Reviews for Carmen's Lunch Bar & Tapas in Pensacola, FL
1st time eating here and it was a great meal. We got here early for brunch and got seated at the bar right away. Our waitress,... who I?ll guess was the front of the house manager was really nice and explained everything we asked about and described the foodwith enthusiasm. We started with the olive plate and the tomato soup. Olives weren?t as spicy as I was expecting but the tomatosoup with the firedust was awesome. You got the tang of the tomato with heat of the pepper dust and it was mellowed by the sourcream. That was top notch, which I had ordered the bowl. I got the Cuban style sandwich and it very well balanced. Good ratio ofmeat to bread, great sandwich. The wife got the pork plate and she thought the pork was really well seasoned. The plate wasempty when she was done. I can see why people say to expect to wait as there are not many seats available. Really good meal, wewill be back to try some of the other dishes. Read more

A nice spot in Pensacola for sure. I had the spicy olives and my wife had the Spanish crab cazuela. We also tried one of their... NZ white wines and their cranberry orange tea. If you want some tapas or a sandwich it is definitely a sound choice. I wantedsomewhere that I could be in and out in a reasonably quick time and while I had to wait for a seat it was efficient and thestaff very attentive once in my seat. Read more

We all had the Spanish Crab melt with horseradish potato salad. It was delicious! It?s very rich so the size isn?t large, but it... was perfect. Read more

A Shining Star Lunch Spot. A quaint little eatery in the downtown district. It offers a unique - diverse menu, making it a very... difficult choice to pick. They have an entire section of Gluten Free items and all looked amazing. The wait staff were upbeatand friendly making our meal a wonderful experience. Check them out - you?ll be glad you did!

Good service, good food that's perfect for lunchtime when a lot of restaurants offer things that end up being too heavy, and the... options are creative without being off-puttingly weird or pretentious. Sitting at a counter was a very different experience forme, and I definitely wouldn't be in the mood for it all the time, but it seems to make service much more efficient. Read more
