My daughter and her wife took me here prior to the Metallica concert and it was GOOD! It was their signature sandwich (grab extra napkins!!) and we shared an order of fries. Highly recommend a visit here, you wont be disappointed. read more

I didn't know Paseo opened another store. The third store is located in SoDo. I visited early at 11:30AM to avoid any possible big crowds for lunch. I ordered #1 Famouse Carribean Roast, #2 Paseo Press, and #3 Grill Pork. I had to wait more than 15 minutes to get my order because they seemed to have many orders coming in from food delivery services app (guessing - UberEats, Postmate, etc.) Sandwich was decent - I think it should definitely be - considering the price I paid for the sandwich. Could be better if the sandwich is not too greasy - it was almost soaked in oil. Parking is a big problem there because they only have a few designated parking spaces for the customers. I had to wait quite a while until someone left the store. read more

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

When they first opened, the transition from the Paseo on Shilshole hadn't been smooth, and the food was inconsistent. Fortunately, those days are in the past ... The Caribbean Roast sandwich is the thing to order (yes, they have other good items) -- it is the dish that made them famous, the one that keeps me coming back. Roast pork, onions, greens (some kind of lettuce), mayo and jalapeños ... on a baguette -- it's just a superior sandwich. Be aware that their parking is very limited ... there is on-street parking, and lots of paid parking, but if there's an event at one of the stadiums, you can pretty much forget it. To go service is fairly efficient and pleasant. As for indoor dining ... there is good separation between the tables -- so better than many places, but I'm still not yet willing to dine indoors while COVID-19's Delta variant is generating so many cases each day in King County - you may make a different choice. read more

Service is good, got our food fast. We tried #1&2 and both were amazing. One fry order it sharing size for two. Use the mustard dip for the sandwich! read more

Paseo - sandwich #1#2 IPA and fries - Caribbean Near Me - Seattle, Washington

They say they are the best sandwich place, but i would say they are cheating. Their food is perfectly cooked dinner thrown on some bread. Don't pass up on the fries either, they are downright amazing with that seasoning coating. I would love to eat this all day. I would give this place a 10 out of 5 i like it so much. Note: The location is in an industrial area where people park to go see events at the stadiums. What a madhouse. Parking could cost you. read more

I went this past Saturday evening with some friends. We were excited to hear that they have a tiki bar in the back of the restaurant. I have to say I was super disappointed with the bar. It has this weird neon lighting pared with ocean blue walls. I ordered a tiki drink that you have to share with at least one other person due to the amount of alcohol and it was a big let down. In the advertisement for the drink, there's a picture of fire coming from the drink (I live for setting cocktails on fire). When the bartender lit the drink on fire, it barely made a spark. On top of that, the drink was ok at best for $25 dollars. I ordered the traditional Carribean sandwich and it was amazing as always. I'll be back for the sandwich but they can keep the tiki bar. read more

Paseo - Caribbean Near Me - Seattle, Washington

With my time in Washington dwindling down I've had to seriously make a list of must go places for food before moving and I've heard so many great things about Paseo over the years that this place had to be on my list. I was dreading but expecting a long wait and a line out the door but I was pleasantly surprised when that was not the case. Also I remember years back my bestie told me it was cash only so I'm happy to see they now accept cards too because let's be honest most days who just has big amounts of cash on them, shoot you're lucky if I have more than a dollar cash on me at any given point. I like swiping my card and I enjoy places that allow me to use my card. But anyways back to my point so they take cards and no line! Win in my book. Our order didn't take too long either my husband went with the scallop sandwich, I went with their popular Caribbean Roast which is named the #1 sandwich in America according to their menu and then got the steak and cheese for my son. I loved the spice on the sandwiches and the sautéed onions but the Caribbean roast sandwich to me was just ok, my least favorite was surprisingly the scallop sandwich it was just missing something and too fishy. The highlight for me was the steak and cheese, I wanted to take my sons sandwich after trying it, it was a winner dir sure and I'd come back specifically for that one. Also their Jamaica and yea were horrible! We didn't get ice but they were pretty warm, like they'd been sitting out all day and the flavor of the tea tasted like it had been steeped too long and no sugar and the Jamaica had no sweetness to it either which I've never had. The fries were a huge portion so worth the $5 but the seasoning and the garlic aioli they came with were not my favorite. Service was extremely nice though snd the steak and cheese would have me coming back over and over. I'm still happy I got to try this place out after all these years and the hype. read more

