Outside seating in the sand. Desi sandwich is off the hook! Only have wine and beer , so no margaritas or mojito (hopefully eventually they'll get a full working bar ). Fantastic food and great space.
Bongos is a killer Cuban café just off of Aurora Avenue. In addition to serving dishes like marinated Caribbean steak and Cuban sandwiches , it’s also equipped with a sand-covered outdoor patio . Read more
Excellent yuca fries ! The chicken plate with mango salsa is underrated. Make it a meal!!
Much cheaper and with more food than other local sandwich places . My husband and I have tried several things here. Everything was so yummy. The Desi, Sweet plantains , and Yucatán fries are a must.
Between Paseo, Un Bien, and La Isla I’ve been torn on which is better for years - the answer is Bongos. Seriously! Great food (Desi, West Indies ) & nice outdoor space . And dogs allowed outside!
Food is good. The jerk chicken plate , shrimp plate and grace’s salad is what we got. They were great I definitely recommend the jerk chicken . Outdoor seating needs music to make a nice vibe.
Can't go wrong with anything on menu. Sandwiches are fantastic and homemade sangria in Sunday's. Chill vibe and a great way to grab a group together during seattle Summers.
Kick off your shoes , put your toes in the sand, and have a beer (and an awesome pork sandwich ).
West Indies sandwich is ????. Yucca fries are tasty.
I had never tried Caribbean food but gave it a whirl. I have been missing out my whole life! Seriously. Its that good. Its a 40 minute drive in traffic from Tukwila and absolutely worth it.
Honestly, anything. This place is the real deal. Sandwiches , Trinidad Steak , whatever. I live 40 minutes away and have no issue driving back to eat here.
Get the Jamaican chicken curry ! It’s the only dish that comes with toastados I think. Spicy and delicious!
The Desi plate is this delicious combination of Pork and Onions all for only ten bucks.
I get The Bart sandwich . It's a combo of The Desi and the 1AM. So good. The yucca fries rock and roll too.
The sides are small—and if you order a combo, you only get half of an order—so make sure to order an extra or two.
Have the Trinidad steak which was okay but not great pretty bland generally speaking. Their food seem to be high quality and the seating area was pretty cool with the sand and very casual beach feel.
Happy to have checked it out! Good portions, and a great outdoor space for good weather.
Not at all what I expected. Fast casual . Order at counter, food is brought out. Atmosphere lacking a bit, they could use some outdoor music . Fire pit and lighting, maybe atmosphere is better at night.
The desi plate is a great bang for your buck!
The desi was amazing. Good beers at the bar and a friendly staff
They will not let you pick up food without coming indoors even if you order and pay online (despite the fact that they have an outdoor seating area )
Sand pit for kids to play in while you eat delicious Cuban bowls.
I've never come across anything on the menu I don't like but I could eat the Cuban joe for days
The sandwiches are good and spicy . Try the specials.
West Ondies Jerk Chicken and Ropa something (shredded beef ).
The 1 Am and Tostones
Make sure to order extra plantain chips on the side!
Spicy shrimp is really good!
West Indies plate!!
Check put the patio seating in the summer
1 AM sandwich is delicious.
Closed ontuesdays now
#4 steak is delicious. Not too crowded, a local spot. Outdoor eating area available. Ample parking behind the restaurant in the smaller streets. - Elisa
Torta cubana is very good!! The whole menu looked fantastic and very good prices. Great value. - Gaston Motola Acuna
Amazing! So many dogs and runners. had an awesome time but know that the kids playground is crowded - Nadia Chilmonik
