wise, this is a hole-in-the-wall spot and there's nothing wrong with that. A few spaces inside to eat as well as outside, but I'd recommend taking the sandwich to greenlake and enjoying the views there while you eat your paseo press! read more

Paseo's is a small Cuban/ Caribbean restaurant serving up exquisite sandwiches and traditional plates. This location is quite small with just a few tables inside but they do have outdoor seating for overflow. For my first visit, I opted to go with the #1 Famous Carribean Roast ( their most well known sandwich) and was not disappointed. The sandwich was composed of nicely toasted bread and overflowing with slow roasted pork shoulder that was tender and juicy. To contrast the juicy meat, the sandwich also had pickled veggies, caramelized onions and lettuce to add a nice crunch. Outside of the food, the service was great as I received my sandwich fairly quickly and was attended to a couple of times during my short visit. Give Paseo's a try if you're looking for a famous 'hole in the wall' sandwich spot with excellent sandwiches read more

We visited Paseo in July. The payment server was down so they had to take down our credit card info and charge us later. Once the payment posted, we noticed that they charged us the incorrect amount- $10 extra. It's been 2 weeks and we've inquired twice. Amount still hasn't been corrected. Checked in for the free Cuban coffee, but they said that they didn't have any coffee available even though it was within the redeemable hours. As for the sandwiches, we ordered the Caribbean roast sandwich and the scallop sandwich. The Caribbean sandwich was pretty good and fully loaded- very hearty and able to split. We weren't impressed by the scallop sandwich and the serving wasn't as generous. Tip: Eat your sandwich right away because they were already getting soggy once we got our order & double check your receipt!! read more

Mmmm mmm mmm.. nothing completes a visit to Seattle like a visit to the original Paseo in Fremont! Gone are the days of the longest lines out the door.. I think the opening of multiple locations and other Cuban sandwich shops killed the exclusiveness of being able to score a paseo sandwich. But the location still looks and feels the same.. and the sandwich still tastes like the original deliciousness. Hot, messy, juicy., Midnight Cuban Roast! The only sandwich I'll ever order here. We were able to order right when we walked in and there was one 1 other party sitting at a table dining in the whole time we were there. Enjoyed the sandwich.. it brought back so many memories of summers spent waiting in line here. read more

Spent about a week in Seattle on a foodie vacation, and I'm surprised (and also pleased) to say that a Caribbean/Cuban sandwich place ended up being the best place to check out. My brother, cousin, and I had the Caribbean Roast, the Paseo Press, and the Grilled Pork Loin, and they were all delicious. To be absolutely honest, if you had to tell me to pick these apart from each other -- I wouldn't be able to, but they all had distinct flavors, and my cousin (who's a VERY picky eater) gobbled it down. Aside from the sandwiches, you can also order churros that come with a caramel dipping sauce. Each order comes with six, and the cool thing is they're already filled. They're awesome and give Disneyland's a run for their money. Pretty sure the lemonades are just flavored with syrups, so they're nothing to write home about. Paseo is a way's away from Downtown Seattle, so if you don't have a car this is a place I'd definitely recommend ride sharing to. Once you're there, at least for now, they're still following COVID protocol. You gotta be masked when you make your order, and while there's no indoor dining, there are two tables outside and the people working do a good job making sure that at least paying customers have been seated. I'll definitely be back here during my next trek to Seattle! read more

Amazing Cuban sandwich!! I moved out of state so I am heartbroken that I can't have my favorite sandwich anymore.

We love this place so much that it's now a ritual for us after the monthly Zoo visit. The sandwiches are packed with flavor and grease (in a good way)! read more