Hands down the best meal in Seattle. It's strange southern food in Seattle. Heard about their pork sandwiches but we got the Jambalaya with 3 spice level (5/5). Please be mindful 3 spice level was spicy for us (I can tolerate spice very well). With each bite I was feeling the spice but could not stop finishing the bowl. This gives a hint at the flavor profile. The corn was amazing as well (5/5) creamy, sweet and spicy ( A must item). Finally the lettuce wrap Tofu Delight (4/5), the tofu was cooked well with a bit of spiciness. Overall a great place in Seattle downtown. read more

If you're unfamiliar with the flavor associated with the menu items at Paseos then let me be the first to tell you that this place is delicious! My go to here is the West Carribean Bowl with extra jalapeños!!! The sandwiches are long written about and probably the staple of the place but the Bowls are something to be rivaled! Make sure to use extra napkins when you eat here cause it will leave some flavor on your hands! read more

Its been a long time since I've eaten at the Paseos in Fremont. I'm glad I stopped in to this location to get a reminder of just how tasty their food is. SO MANY FLAVORS AND TEXTURES. There are so many options on the menu. I opted for the vegetarian red sauce tofu which was so deeply satisfying and garlicy. The jasmine rice and corn on the cob added a nice touch. The black beans were way too smoky for my taste, but the salad with strips of beets was a hit. When you combined all of this is when the magic happened and was sustained over the course of the meal. My partner's plate was also enjoyable and he calls out the sausage as being particularly good. AN ENVIRONMENT WHERE THE FOOD SHINES. This area of Seattle isn't the most lovely though you're close by the stadium which helps you feel secure. Parking on the street wasn't a problem to find. Once inside, the staff was nice and we could seat ourselves after ordering. Much appreciation for all the utensils and packaging being compostable. All of this was such a solid backdrop to our experience it was easy to sit and enjoy the meal. read more

All I can say is wow! I'm not a fan of sandwiches but I'm a fan of this sandwich! The pork was so tender and the onions and all the flavors together were perfect! I was about to order a side of fries and I thought I bet this sandwich is very filling and big. I was right! I was still full 5 hours later. I'll be back! read more

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

Highlights: - Potentially great Caribbean food, but the inconsistency hurts at the price - Be aware of the parking, it's right next to a paid lot The Paseo in Fremont has been a Seattle restaurant landmark for many years, and since its sale a few years back, they've been able to open new locations, this location in SoDo being the most convenient for me to get to. Unfortunately, despite reaching the same highs with some of the old recipes, they fail to hit the consistency of their predecessor, which hurts given that it's still a trip out to SoDo and you're paying a pretty penny each trip. Their Caribbean Roast remains one of the best sandwiches I've ever had, but the meat is occasionally sometimes dry, or the onions simply not caramelized as much. Their beans, once typically full of rich tropical juice flavors, is often lacking in sweetness. This inconsistency runs through most of their menu items, being incredibly lackluster just as often as they nail a home run. It could be growing pains, but I find myself not coming to this Paseo as much as I'd have hoped. read more

Ordered from here three times already and love how original tasting and consistently delicious it is. We always order #4 and #5 with the Caribbean fries because of how well the chicken works with the cilantro, caramelized onions, and crispy romaine. The first two times were ordered through Doordash and yesterday was my first time going to this location. The restaurant was easy to find, and 30 minute parking is provided for those picking up these goodies. Looking forward to try their Caribbean Roast when I come back! read more

The first item on the sandwich board is a called a Famous Caribbean Roast and was tagged "Rated Best Sandwich in America", so I scanned no more and order it out of curiosity. It was ready in less than 5 minutes and came out all wrapped up. It was very juicy and there was a lot of pork...you'll def get your protein fix. It had a layer of Romaine lettuce and huge onions throughout. There wasn't too many jalapeños. It was so huge and juicy I needed a fork. Break surprisingly stayed in tact. It kind of felt like the Hawaiian dish Kalua Pork but in a sandwich. Overall really good. Only markdown was due to eatability and only 6 free parking spots. Huge lot had a lot of parking but you have to pay. I ended up parking on the street. read more

I had to stop by and finally try their famous Caribbean roast sandwich, and I'm glad it didn't disappoint! It was insanely juicy, be prepared to use a bunch of napkins. The flavor was amazing and the added lettuce and caramelized onions added even more flavor. The service and location were also really nice and had plenty of parking and indoor seating! read more

Gimme that red sauuuuuuuuuuce. I'm a vegetarian and I adore this place. Flavors on point.

