Frontera Cocina

This Spanish-inspired restaurant is a great spot. The staff was really friendly and helpful, and the food was excellent—full of bold, authentic flavors. It is a bit overpriced, but honestly, the atmosphere makes up for it. The patio is the best place to sit—comfortable, lively, and just a great vibe all around. The live mariachi band was a fun touch and added a lot to the experience. Overall, it’s a solid place for a night out. Good food, good people, and a fun environment. Just know you’re paying a little extra for the setting—but it’s worth it. Highly recommend grabbing a seat on the patio if you can.

Samantha “Sam” was the best waitress! Very friendly and attentive! This was our third visit to Frontera Cocina and it just get better every time. For starters the wife got the Frontera margarita, very good and refreshing. I got the Malumita cocktail. Contraluz mezcal, peach-pineapple juice, Anc Reyes liqueur, ginger, Italicus, tortilla ash rim. The absolute best cocktail!!!! In addition you must try the TLAYUDA CHORIZO & AVOCADO (see picture). When at Disney Springs, you must go!

Overall, the experience was good, the carne asada, chicken tacos, and guacamole were delicious, and the environment was very nice. Our waitress was also very kind and attentive. However, I was a little disappointed with the plantain rice. I was expecting yellow rice mixed with sweet plantains and more flavors, but it was plain white rice with small pieces of plantain. Also, I did find the prices to be a bit on the higher side for the portions.

Came in for lunch on a Sunday to a 12:50 reservation for 2 people that I had made about 45 minutes prior. We were seating on the covered back patio and it was beautiful!! I had no idea there was even a little lagoon behind there or that they had outside covered seating! Our server Leo (Leonard C I think was his name?) was really amazing. He made great drink suggestions and really knew the menu inside and out. We ended up having 4 drinks which definitely wasn’t the plan going in and the food we ordered was delicious. So much flavor and nothing was too heavy. The entire experience just made for a perfect and unforgettable outing! We definitely will be back next time when we are in the area!!

We went to Frontera on a Friday night before my show for a family dinner and it was a 10/10 experience from start to finish. Carolina was friendly and welcoming, our server was attentive and engaging and the food was absolutely delicious! Everyone enjoyed their meals, and the special dessert was just the cherry on top! Can’t wait to go back and try the rest of the menu 😋

The restaurant had a great vibe, and the service was top-notch. Every dish we ordered was bursting with flavor, a real treat for the taste buds. And let's talk about that sugar skull dessert – it was a work of art, almost too pretty to eat (almost!). It's definitely a place to add to your must-try list if you're looking for a memorable dining experience. We can't wait to go back and try more of their menu.

Lexie was fantastic. As vegetarians, it’s not easy eating at the Springs. She was kind and patient and went above and beyond to find us what turned out to be the best meal during our visit! Thank you so much!!

The food is incredibly fresh; unique; and tasty. The ambience outside is second to none with the floating lanterns. They must home make their sour cream it was creamier than anything that one can purchase at a store. This was one of the best dining experiences of my life. The portions are generous too! The mojito was perfect, what great flavor!

Not only was the food delicious, but the service was above and beyond. I wanted to take a moment to express my sincere appreciation for the exceptional service that our server Sam provided during our recent visit on June 16, 2024. Sam's attentiveness, professionalism, and warm demeanor enhanced our dining experience, especially on Father's Day. Her friendly and welcoming attitude made us feel at home from the moment we were seated. She was incredibly knowledgeable about the menu and provided excellent recommendations, ensuring that each dish we ordered was perfect to our tastes. Her attention to detail, such as remembering our preferences and checking in at just the right moments, did not go unnoticed. She takes great pride in her work and her dedication to providing top-notch service is commendable. Your restaurant has set a high standard for hospitality, and I will definitely be returning to Frontega Cocina because of the wonderful experience you helped create. Thank you once again Sam for making our meal so enjoyable. Keep up the fantastic work!

