J. Lo and wife have never had the legendary Paseo Cuban despite being tourists here multiple times over. Even though the original Paseo is now in name only, the recipe for the sandwich is at Un Bien, and we needed to endocrine him and his wife to this legend!
We arrived at 11:30 at the small walk-up window with covered seating next to it. We waited for nearly an hour before we got our sandwiches and took them to go eat at the Ballard Locks. The food here is still made from the Paseo’s of lore and they know their sandwiches and roasted pork. Efficiency was never their strong suit, and what’s hype without a line to prove it after all?
I like the sandwich, but I will dream about that roasted corn. Now the question is, did it live up to the legend for J. Lo and his wife? Or is it merely just hype?
SUMMARY
Overall: happily ever after
Highlights: the press, roasted corn
Footnote: you will wait and you will get rained on – prepare accordingly; pro tip – call in your order and pick it up at the window
