A nice place to get Caribbean sandwiches/bowls. I've been here just before a Mariners game and they get very busy. That's to be expected. I got the West Caribbean Bowl with roasted pork at my recent visit. The bowl is a generous serving for one person. read more

A friend of mine raved about this place. I took my daughter and two grandchildren. We had the famous Caribbean sandwich, a side of black beans, one ear, roast, corn, fries, a margarita and a cider. $88. That seems like a lot for lunch. The sandwich was very soggy. No fresh vegetables at all, just sliced roast pork and grilled onions. The taste was OK. The fries were nothing special. The cider was good. The black beans were bland. The service was excellent. Very polite and accommodating. Overall, okay but expensive food, superb service. read more

Paseo - Caribbean Roast sandwich. - Caribbean Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Paseo has a huge reputation in Seattle for their roast pork sandwiches, so I was pretty hyped to finally try their sandwich. It was a rainy Saturday around 12:30 PM and there were only a few other tables inside. Parking is a little confusing as the lot is mostly paid spaces, with only 4-5 spots dedicated to Paseo. Not sure what you're supposed to do if it gets a bit busier. Caribbean Roast (2.75/5): Unfortunately, I thought the pork was quite overcooked. It wasn't unbearably dry, but it was very chewy. That combined with the chewy bread makes for a bit of a jaw work out. Tostones (3/5): Could be crispier, but had a good amount of salt. I wish I enjoyed their sauce a little more (needed to be just amped up on all fronts a bit more), but it's not bad. read more

Paseo - Caribbean Roast!!!! - Caribbean Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I haven't had Paseos in a long time, so I decided to give it another try(perhaps location matters) .The sandwich itself wasn't as good as I remembered--felt like it was missing a bit of the flavor I used to love and a bit dry. We also got the mango habanero wings, which were spicy but still a little lacking in flavor. As for parking, it's very limited. There are only about five spots since a parking company owns most of the lot, so I'd recommend not parking there unless you plan to pay. There's a fair amount of seating if you're dining inside, which is nice. read more

The food here is SO GOOD. The sandwiches are amazing. I brought my parents who were visiting from out of town and after my dad tried his sandwich he ordered another one so he could eat it the next day. Definitely one of the best sandwiches I've had in Seattle. read more

Paseo was recommended to us by a friend. We stopped in around 3:30 on a Wednesday - there are only a handful of (free) parking spots for the restaurant. There was a baseball game going on, and the rest of the parking was $50 per spot... we drove around for a bit and waited for a car to leave. We ordered at the counter and didn't wait long for our food. We split the Steak and Swiss sandwich and the Caribbean fries. The sandwich was hot, juicy, and full of flavor! The fries were great as well - the seasoning was unique to us and we really enjoyed them. The fries are a huge portion, and it was a good thing we split our meal. There is plenty of seating inside, which was nice. The employees were all pretty young and more interested in chatting with their friends visiting them at work than patrons in the restaurant, but I would definitely return for the food! read more

During my first visit to Paseo, I indulged in their sweet chili prawn skewers, Caribbean roast sliders, and their famous roasted street corn--and everything was absolutely delicious. The Caribbean roast featured their signature slow-roasted pork, paired with fresh cilantro, tangy pickled jalapeños, caramelized onions, and crisp romaine. The pork was incredibly moist and juicy, bursting with flavor in every bite. The roasted street corn was a standout, generously coated in a luscious garlic aioli, sprinkled with Parmesan cheese, fresh cilantro, and a mix of spices. The blend of sweet and savory, paired with the bold garlic undertones, made it an unforgettable treat. The prawn skewers were perfectly cooked, glazed in a flavorful chili sauce that added just the right amount of heat and sweetness. For parking, the restaurant lot is paid, but there are free street parking options nearby if you're willing to search a bit. read more