I have always enjoyed Rick Bayless's work and was excited to visit his restaurant at Disney Springs while visiting Florida. We arrived without a reservation with a large group. That's what happens when all the relatives want to see you when you come to town. I was nervous that our large group might be a problem but upon arriving the hostess Khris was so sweet and welcoming. She didn't bat an eye that we didn't have a reservation and arranged for our table. My young nephew loved the interaction with her as she noticed he had brought a toy with him and was letting him proudly show it off. I just loved that. So many hostesses aren't as friendly and outgoing. You can probably tell by my prior reviews that I feel the hostess sets the tone for the evening as they are the first introduction to the restaurant. At the price point this restaurant lists their food & drink items, they better have a stellar hostess. She was. Once seated we enjoyed the atmosphere. It was fun and lively. Our drinks were delicious as was the chicken flautas and don't get me started on the guacamole. It's out of this world good! My husband got the carne asada and said it was really good. My sister ordered the avocado margarita and tho I was skeptical about that drink she said it was really good. I'll have to get that next time. Our server was so sweet and accommodating. She didn't appear at all ruffled by our large table and made us feel welcome, explaining what items she liked the best and even asked about any allergies we might have. We appreciated that so much. I wish I could remember her name. I'm sorry! A manager stopped by our table and visited with us. He was really nice. I have to say the team at the Disney Springs restaurant really represent Rick well! Stellar staff and food! My nephew loved the quesadillas. Which surprised me because he can be picky like most kids are. The chocolate sugar Skull dessert was a huge hit with him though. He thought it was so funny hitting it with the mallet to break it open. As we left the restaurant Khris called my nephew by name and told him goodbye. We had to peel him away from her. Haha. He didn't want to go! We will definitely be back again!

After a long flight to Orlando I was walking around Disney Springs searching for a place to enjoy a late dinner on a weekday night. Most places had long wait times but this place told me they could seat me immediately at the bar so I agreed. The bartender who served me was great, very friendly and personable. He recommended the Topolo Margarita and he didn't steer me wrong. It was excellent. The drink menu description: Tromba reposado tequila, Alma Finca orange liqueur, and housemade limonada. Fantastic! I ordered the creamy chicken enchiladas suiza. Again, the menu description: fresh corn tortillas, chicken and poblano rajas filling, tomatillo-cream sauce, Queso Chihuahua, sliced red onion, cilantro. The three enchiladas were nicely presented in a skillet. The cheese from Chihuahua is usually not my favorite but it was perfect for this dish. While the enchiladas were absolutely delicious the absurd price of nearly $30 for three enchiladas is ludicrous...but I guess that's to be expected at a touristy place like Disney Springs.

We had a party of 8 and it was terrific! Service was great and food was fresh and tasty. I ordered grilled chicken with rice and beans and one of my colleagues ordered the chicken Caesar salad. Also ordered tacos and enchiladas. We all loved our meals. .

Met up with colleagues here to pregame and eat some snacks. Great service sitting at a table inside where there is air conditioning. Yeah, it's hot and humid out there in the Kissimmee weather! I started off with a fabulous margarita on the rocks, choosing the house tequila. Tasty, cold, sweet and tart. And yeah, I'm feeling it. A fish taco was fabulous and the guacamole is excellent. Just a bit spicy with the jalapenos in there. And the salsa is tasty. Yep, I ate way too many of these delicious chips. Oops. [Review 1017 of 2024 - 1893 in Florida - 22045 overall]

Located in Disney springs which is one of my favorite places to visit when in town, we decided to go to Frontera Cocina for lunch. We were a group of 9 and were accommodated immediately. Our server was amazing with recommendations and asked for food allergies right away. We all got different tacos and quesadillas to try. Love that the tortillas are warm and all you can eat. Should you run out, just ask for more and delicious warm tortillas arrive to your table. I had the steak tacos which is more of a build it yourself. Came with beans and salsa. The enchiladas were delicious as well. The kids quesadillas are nicely portioned and comes with rice, beans and sweet plantains. My drink was a passion fruit margarita which was so delicious, I had 2. The tamarind one was also a big hit in our table. The restaurant is nicely decorated and everyone is super welcoming. The bathrooms were clean and aesthetically pleasing. We truly enjoyed our time at Frontera Cocina and will be back next time we're in town.

Came here on Monday for dinner and also the $5 margarita happy hour all day! Good tip for Monday since, at least when I was there and sitting at the bar, there were no signs anywhere about the drink special. I saw it online, otherwise I never would have known. My partner and I shared the guacamole cob salad, chips and salsa, the red beans and the flautas and they were all very good! This is Disney Springs so it's more expensive. I took a star off because we weren't really checked on at all and it wasn't very busy. But I would eat at Frontera again!

