Not going to lie, I ordered Paseo from Uber Eats for 3 people so I can't comment on the actual store itself. However, I wanted to give props to the food itself! All 3 of us had a Caribbean Roast sandwich which was phenomenal and highly recommended.. it was dense, the meat wasn't dry, and it was juicy (and slightly messy to eat but that's ok!). I also ordered an additional chicken breast sandwich, and although it was delicious, the sandwich was difficult to eat because it was just a large piece of chicken and it easily fell out and hard to put back in the messy sandwich so I ended up eating the meat and bread/filling separately. I would recommend maybe cutting the chicken into strips so each bite doesn't grab the entire chicken breast. My 2 friends had the roasted corn and they seemed to love it as well. We also ordered Caribbean fries which had great seasoning and came with a nice dip. Would totally order from here again! read more

Definitely gotta stop here if you wanna eat before a game. With that said, this place can get busy on game days. I tried their fries and a little of the Alaskan Cod. Their fries are really different from your traditional fries, they were sweet as tangy. Like SWEET. It was amazing with the aioli sauce they serve it with. It was it small serving so if you like fries and sweet thing, get 2. The Alaskan Cod sandwich was GOOD... BUT HOT!!!!! I got 2 stars and it was as hot as Thai 4-6 star. It was good just too hot. read more

Solid place for some good sandwiches and tostones. Loved the grilled corn what made each dish delicious was the garlic mayo sauce. It was to die for. Very good stuff. read more

April 10, 2019 Paseo, Caribbean food Started off with the tostones, which are twice fried plantains with a chipotle aioli. I finished off with there signature sandwich, The Caribbean Roast. Let's start with the tostones. The plantains were a little soggy for a twice fry with little to no crunch on the crust. The flavor profile was kind of bland unless you had some of the chipotle aioli with your bite. The texture and all around flavor profile was pretty good. The Caribbean Roast, was juicy with the pork shoulder and had lots of flavor throughout the meat. You could taste the seasonings and the pork itself. The sandwich which also had lovely carmelized onions, cilantro, crunchy romaine lettuce, and some decadent pickled jalapenos to give it a little heat to the sandwich. Finally, the bread. The bread was a nice fairly dense bread. It held up to the juices and the ingredients. Only down side is that there was not crunch factor on it. All in all with Paseo Caribbean Restaurant, it is a nice place and autmospher when I was there. Staff was really good to all personal in the restaurant. I do recommend going there for a nice place to relax and enjoy some wonderful food. Sincerely, The Lowdown on Food read more

Finally had paseo after living in Seattle for 4 yrs....delicious! Workmates ordered a batch for going away lunch and even though I didn't have mine straight away, I toasted it up later that eve and it still had integrity left--that's a win. Do yourself a favor and don't wait as long as I did. It's a treat for sure! read more

It's a good sandwich, I've missed the sandwich at the original Fremont location. But something about this just isn't the same. There were parts of the pulled pork that didn't look and taste like pulled pork. It was missing something - maybe the flavor. Slightly disappointed. read more

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

THE BREAD HERE. AND SAUCE. AND MEAT. AND ONIONS. ha - yup I like this place. The sandwiches are awesome. I always go with the classic Caribbean sandwich. I just got there 10 minutes before closing and that's all they were serving - but they still served us some delicious sandwiches. read more

Amazinggggggggggggg new fav I love the shrimp sandwich the best! So flavorful I can't stop coming back!!! read more

The carribean roast sandwich from Paseo SoDo actually deserves the title of "best sandwich in America." With perfectly cooked caramelized onions wrapped on the outside to the pork spilling out, it is a delicious mess to behold. There's no way to eat this without spilling some, so come prepared. Besides the food, the SoDo location always has great music playing- I dropped in for lunch on a Tuesday afternoon and it felt like a Friday evening indoors! read more

Great sandwich close to the stadiums! A wonderful place to stop and grab a bite to eat before a concert, game, or any time really!

