Un Bien

"We don’t need to get into the Shakespearean drama that resulted in the demise of the old Paseo, that legendary Caribbean sandwich shop run by Lorenzo Lorenzo. Suffice it to say that Un Bien, run by Lorenzo’s sons, is carrying on that legacy, and more importantly the marinade. Sweet, tangy, dripping from the slow-cooked pork (or chicken thighs), you could make a whole meal out of the marinade itself. The onions are so tender and flavor-packed you should be able to get a sandwich that’s just onions, and in fact, you can. Don’t tell anyone but sometimes we’ll buy a little container of their black beans and eat spoonfuls in the car while we do errands." - Eater Staff

"The Caribbean roast pork sandwich from this fuchsia and teal shack on the side of the road has the power to do two things: bestow upon you eternal joy and completely f*ck up your white t-shirt with meat drips. It’s worth it for this toasted Macrina baguette stuffed with tender braised pork clinging to tangy marinade, sweet onions stamped with char from the grill, tart pickled jalapeño, romaine, and a zesty aioli that laughs in the face of standard supermarket mayo. That, plus some of the best grilled chicken in town and fire-roasted corn slathered in limey aioli, paprika, and parmesan make for a perfect meal, especially if you’re picnicking at Golden Gardens. And especially if you have a Tide Pen handy." - aimee rizzo, kayla sager riley

"It's important to realize that if you kickstart your dozen-miler with a massive Caribbean Roast baguette from Un Bien, the going might get tough. But as a post-workout destination, we heavily endorse guzzling Jarritos while being blissfully oblivious about where the sweat ends and pork drippings begin. " - aimee rizzo

"The sons of the former owner of Seattle sandwich icon Paseo now run Un Bien, with two locations in Ballard and a brand new one in Queen Anne serving wonderful Caribbean sandwiches, covered in aioli, cilantro, pickled jalapenos, and caramelized onions on toasted baguettes. The Caribbean roast sandwich is the star, with its marinated pork shoulder falling apart at a glance, but all the sides and sandwiches are worth your time." - Eater Staff, Harry Cheadle

"The sons of the former owner of Seattle sandwich icon Paseo now run Un Bien, with two locations in Ballard — including one in Shilshole along the Burke-Gilman Trail’s western terminus — serving wonderful Caribbean sandwiches, covered in aioli, cilantro, pickled jalapenos, and caramelized onions on toasted baguettes. The Caribbean roast sandwich is the star, with its marinated pork shoulder falling apart at a glance, but all the sides and sandwiches are worth your time." - Eater Staff, Harry Cheadle
