Krystal GuerraFebruary 9, 2012Manager is helpful, bar is always willing to whip you up something refreshing or potent ;) and the food is perfect for any time of day with any company you may have.
Kristina TrujilloDecember 12, 2012Ask for April, she is a wonderful person with an easy going personality and knowledge about the food! I will now always ask to sit in her section, the food was also wonderful!!- Lori BallardSeptember 29, 2012Devil crab is awesome! Lots of crab! Not too much breading. The blue crab meat pasta is one of my personal favorites!
High quality and good prices. My favorite restaurant in Ybor. Love the chicken and pork. Ask for extra onions with your black beans & yellow rice!
TBOcomJune 21, 2011A quick spot for lunch, Carmine's is an Ybor institution. Low-priced, no-frills Spanish food piled high — what more do you want?

My cuban was disgusting! DON'T GO!!- Shannon BlackSeptember 22, 2010buttery prawn bite at the end of your fork. Sex in a dish. Carmine's Ybor, Shrimp Angel Hair Pasta.
- Sam SadighiAugust 26, 2013This restaurant is the most terrible restaurant I have ever been to! The food is terrible, the staff are very slow and extremely rude. I would never go back! An absolute disastrous experience!!
Chris SimpsonNovember 5, 2014Horrible wait staff, stood in a group all looking at me, talking among themselves, 5 minutes later got a menu, took my order and never came back. .. Never had to leave a Zero tip before, congrats
Kimberley Borsick BonarioMay 4, 2013disappointed today. Paid $11 for pork and fries. Thought it would be traditional Spanish pork shredded but no they slice it now it was dry and flavorless don't know why they changed it
Michael JohnSeptember 17, 2012Skip the cuban, I have had better north of the Mason Dixon. Its not bad just not anything to write home about. Devil crabs are intresting, worth trying.
Island BruinJuly 22, 2012Cuban sandwich was mediocre- tomato, lettuce, no pickle resulted in sandwich available anywhere instead of a local specialty
Lisa ReevesFebruary 10, 2013Don't expect the manager to be nice. Charged me - eight months pregnant for a second sandwich when my first sandwich fell on the floor before I took a bite. Worst management and food was subpar!
Laura BrennerSeptember 14, 2014I don't know what's good here because I have been waiting and hour and half to eat.
Harry BDecember 18, 2013Eh, nothing to write home about. Decent Cuban sandwich but pass on the Caprese Cuban.