I haven't been to a Paseo in over 10 years, and I I have to admit, I was a little concerned about the quality, price and taste when I walked in and saw the new, fancy menu and an empty restaurant. It's funny, but I didn't even consider whether the service was going to be good or bad. Now, I pride myself on being a good customer no matter where I am. From a McDonald's to an Alexander Steak House, I'm always consistent - I try to be friendly to the people who work there, I have my order ready to go when it's my turn, and if applicable, I'll even bus my table when I'm done. For that, I expect basic courtesy from my host, but the individuals at this Paseo treated me like I owed them money. No greeting upon entering, no help with the menu, and when I paused to consider the extensive set of new options, they walked away. If I were the owner of this establishment, I'd have a conversation with my staff. Their sandwiches are still great, but complacency has ruined many restaurants. BB read more

I stopped into Paseo while waiting for my car to be serviced nearby and grabbed a table for a quick bite. Service was fast and easy. I ordered the famous Cuban sandwich, and flavor-wise, it absolutely delivered. That said... it was exceptionally greasy. Maybe that's to be expected, but it definitely put me into a post-meal state I can only describe as "sloth sweating in a freezer" for a few hours, which is not my favorite vibe. I'd come back, but only on a day when I'm intentionally looking for a calorie bomb and don't have much planned afterward. Great sandwich - just be prepared for the aftermath. read more

Pretty sure there's half a pound of pork sitting in my belly still....ordered the number best seller and it was crammed full of meat, more meat than anything else. This sandwich is a mess, it's hefty and definitely worth the money. The real star of the show is the tostones, always get tostones, crispy, dense, salty, hot...dipped in aioli is perfection. Interior is clean, food comes out quick, service is prompt. read more

I love this place. I keep forgetting there's a location in sodo. So much closer than driving anywhere else. Last time I was here there was HH and service was great. I ordered a roasted corn and Alaskan cod sandy combo. I've never had the Alaskan cod before and it was soo good. A bit messy but I enjoyed it. If we didn't make HH I would have ordered the scallop because that's my favorite one. I had a good time here and the margarita I ordered was so good. Will be back preferably when there isn't a mariners game ending haha. read more

Caribbean roast and fries taste the same here as the other locations so can't complain about that. Service was quick. Restaurant has lots of seating in contrast to some of the other un bien and paseos locations I've been to but it's pretty bare bones, def nothing fancy inside. Great location within walkable proximity from T mobile stadium. Parking lot is an added plus! Do NOT get the jambalaya. It was not good and spice level 3/5 nearly blew my head off. And this is coming from someone who likes spicy food. Even if you do manage to eat it, I don't recommend it for the sake of your stomach. read more

Paseo - Paseo Jambalaya - do not get this. It was not good and was spicy enough to cause terrible heartburn/gastritis - Caribbean Near Me - Seattle, Washington

One of my favorite places for food in Seattle now! Their Caribbean roast sandwich is to die for. The meat is tender and bursting with flavor. I also tried their nachos which come with a great portion of their delicious pork, pineapple, caramelized onions, cheese, and great quality tortilla chips. One thing to note is this seems to be more of a pick-up focused restaurant so there's not much seating inside. read more

Soooooo Goooood. Late Bday lunch with my daughters. I've walked past this place for years going to games but thanks to a Yelp event I tried it & now it's a cant miss place. Very casual, plenty of indoor & outdoor seating, a Tiki Bar & Fridays are $5 margaritas & they're no joke. The staff are always so friendly fast. Now that Pecos Pit is closed, this is THE SPOT for me hands down. read more

The sandwich was worth the money you get a lot of meat but I just didn't feel the taste was in point like I remember. The meat was tender but it was not tasty. Kind of a disappointment. I think I like the original owners place. The bowl was big but not tasty for some reason it was missing something. I don't know what. We got the side of grilled onions and those were yummy. Another reason for the low rating is that parking sucks, there is only 5 small spots and the rest is paid parking. See my pictures... read more

I haven't had Paseo's in 15 years but for some reason, I was remembering all the food I miss from my college years and had a strong craving for their Cuban/Caribbean sandwich. It's still as good as I remember it and I scarfed it down in less than 5 minutes. I've never been to the SoDo location and it's such in a prime area because you can get donuts for dessert right after. The one down side is that you have to pay to park in their lot, but I guess it makes sense given their proximity to the stadiums. read more

