Editorial Review for Paseo Caribbean – by Citysearch Staff
In Short
Though this small, spartan restaurant doesn't advertise (there isn't even a sign to mark its simple white facade), it inspires a cult-like following due in part to the Midnight Cuban, a pulled pork sandwich garnished with fresh cilantro and garlic mayonnaise. Heartier appetites can opt for full dinner plates, complete with rice and beans. Vegetarians swear by the grilled tofu sandwich, a meat-free version of the Midnight Cuban.

I did manage to get one sandwich the past 4 times I tried. It was wonderful and worth the long wait. But as a previous reviewer said, call ahead!
Pros: amazing sandwiches
Cons: LONG wait. the non-sandwich items are not as appealing

We arrived at Paseo shortly after it started snowing to find it so crowded that people were waiting outside in the snow for their food. After we ordered and started waiting ourselves, more and more people just kept filing in, and the prospect of a wait and nowhere to sit didn't discourage anyone. I can completely understand why. I am comfortable in saying that Paseo has the best sandwiches in the city. I will happily return and wait again just to keep experiencing them. The meat was cooked to perfection, the caramelized onions delicious. They had just the right amount of heat. One sandwich by itself was enough to satisfy, and for a very good price. The only real problem is if you want to dine in, you might have trouble getting a table. The restaurant is very small, with about enough room to sit less than a dozen people. It seemed like people tended to clear out as soon as they were done eating, so the people waiting could grab a place to sit by the time their food came out. But it would be better if you plan for take out. The staff were friendly and had a good attitude despite the crowds. The same could be said for the customers, which created a warm, relaxed atmosphere. Not recommended for people who don't like crowds, waiting, or messy food. For those of us who like fun and good food, trying Paseo is a must.
Pros: great food, ambience
Cons: crowded