The Corn on the Cobb side and Prawn Sandwich left us S H O O K ....... Great food at great prices, portions of sides are excellent and the warm salsa was almost like a chili consistency.... so good! read more

These sandwiches are usually great but holy crap, I got a MILD spicy sandwich and ended up having literal tears in my eyes. Felt like I ordered a VERY SPICY sandwich. 10 minutes later after eating it and my mouth is still burning. Great tasting sandwiches but if you are going to get it make sure you do no spice... because mild spice doesn't mean mild. read more

Sand which is pretty good size and stuffed with meat which is very juicy. Wish they had given more jalapeños In the sand which. The corn is amazing. I also got the tropical iced tea which they told me was sweetened but it was so bland. read more

Sandwich was perfect and awesome just like I remembered from the Fremont location. Crispy bread, crisp lettuce, and flavorful meat. Nice work! Clean restaurant and lots of seating! read more

Roast pork sandwich was very good, but it is not up to par with the original. Not the same depth and complexity of flavors.

Very bad customer service. I placed my order on their website in advance to get my food quickly after they open. On their website, there was no remarks like don't place order before they open. I arrived at the curbside pick up parking after I received the text that said my food was ready. However, nobody came out more than 10 mins. It turned out that they missed my order and didn't cook my food at all. Then what was the text that said my food was ready? I already paid tips on their website in advance. I wish I had an option to pay tips later. I was very disappointed with their customer service. You should be careful when you place a pick up order. They don't pay much attention to online orders. read more

I'm torn because the Carribean roast sandwich was absolutely delicious. The carmelized onions, tender pork and sauce made it the perfect sandwich. The tostones, which seemed overpriced to begin with, were dried out and inedible. Too bad they ruined an almost perfect meal by serving a side dish that clearly should have been trashed and started over. read more

Got the Caribbean roast. -- this review is based on the sandwich-- the pork in it was super dry-- I wouldn't get this again in the future. The fries was standard-- and the only thing that made it Caribbean was just the sauce (which was delicious), I would still come back for a sandwich next time because my first experience was really good here (got the steak sandwich). read more

Good Groupon deal for this place. Happy hour 9pm-1030pm is pretty good. Not exceptional or anything I would ever tell others about, but serviceable and good flavor. Their pork sandwich is a staple. And is pretty good read more

I ordered the #1 and DAMN there was so much meat on the sandwich. Usually more is better but this time I couldn't even eat the sandwich. I picked it up and almost everything fell off the bread. It did taste super good, just wish I coulda ate it as a sandwich instead of bits and pieces. But I will definitely be back. read more

If you had told me 3 or 4 years ago that I'd be sitting here writing a bad review of Paseo, I'd say to you, "the terrorists won"... For a long time, if you had asked me what my dying-wish sandwich would be I would have responded "Paseo", with no hesitation. I waited in the long Fremont lines countless times for the finger licking, god-of-all sandwiches and recruited many other Seattleites and out of towners to do the same. As that location is long gone, today we headed over to the 1st ave Paseo for lunch. Since it's opening, the 1st ave location always seemed to me to have all the same ingredients of the original, but noticeably missing that special magic that made Paseo so special. "Oh well," we thought, "It's still pretty darn good." Unfortunately, I was shocked to see that all 3 sandwiches we ordered were noticeably smaller than expected. (maybe by as much as a third). The price certainly has not dropped. We shelled out $30 for 3 little sandwiches that left all three of us hungry. I've left Paseo wishing I could take a bath in the onions and sauce, but never hungry. I was shocked. Smaller bread, less meat, less onions, just... less. I think this may be the last straw for me at this location. It's been fun Paseo, but I think I'm out. PS. Un Bien still has what I'm looking for. read more

We went there before a mariners game and it was great. Better price and quality than stadium food any day! Look forward returning

I got the grilled pork sandwich which I normally do. This time though the bread was so soggy. The sandwich was falling apart and was very hard to eat. For 12$ I expected more I guess. Is this place going down hill or was this just a one off is what I need to know. read more

I ordered a west Caribbean bowl with pork and did not check it. It had no pork on it. I kept eating it, thinking the pork was under rice and beans , but no. Very disappointed. read more

Yummy food and made us feel even more homesick. We ordered calamari, shrimps and roasted corn from the Happy hour menu. Great stop before a Mariners game. Definitely coming again. read more