Yesterday was my first time here. I'm from Reno and I'm visiting my daughter and her family in Seattle. She told me how yummy these sandwiches were here so we went. She was right, the Caribbean sandwich was delicious and the fries were amazing. I will be back next time I'm in Seattle, service was great too. read more

This place has plenty of seating, so you go in, order your food, then find a spot. Kind of a fast-casual place, but so good! Supposedly, according to Mr. Kenji Lopez-Alt, this is one of his favorite sandwich shops in the entire US. That's quite a bold statement from someone who loves food so much. This spot did not disappoint. I think of this sandwich sometimes. Famous Caribbean Roast - Juicy, plenty of meat, plenty of sauce. The meat is tender, falling apart, and not dry at all. To add to its' juiciness, they dip it/drench the sandwich in some liquid gold broth, and then on top of that, even add on some sauce! Combine the meat, sauce, broth, with some pickled veggies, this is honestly one of the best sandwiches I've ever had. Would consider moving to seattle to eat this sandwich once a month...or more. - Price is also super reasonable, around $14. read more

Paseo is delicious, there is no doubt to that. Those of us old heads remember it before the bankruptcy and all that jazz, and while the new owners did have to tweak some to keep the flavor the same, they've done it. Portions are still generous and the service is still great. Nice to see them expand. I will say - the ONLY thing I have ever eaten here is the caribbean roast. So I can't judge anything else, but then, why stray from the tried and true? read more

Came here for late lunch on a Thursday. They have free reserved parking spots for the restaurant! It was my first time trying Carribean sandwiches and I found them delicious!! We ordered the seared scallop sandwich and the pork belly sandwich. So good! The bread was crispy and the ingredients were hot and cooked well. The only downside was that eating them could get quite messy as the ingredients kept popping out. Nonetheless, we used our hands and enjoyed the food very well. The restaurant was spacious and clean. They offered water for self-serve. The staff was friendly. I cannot wait to come back later for dinner and cocktails! read more

If you're in SoDo and looking for the best Caribbean inspired food, then head over to Paseo on the corner of 1st Ave & Holgate. We stopped in midweek before a show at the Showbox and were able to order fast at the counter and found a table inside. We normally order one of their sandwiches, but this time we opted for the Caribbean Plato and the West Caribbean Bowl, both with the Pulled Roasted Pork. So good! Definitely recommend the pork, whether it's on a sandwich, bowl, or plate! read more

I will definitely be coming back to this restaurant to try more of their menu. Happy hour is stacked with drinks and food and they do $5 margaritas the first Friday of each month. Everything was delicious and cooked/prepared very nicely. I especially enjoyed the citrus salad with the basil dressing and the pull pork on our nachos was tender and had a bit of sweetness to it. There's plenty of seating both inside and outside. Very close to the stadiums so I'd check game schedules before you plan on making a visit. Service is easy at the counter and they had our food prepared promptly even with a busy Friday night. read more

Pros: Delicious food, good drinks, friendly staff Cons: Can get busy and parking is odd Details: We have been here a couple times and try to make it whenever in Seattle. This place is highly rated for a good reason, it is one of the best sandwiches I have ever had. We have tried a few kinds and each are incredible. They have good drinks too. The parking situation is a bit odd, I'm guessing because of the stadium? The inside is spacial and has really cool decorations in back. As mentioned, the staff are great. read more

Good flavor but I thought the sandwiches were so small for the price when it didn't come with any sides ($15 for the roast and $17 for the prawn) and had too many onions. Also very wet. The bread was completely soaked, which is a bummer for me because I like when the bread is a little crunchy. Caribbean fries were good too and I liked the seasoning. Fries were thick and long. If the sandwiches were a little bigger, I'd come back. Even though there's a big parking lot, they only have a few spots of free parking in front and the rest is paid parking read more