Holy crap so good. Got the fish sandwich (cod) and it was incredible. Messy. So glad I didn't modify beyond nixing onions. The scallop sub was heavy on the onion and low on the scallop. They don't answer the phone for car-side pickup. read more

First time trying Paseo, been to Un Bien several times. #1 Caribbean sandwich was good, nice caramelized onions. I prefer the Un bien bread better, great tasty sandwich but not as good as Un Bien. I have to agree with the Eater guy. Tried the West Caribbean bowl, I think I wanted the red sauce Plato. Shrimp was undercooked. Good flavor. Brought it home to cook the shrimp. Skip the elote corn if doing take out. Good place to grab sandwiches before games. Spacious dining areas. read more

I'm not one to go out of my way for sandwiches but that Caribbean Roast really does something to you. Very large sandwich wedged with an extremely hefty serving of the most tender Pork shoulder I've ever had. I could probably get away with not chewing it if I didn't have to get through the bun. This is definitely a shareable portion but I wouldn't advise bringing a first date here seeing that it WILL get messy. I also appreciated the huge chunks of sauteed onion in this sandwich because I adore onions in any form and they were so generous with this helping. I would say the flavor was just a bit lacking. I was expecting it to have a punch but I was just a bit underwhelmed. The tostones were delicious!! I love plantains and anything with heavy starchy carbs in general so this was right up my alley. Tasted great with the aioli. Not sure if this is the number 1 sandwich in America but it has the potential to be. Worth checking out and I will be back. read more

The drinks were advertise 5 dollars but then they said that ended at 9 that didn't say in the menu so fuck this place and there cup of ice read more

I think Paseo's in SoDo is good. I've never been to their Fremont location. The restaurant is pretty easy to get to, but be careful where you park. There are only five free spaces (north side of building, near the front door). The rest are part of a private parking lot, so you will have to pay. There is also some street parking available. I ordered the #1 Famous Caribbean Roast sandwich. It tasted good and the meat was tender. It was a little too spicy for me, so next time I will ask them to hold the jalapenos. The bread was ok, but it was difficult to chew because it was so thick. The sandwich was also really messy to eat, but luckily they had napkin dispensers on every table. I also ordered the Tostones (fried plantains with chipotle aioli). It was cooked/presented well, but I just didn't like the dish as much as I thought I would. Next time I will try their Famous Roasted Corn instead. The lady who took our order was nice and we received our food quickly (although it wasn't busy when we were there). The interior is pretty big. They have several tables and a nice counter with seats where you can watch TV. They also have a nice outdoor area with seating. read more

This place was highly recommended from friends that are locals. I didn't even get to enjoy my sandwich because it came barely cut in half. I asked the employee for a knife to cut the sandwich explaining how I received the sandwich in which the restaurant didn't have any plastic knife, didn't even offer to assist. When I tried to pull the sandwich apart, everything just fell out and fell apart. I had to eat my sandwich deconstructed, it ruined the experience, the taste and ultimately my mood. Extremely disappointed. read more

I've heard so many great things about this place! Everyone kept telling me to come here and I finally did! We were Al starving and this place hit the spot. I really enjoyed this location because it was easy to get to and had parking. We walked in and there was a lot of places to sit and the service was friendly. We got the famous roasted corn, the #1 famous Caribbean roast and the west Caribbean bowl. The food came very fast! They give you so much food for the price point. The meat is delicious and full of flavor. It's delicate and melts in your mouth. I personally LOVE onions so I thought it was amazing. The jalapeños also weren't too spicy mainly due to being pickled so I definitely think it adds a nice kick and flavor. The bread was also sooo good. My husband really liked his bowl and thought it was delicious as well. We came at a non popular lunch time so it was very quiet and not that many people. Lots of room for anyone to come in though. Definitely would come back and get a margarita too! read more

