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!!

Sarah Zimmerman

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.

Lindsey S

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!

Tarek

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.

Kevin Wong

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.

SouthernBeets

Kick off your shoes , put your toes in the sand, and have a beer (and an awesome pork sandwich ).

Jordan Staniscia

West Indies sandwich is ????. Yucca fries are tasty.

Meg Wyble

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.

Rob H

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.

Shreya Liu

Get the Jamaican chicken curry ! It’s the only dish that comes with toastados I think. Spicy and delicious!

Oremo Ochillo

The Desi plate is this delicious combination of Pork and Onions all for only ten bucks.

Daniel Rossi

I get The Bart sandwich . It's a combo of The Desi and the 1AM. So good. The yucca fries rock and roll too.

Serious Eats

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.

Eric Veal

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.

Jasper Croome

Happy to have checked it out! Good portions, and a great outdoor space for good weather.

Dana Beverly

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.

Kassi Sandstrom

The desi plate is a great bang for your buck!

Mason Dimarco

The desi was amazing. Good beers at the bar and a friendly staff

Neel Hajare

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 )

Kevin Swanson

Sand pit for kids to play in while you eat delicious Cuban bowls.

Madi Thomas

I've never come across anything on the menu I don't like but I could eat the Cuban joe for days

Mary S

The sandwiches are good and spicy . Try the specials.

Keith Gormezano

West Ondies Jerk Chicken and Ropa something (shredded beef ).

Toby Cattolico

The 1 Am and Tostones

Forrest

Make sure to order extra plantain chips on the side!

Karishma Reddy Khan

Spicy shrimp is really good!

Tanzala Dickerson