A classic Seattle staple. I've had it dozens of times and each time it is perfect. Paseo, you rule

This spot is definitely a more casual and low key restaurant. You walk in, order at the cashier, and sit wherever you'd like. We had to wait for our food for a bit but there were plenty of tv's to watch/pass the time. I got the Caribbean Roast Sandwich and it was SO delicious and flavorful. It was a little messy but no worries because they have hand wipes and a bunch of tissues/utensils if you need them. We also ordered the paseo press sandwich and the sweet roasted corn. Both of these were good, especially since the roasted corn was an actual cob corn, but the Caribbean roast sandwich was our favorite of the night. They also have bowl options and a bunch of different drinks. read more

We stopped for lunch at Paseo before a Seahawks pre-season game, and it was busy but not as packed as I would have expected. There were still seats available both inside and outside. I ordered the citrus salad with salmon, and it was a delicious salad. It hit on all of the right notes - a little crunchy, a little sour and a lot savory. Everyone else in my party ordered sandwiches which is what they're known for, but the salad was quite good. I don't think people spend a lot of time hanging out at Paseo, so the seats turn over quickly. It was a bit of a wait for our food to come out (maybe 15-20 minutes?), but there is a full bar. You need to buy your drinks at the cash register at the front. read more

Food - tried the tofu sandwich, which was quite good though had a bit too much onion for my preference. I really liked the vanilla and lavender tropical spritzer with oat milk and the tostones! My partner had the chicken thighs sandwich, fries, and the street corn which he liked all of. The sandwiches and corn can be messy and a bit tough to eat so plan accordingly. I can't comment on the service and ambiance as it was take out. read more

Seriously cannot get enough of the steak and swiss. Need I say more on their sweet onions? SO GOOD

I really enjoyed their Caribbean roast sandwich, roasted corn, churros and tamarind margarita. Personally I like my bread more crunchy or at least a bit crisp and it's a hit or miss if my sandwich is soggy or not. But still really really good and not quite a dealbreaker for me. Nice big and open space with good vibes and music. They got good happy hour bites too M-F during a few hours of the day. I like this location more than the Fremont one as the Fremont one is kind of small. But it's cute and cozy. There are a few spots in the lot allocated to paseo customers. Otherwise there's paid parking. But I recommend parking somewhere on the street for free and walking just a bit. read more

There were only a few parking spots, maybe 3 actual spots then 2 spots for pick up. The rest of the lot required pay to park, kind of weird since it's such a big empty lot. The inside of the restaurant was spacious with a good amount of tables and bar seating. Food: My boyfriend ordered the Caribbean roast and I ordered the paseo press. The Caribbean roast was more refreshing and not as heavy since it didn't have cheese. It did have a huge leaf of lettuce, which should have been cut more to make the sandwich easier to eat. My paseo press was delicious, I love how there was cheese and pepperoncini peppers! The meat in both of these sandwiches was soft and full of flavor! read more

West Caribbean bowl was incredible and filling! Yuca fries yum!! Nice staff very helpful!

Paseo is heaven. We typically come here before a baseball game, or randomly on the weekends if we're taking a trip to HD. The Caribbean Roast sandwich is a must. This is ridiculously messy (because it's so juicy and flavorful) so you will need a bucket load of napkins. I love it so much that I exclusively order it. My husband has eaten the West Caribbean Bowl and has also enjoyed it. We have both tried the yuca fries and the tostones which we also enjoyed but don't order them regularly. Food usually comes out pretty fast, it takes a little extra time on game days, but we've never had to wait for egregious amounts of time. They have a few dedicated parking spots, but they are almost always full, so you're gonna have to pay for parking in the parking lot. If you're not coming for a baseball game (and it's Game Day), I wouldn't bother because it's an arm and a leg to park. Their chips have this seasoning on them, I don't know what exactly is in it, but it gives them a fun flavor and goes well with your meal. And the place is super colorful, and they have plenty of outdoor seating and some select seating inside. I have also ordered from here online and pick up was pretty seamless. You will not leave hungry or disappointed! read more