Stopped by before a Marniers game. Absolutely no wait, type of place where you order first then find a seat which was super easy lots of space with outdoor seating and a bar. Food came out within 15min. Jambalaya was well flavored with lots of depth you get to pick your spice level and a 3 was spicer then average. The famous sandwich was huge and meat was extremely tender could have used a sauce on the side for dipping. Margarita flight was also well made. Over all great experience would definitely try again. read more

These sandwiches are so delicious! Dined in on a Saturday evening. A few tables were taken, but there were a few empty tables, not too busy. My friend and I tried the Famous Caribbean Roast and the Paseo Press, both absolutely fantastic. These sandwiches are a little messy to eat, but they had wet wipes at the restaurant to help clean your hands afterwards. The chips and salsa were also a great side to crunch on in between bites of these mouthwateringly delicious sandwiches. All I can say is I can't wait to go back! Edit: forgot to mention, the Groupon! Adding even more value to an awesome meal! read more

Paseo - Caribbean Roast, Paseo Press, and Chips & Salsa - Caribbean Near Me - Seattle, Washington

On our last day in Seattle, we came here for lunch right when they opened, so there was practically no wait. You pay for your order at the counter and then grab a seat, so we decided to eat outside. We shared the Paseo press and the Caribbean fries, which doesn't seem like a lot of food, but the sandwich was very filling. It had roasted pork shoulder, smoked ham, Swiss cheese, aioli, cilantro, banana peppers, caramelized onions, all melted in a hot press. I'm glad they cut it in half too, so it was easy to share. There was a lot of meat in our sandwich, which is just how I like it. The fries were golden, crispy and seasoned, but I was expecting more since they called it "Caribbean." Other than that, they were flavorful and tasted great. I'm thinking to try the prawn sandwich next time around. read more

Hi everyone, So I want to start off by saying please pay attention to parking, don't be like me and get a $55 parking ticket, you can park either on the street or paseo has signs up and I think they only have a few parking spaces for their customers it would have been nice if we were told this by the workers when we came in to dine but oh well!! I ordered what I had coming a Carribean roast and a #13 Rice bean trio. The Caribbean roast was greasy which I wouldn't have a problem with if you're using healthy oils like sunflower or safflower oil but I'm pretty sure that was not the case flavor was okay it was sweetened meat everything seemed to be sweet but the pepper on it added a nice twist and I think there was a little bit of sauteed onion and the bread held up pretty well with the seasoned pork. My dinner date had the #13, and the baked chicken, black beans, and white rice all were sweetened and did not really care for sweet. As if sugar was sprinkled on everything including my side order of fries seemed to be sprinkled with seasoning salt and sugar, that messed up my fries, besides that the fries are to die for. We also orders from their Halloween drink menu. Recommended to me was a Orange creamsicle had vodka, I did not really care for I should have stuck with what I was going to try the Dark & Spooky. Back being a good sport I just wanted to try something off the Halloween drink menu so I did a little too creamy and milky for me with alcohol. The Monster mash margarita triple sec, tequila with lime that was tasty. The staff was friendly, the place clean, and I did like that everything was compostable utensils plates napkins, restrooms were clean. And there is a wall with a piece of art with a bunch of hats I tried to get the story behind it but the owners were not there I thought that was pretty cool. Well I'm signing off and make sure if and when you visit that you pay attention to parking enjoy read more

Paseo is a short walk away from my work office, so it's becoming a regular spot of mine. I came here with my wife and kids after going to the Dino exhibit. I got the pork shoulder rice plate, my wife got the sandwich of the same, and kids had chicken tenders and quesadillas. The rice plate was delicious. My wife agreed on the taste but wasn't a fan of how messy the sandwich can be. The quesadillas and chicken tenders are obviously not mind blowing, but the kids enjoyed it so I can't complain. It was raining pretty heavily this day and Paseos was really suffering. There are water leaks in multiple spots inside the diner.. but it doesn't take away from the experience for me. Overall, Paseos is a great lunch spot and I'd recommend it to anyone in the area! read more

