Paseo Caribbean

As I mentioned on Thursday, the pressure is on for me to document my favorite Seattle eats and to share these prime foodie spots with you! One place that I cannot BELIEVE I haven't posted about yet is Paseo. This is, hands down, one of the best places to eat in Seattle and definitely the best sandwich in all of Seattle. Their Yelp page speaks for itself, with over 2,000 reviews and a 4.5 star rating. The rating don't lie, folks.

The sandwiches here are a work of art - tender meat marinated for days in a delicious mystery sauce, enormous onions grilled to perfection, a crusty-chewy baguette, and an amazing cilantro sauce with jalapenos tops it all off. Stuart and I always do takeout because 1) this is the messiest sandwich you will ever eat and is best savored in the privacy of your own home, and 2) there is very limited seating inside at their Fremont location. Our parents always request a visit to Paseo when they visit, so you know it's gotta be good. They also have nice entrees that can easily be shared and come with salad, beans, rice, and corn on the cob.

Tips: you need these! They only take CASH, and sandwiches run about $9 per person with tax. They are sadly closed on Sunday and Monday. The line is always crazy long and can take an hour+ on a nice day, so CALL your order in ahead of time. It will take about 20 minutes and you can wait to pay for it in a very short line (stand on the left side of the red divider at the counter).