The ambiance of the whole place was good--a typical family-friendly Disney experience at a restaurant. The food was good, enjoyable, flavorful, and delicious. I shared the Carne Asada with my husband, and it was more than enough for the two of us. The steak was very flavorful. Everyone else enjoyed their meal and was happy with their selection. Service is where my stars took a hit. We were a party of nine, and within those nine, we had four kids with us. Two ordered quesadillas and two ordered tacos. We asked if we could switch the chicken quesadilla and chicken tacos to steak, and our waiter said no problem--it's an upcharge, with no further explanation. We said okay, no problem, and went about our dinner. When we received the bill, we thought it was a little too high for what we got. We asked the waiter about an extra charge of $16, and he said, "Oh, that's the upcharge for the steak instead of chicken." I was shocked. It was a $16 upcharge per kids' meal for switching from chicken to steak. I kindly told the waiter that this is something he should have mentioned before charging us. A $9.50 kids' quesadilla turned into a $25 quesadilla--for a kids' meal! I think it was very unprofessional that we weren't told about it until the end. I believe this should be mentioned right before placing the order for the kitchen to read and make. Granted, we should have asked as well, but we assumed the upcharge would be around $5. So, to parents with kids who prefer steak over chicken, be aware that switching from chicken to steak in any kids' menu item will result in a $16 upcharge per kids' meal. I think this should be noted or mentioned because many families come here with multiple kids. I think the $$ sign above should be changed to $$$ (three) because the amount we paid for this dinner doesn't coincide with the food , ambiance , and overall experience.

Loveeeee this place! Definitely a must visit if in Disney Springs. I highly recommend making reservations this place gets packed. I ordered the Paloma drink and the shrimp fried tacos!! Holy Moly, delicious! Make sure to order the guacamole... it's unique and very delicious.

It was our first time visiting Disney Springs and Frontera Cocina. We came around peak hours without a reservation, but were seated right away. Our server was prompt and told us about their best items on the menu, which was the carne asada and the carne asada tacos. I ordered the carne asada tacos, which came with black beans topped with queso blanco, and a side of homemade corn tortillas. I had also ordered a side of platano that was topped with crema and cilantro. The steak was cooked to order, which I had ordered medium rare. The steak was very tender, and the plátanos were cooked perfectly. They were not greasy or too soft, and had a nice crispy coating. The decor had traditional Mexican decanters, sugar skulls, and local art. It does get loud in there. The service and food were excellent!

GO ELSEWHERE if you want a great meal. We were so excited about this place- we were here years ago and it was awesome. I don't know what happened but everything about it is now bad. First off, the prices are insane for what you get ( quantity and quality both). I wish I had took pics. I paid $27 for 3 enchaladas that had zero flavor and no side dish at all. The enchiladas were sooooooo tiny with no flavoring. We ordered chips and guacamole- we paid like $17 for them and the guacamole had mango on it (there was a mango option but we did not order it) . For $17 we received 10 chips with the guacamole. I'm serious. We had ordered a few orders of tacos within our group and no one was happy with their meals. One was supposed to be with no mushrooms and it was filled with mushrooms and COLD. After complaining (which I hate to do) they took 10% off the bill. Oh..... and my house margarita was $19 and was super small and served in a half size martini glass???? The manager never came over to apologize even after he was informed of our experience. On my way out I felt the need to pull him aside and express how much we were disappointed. He said next time make sure we ask for him when we get there. Why would we return ? We even told him it would have meant a lot if he had just stopped by the table and apologized. He literally did nothing at all for us. Terrible, flavorless food that costs a lot. 4 dinners with 2 drinks $175 Do not go. You've been warned. Awful.

The food was ok and the ambiance was very nice only it's a little expensive maybe because of the location

Authentic Mexican in the heart of Disney springs. Guacamole was good but I definitely had better. On the plus side we received additional chips. My taco tinga was good and the service was impeccable. My husband thought his carne asada was ok and although I loved the service I don't think we loved the food. There's so many options in Disney Springs that I'll try elsewhere next time.

Appetizer (shrimp and lobster) is really good. The rest of Bite30 items are ok. Soup is a bit too salty. We sat by the bar areas since we don't have reservation. The gents that works in the bar can't be attentive at all since they r under staffed. It's very nice indoor looks. But unfortunately I think the customer services can be much better.

With a brand new menu, this place gets five stars for the quality and freshness of the taste of the food. I recommend you try. Camarones al Coco for the riches and flavors that are going to explode. This was an amazing meal that I totally recommend the service. Of course it's always outstanding in the place has a great vibe. I totally recommended you come in chill out at the bar. Have a couple cocktails and chips and jump into the menu are you going to love this place. Pro tip in the summertime come on Thursdays and go right to the bar.

