Ballard’s newest favorite Cuban sandwich restaurant, Un Bien, will be opening a second location in a very familiar and pink location at 6226 Seaview Ave. NW.

Come late spring, the former Paseo location near Golden Gardens will reopen as Un Bien said owners and brothers, Lucas and Julian Lorenzo.

The two are sons to Lorenzo Lorenzo, former owner and founder of Paseo. The two grew up making the Cuban dishes Seattlites have come to love. With the new opening, Golden Garden goers will once again can pick up a very similar and delicious favorite like the Caribbean Roasted Pork Sandwich at the pink shack.

The location has been vacant since Paseo closed in 2014 after a controversial bankruptcy and lawsuit. After Paseo closed the Lorenzo brothers ventured on their own and started Un Bien at the former burger shack at 7302 15th Ave. N.W. Much of the former Paseo staff followed them.

Lines gather outside Un Bien for this very special ingredient. There’s never enough onion.

Since opening, the Lorenzos said customers from Ballard have been very welcoming and that when they learn who the brothers are they are excited.

“The reception in Ballad has been really good. We’ve had good start here,” said Lucas.

Since they opened eight months ago, customers privy to the Lornezos’ link to Paseo have been getting their Cuban fix regularly.

“They come by and ask if we used to be Paseo and kind of lower their voice,” said Julian. “It’s kind of funny.”

The brothers said opening at the Seaview location would be a lot like picking up where they left off. They said that the owner of the building called them and asked if they would come back.

Pink shack en route to Golden Gardens is the site of the second Paseo location before it closed.

The Lorenzos plan to serve their full Un Bien menu and maybe some new surprises. For now they are busy reconstruction the kitchen at the new site and making some improvements.

“We are really excited to be back down there and looking forward to the summer rush.”