My husband and I came here on a whim. We weren't sure what to expect but we heard great things about the place. We came in a Sunday, around 3pm. There was street parking at the next block so we hit that up. Inside the place is very small. About 4-5 tables, all of which were being used at the time. Service was lightening fast! They know how to get people in and out, which is nice. We both ordered the #1 which is their most popular meal. I think it was the Caribbean Roast. We got our food To-Go since there was nowhere to sit and it was a windy 45 degrees outside so I didn't want to sit outside. We walked back to the truck and ate our food in the car. The smell of the food was incredible! And eating it was good too! But honestly it wasn't the best thing ever. There were SO many flavors that I couldn't pick anything out from anything else. It was just a flavor glob In my mouth, which isn't that appealing to me. Not to mention the sandwich was SO messy. I had to save my other half for when we got home so I could really sit and enjoy it. But after we were done...I was still hungry. It might have been the bread in the sandwich. Not sure. But the whole experience was just a bit...normal for me. Nothing really stuck out to me to make the trip all the way out there for another sandwich. I might try something else on the menu next time. read more

Ambiance/decor: Decor is cute with a caribbean vibe. Price value: Good price for the quality of food you get. Food: I got the seared scallop sandwich $15.00 spice level 3. So delicious! It definitely hit the spot. The scallop sandwich had sautéed onions, jalapeños, lettuce, and garlic tapenade. Spice level 3 wasn't spicy at all though so next time I'm gonna try a 5. You will get your hands messy but luckily they have wet towelettes. Drinks: They had free water cups available. Service: You order at the cashier and you pick up your order.

Needed a quick bite when visiting SODO and this place beckoned. I had the chips and "salsa", which was really more like a red tomato stew rather than a traditional salsa. Tasty but nothing to write a review over. The roasted pork sandwich was very good - like a pulled pork sandwich meets a BANH mi. Great slow roasted pork, a baguette with just the right balance of chewy and crunchy, and some delightful carmelized onions. It was just one or two ingredients away from being super special and I'm not sure if that means pickled carrots, or a red spicy bbq sauce, or perhaps some roasted garlic. Just some extra "BAM"!!! In any event, four good stars! I'd like to come back and sample drinks, the platter with beans, and their corn. Next time... read more

I can't believe it took me three years to try Paseo!! The hype is real! The sandwiches were bomb AF! I'm drooling as I'm writing this. Rating from 1-5 stars Caribbean Roast Sandwich: 5 Churros: omg it was filled with vanilla cream. Definitely a 5 Cuban Sandwich: are you surprised? It's a 5 Tostones: crispy on the outside, soft on the inside. Whatever sauce it came with... it was crack! Sauce alone, 5! Tortilla Chips: nothing special, unless you REALLY need chips, I'd say skip it. Fries: just regular fries with their bomb seasoning. I'd get it again. We were so hungry, we ate it before I took pictures... but it's all worth it! read more

My fiancé and I ordered the Paseo Press and Caribbean Roast Pork sandwich as first timers and a side of tostones (friend plantains) after reading about it on yelp. The sandwiches we got were juicy and scrumptious. They lived up to the hype! The plantains- a different story. They were like tasteless flattened pucks of starch. The saving grace was the garlic aioli that came with them but even with that sauce it still was hard to eat them. Service was fast. Free parking was limited in their lot to a handful of 30 min spots otherwise rip off paid parking in the lot ($12.50 for any amount of time on Saturday), but street parking options nearby as well. read more

*** 3.4 stars *** We came here on a Saturday for dinner. The happy hour ended at 6pm. Luckily we got here at 5:30 pmand managed to order some items off of the HH menu. We shared a citrus salad and 6 buffalo wings. For myself I got the half sandwich & fries combo ($9.75) with the smokin' chicken thigh sandwich. The portion was pretty big, but the taste was alright. We heard a lot of good things about Paseo and them being one of the top sandwiches in the US, so we had high expectations. However, their signature sandwich (the Caribbean Roast, I tried my friend's) was way too sweet, and my Smokin' Thigh sandwich wasn't very impressive either. They were definitely good sandwiches, but didn't live up to the hype. The salad and the buffalo wings were just mediocre. Given the price, the food quality and the portion was good, but it's not worth coming all the way from anywhere just to try them. read more
