Hines
Caribbean Cuisine
The place
Hines Caribbean Cuisine holds a ★4.5 on the Nebraska Avenue corridor north of Ybor — island plates from a family kitchen that Tampa's food maps haven't found yet. No website.
Nebraska Avenue north of Ybor City is Tampa at its most unfiltered — and Hines is the kind of kitchen that corridor produces: family-run Caribbean cooking, jerk and curries and stews built on recipes that predate the business license. The ★4.5 across 133 reviews is early-chapter numbers for a spot whose trajectory points up.
With Bee's Island Kitchen across town, Hines gives Tampa's Caribbean food scene a second documented anchor — a scene that has always existed but never gets written down. Consider this the writing down.
What to expect
Counter-casual, family pace. Jerk and curry chicken are the entries; ask about the day's stew. Plantains non-negotiable. $$-light pricing. North Ybor location — combine with an Ybor walk.
