Paseo

Paseo is a legend. Founded in Seattle in 1994, this institution brought its world-famous Caribbean and Latin flavors to Issaquah and immediately elevated the local lunch and casual dining scene. The accolades speak for themselves: previously ranked as the #2 sandwich in America by the Food Network and holding top spots on Yelp’s Top 100 Places to Eat in America.

The Sandwiches

The Issaquah location continues the strict tradition that built the legend. Massive, intensely flavorful artisan dishes are built on toasted baguettes packed with caramelized onions, jalapeños, and slow-roasted meats. Every sandwich relies heavily on vibrant Latin spices and locally sourced ingredients. The flavors are bold, layered, and utterly addictive.

The Legacy

This isn’t a chain expansion — it’s a revered culinary institution making its food accessible to the Eastside. The quality control is strict, and the Issaquah location upholds the standards that earned the national recognition.