Food: 5/5 Price: 4/5 Service: 4/5 Ambience: 3/5 Holy crap the sandwich was legit!! With almost 4500 reviews and 4.5 stars for it's main location, and rated #2 in the US on Yelp a few years ago, I had to come here and give it a try. Paseo is a hole in the wall shack, but trust me you won't be disappointed. You order by the counter and wait for your number to be called. I visited Paseo last time I'm here in Seattle, and was so impressed that I had to come back this time. I would drive the city just for this sandwich. I'll be back every single time I'm in Seattle!!!! Caribbean Roast ($10.95) - 5/5. Pork shoulder coated in Paseo Marinade and slow roasted till falling into succulent morsels. All sandwiches are on a lightly toasted baguette and slathered with aioli, fresh cilantro, pickled jalapeño, lettuce, and caramelized onions. This is their most popular item, and there's a reason for that! First of all, the baguette was toasted perfectly with a nice crunch, though it's a bit small. The sauce - HEAVENLY. Loved the generous servings of roast pork shoulder, delicious flavors and juicy meat. Tons of caramelized onions, making the sandwich to a whole new level. Roasted corn ($5) - 2/5. corn on the cob slathered in aioli, Parmesan, fresh cilantro, and paseo spices. Watery and not too impressive, stick with the sandwich! read more

Paseo has become an imposter to its old self. The real deal is Un Bien. I haven't tried Paseo since they closed down and went under new ownership. Since the original recipe is actually at Un Bien I decided to follow suit. After a while, I told myself I wasn't being fair and I should give Paseo a chance. Especially once this location opened, it'd be much more convenient to get to. Honestly, at this point they're just riding on the name recognition. The Caribbean roast sandwich isn't nearly as flavorful. My boyfriend got the smokin thigh dinner. He loves Un Bien's salad & the black beans. However, here it was a disappointment. He said the salad tasted like they just threw balsamic vinegar on it. I tried the beans because he thought it tasted weird. Personally, I thought it tasted almost "chemical-y." Do yourself a favor, go to Un Bien. It's worth it. read more

Bomb roast pork sandwich!!! Loved it straight up!! With a little of their habanero hot sauce on top of each bite!! My goodness will be back! read more

This location is much more convenient than Fremont. There's a few dedicated parking spots out front but be careful parking anywhere else because your car could get towed. I've only seen a long line a few times but it goes quickly. My favorite on the menu is the Caribbean Roast sandwich (with a side of rice!). Make sure to get it cut in half so it's easier to eat and take home with you. Probably around 6 or so booths inside as well as outside seating with cornhole. Great spot to sit out during the summer before Mariners games! read more

Paseo - Lots of wet napkins required for these sandwiches. - Caribbean Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Try not to get run over by one of the owners or staff if you walk on the sidewalk around here. They use the sidewalk as their own private driveway so that they can park up on their landscaping. They've turned the block into a literal mud hole. Newsflash to the owners and staff of Paseo, sidewalks are five feet wide because they are for walking on, not for four-wheeling your giant SUV down so that you can park on your grass. read more

Yes, I understand the Paseo story and constant comparison to the original Paseo and the rivalry with Un Bien which has original family ties to Paseo but, I also know this is still a damn good sandwich in an area of town that is overwhelmed by fast food. The Caribbean roast is a messy, wet, spicy flavor bomb of deliciousness that needs to be eaten at the restaurant or somewhere very close. If you are getting this via delivery service it will definitely show up soggy and it is not a Cuban sandwich either so, don't expect that here. What to get is the Roast with marinated roast pork, pickled jalapeños, heaping amounts of sweet caramelized, Aioli, full leaf of romaine all on a crunchy thick Macrina roll. Is it as good as the original? I would probably say no, however I probably enjoyed the romance of the original and the first experiences of that 5 years ago or the idea of a renegade spinoff in Un Bien is better. (It is like comparing Mexican Coke to American Coke, extremely small differences ) But, the service here is better and the simple item that I like is the chips and Salsa come with warm salsa in a full cup that is really excellent. read more

Paseo - Caribbean Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Came to this location of Paseo with lot of excitement. But really disappointed to give it two stars as the food was totally below par from what I've come to expect of Paseo. I've been a regular at Paseo at Fremont and lately Un bien and have never had a bad experience at any of these places all these years. So I guess I know my Paseo sandwich and what to expect when I go there. We got the Smokin Thigh and Corn. Both were a lot more dry than we are generally used to and lacked flavor. Not sure why they dont match the amazing taste that keeps bringing me back to the other Paseo joint. I don't think I'll be visiting this location any more times but will definitely go back to Fremont Paseo as well as Un Bien, both of which continue to awe me with their mind blowing sandwiches. read more

First time here and I was impressed. I got the #11, a sandwich with scallops. So delicious. Very juicy and messy! My favorite type of sandwich! Don't skip the corn either but bring some floss cause it leaves it's mark. I think the only reason I can give for not rating it a 5 is the lack of non alcoholic beverage choices. read more

Love the Caribbean roast sandwich! It's huge! However, it's kind of messy and hard to eat. Also tried the roasted chicken-it was delicious!

Great pork sandwich and wonderful drinks. If you're going to the Mariners game or the Van Gogh experience this is a must stop!

I've been wanting to try Paseo for years and finally got to try their famous food at the SODO location. I ordered two sandwiches, the Paeso Press and the famous Cuban sandwich. I also ordered a side of Caribbean fries. The total price was $28. Each item arrived at different times. The fries took the longest to arrive. The food was good. The pressed sandwich was less messy and just as delicious as the other one. The fries were plain, no seasoning. The aioli was good. All in all, everything was just ok. I'm not sure what the hype is about. I've had better Caribbean food at Bongos up north and Island Soul in Columbia City. read more

Literally the best sandwich I've ever had, I can't stop thinking about it. Quick friendly service as well.

I've heard so much about the original Paseo, so maybe I did have some high expectations. I was super excited to finally be trying Paseo (not the original, yesh I know), so I got both the Caribbean Roast Sandwich and the West Caribbean Bowl. It should be noted I just took both home to-go. The facility itself was really nice and clean, and I was kinda relieved that the lines weren't as notoriously long as I had heard them to be. The Caribbean Roast was pretty good, but I felt like it was over-hyped in the raving reviews. Maybe things have changed, as people have stated here previously, but the meat was kinda dry. The sandwich was definitely dripping in sauce, but you can't cover up meat that's a little tough to chew by layering sauce on it....On the other hand, I really liked the caramelized onions in there and kinda wish there was more. Half a sandwich was enough to make me feel pretty full, so I felt like prices were okay. I actually liked the West Caribbean Bowl more! The chicken was legitimately delicious, so I think the next time I buy from Paseo, I'll likely get their chicken dishes. It was strongly flavorful, and I kinda appreciated that there wasn't bread drying everything out. Something about rice and beans is just irreplaceably satisfying. It's worthy of a stop to see if you like it. My recommendations are to stick with the bowls and their chicken. read more

The bread was very small compare to the amount of the meat it holds. I had a grilled pork and tried the roasted Caribbean pork. I like the taste of the grilled pork better than the popular roasted pork. It was over cooked and very dry with bland seasoning. Also the bread was really hard. It was an interesting experience trying to take a bite of that sandwich. I do like that they have a lot more seating and even a couple of TVs. Otherwise I thought the food was only ok for the amount of price. read more

New spot was great, but with limited free parking. Got me the Groupon $22 deal: two sandwiches and four sides. Ordered me a Caribbean roast (#2): toasted baguette; just the right amount of toasting to give it that crunch. Slow cooked Pork with some zing and zest. Perfect amount of flavor to compliment the bread and sauce. I would have liked to have a little more green. The sandwich started off perfectly packed in its wrap, then Boom, all the pork and sauce came spilling out. This is definitely not a sandwich for the neat freaks. I would suggest you use a knife and fork to minimize the use of the abundance of napkins. The fries were cooked perfectly, getting the right amount of crunch on the outside, yet hot and soft on the in. Chips and salsa: never had hot salsa, definitely was different, but it worked. Highly recommend this spot! read more