Total and complete bust!! For years, I have enjoyed watching Rick on PBS. As a visitor to Orlando, I was excited to visit his restaurant, but it was a horrible experience! My chips came with salsa, BUT forget being able to access it in the pathetically small "giant thimbals" ( see photo). My mahi entrée was served "fish hot" everything else cold! I refused it, and after a brief chat with the embarrassed staff, I left to find dinner elsewhere. Rick ... dude! ... I expected WAY better. But I will still watch you on PBS.

I've had Frontera/Rick Bayless restaurants on my 'to dine at' list for a while now. Since I have moved farther away from Chicago than I used to be, going to this outpost was the best I could do! My entree, in my opinion, was overpriced and just mediocre. The shrimp had little flavor and were just blah. In retrospect, I should have gone with appetizers, sides, and then desserts. We also ordered the seasonal guacamole that I didn't take a picture of and while not at all traditional in any sense (you will never see green apple added to guac in Mexico, let alone guac served at traditional places...but I digress) it was wonderful! The rice with plantains that came with my entree were stellar, as were the desserts. That Quatro leches is something I will dream about--as one of my favorite desserts, it was out of this world amazing! The service was great and we easily walked in, though it was an off-peak hour between lunch and dinner service. I also wanted to steal all the decor at the restaurant. So many beautiful La Catrinas and alebrijes!

If you are in the Disney Springs area you need need need to go here. This was my first time here and I will say, the service did not disappoint. It's better if you go earlier, we went around 1:45PM-2PM and we were sat immediately. Our food came out in a timely manner, our waiter was amazing. And the whole restaurant had so many vibrant colors which just made you feel so happy and like you were in a true Mexican restaurant in Mexico. The esquites were amazing and not too salty or too wet they were genuinely fresh. And the tortillas that were served with our dishes were hand made and fresh. The guacamole was amazing. And just fyi they also do a happy hour and brunch. I am definitely coming back here.

Maybe I was too excited to eat at this location. Single diner, 11:30 am, a Tuesday before the lunch crowd (that never happened) and my server is rushing me? She delivered my queso, took my taco order, and they were on the table before I'd eaten 2 queso tortilla. It wasn't even 15 minutes. The interior is bright and very Mexican and tequila decorated. The queso fundido was good, but it was really the tortillas that made the dish, which is sad if you think about it. I'd still get it again if I'm ever back in a Frontera. The carnitas were disappointing. Obviously deep fried, which did leave a crunchy exterior, and the pork was tender, but each little pork nugget had a good size layer of fat that should have been thinner, if not removed all together. For the price of the dish, it was really aggravating. I asked for another red salsa that came with the queso because it was good and I wanted it with the pork. The second 1 ounce portion was so salty I couldn't even eat it - and she charged me fifty cents for it. LOL. A non-alcoholic iced tea rounded out my $48 lunch before tip. It was no where near $48 good!! I doubt I'll ever be back here again with all the other delicious options in walking distance.

Man, I love a good margarita, although im not a huge fan of a sweet one; however this one is tasty and sooo refreshing.. it's got a good taste of pomegranate and perfect for a beautiful afternoon at Disney Springs. And the best part...the bartender advised me To-Go cups are optional...well just sign me up!! Food wise...the guac- wow!!! Just simply amazing. Overall great spot to check out in Disney Springs...

I'm used to eating sloppy Mexican food covered in cheese that is completely not authentic but delicious. Frontera Cocina is NOT that place! Real Mexican food here. Rick Bayless is a legend in the cuisine and this place does not disappoint. I ordered their specialty Old Fashioned with Mexican bourbon and mixers. Honestly the best Old Fashioned I've ever had. Sweet. Smokey. Herbal from the rosemary sprig. Just delicious. And they give you a small bottle which is enough for 2 drinks. I didn't take a pic of the queso which was super thick with caramelized onions and poblano peppers. "Dip" with some thin tortillas and dip in some sauce. It was amazing. I got the carne asada tacos which was beautifully marinated flank steak (I think it was flank) that turned out ultra tender and beefy. Topped with real guac and opted for the habanero salsa which was actually spicy. For real. My kid got the chicken enchiladas which had a bit of kick from the poblanos. Perfectly cheesy. The service was top notch as you would expect at Disney Springs. And the ambience was casual and had a gorgeous ceramic mural at the entrance. Overall, top notch place with top notch food. Loved it!

This was our first time at Frontera in Disney Springs and it did not disappoint. The ambiance was really nice with a considerable amount if decor throughout the dining area. Service was great, everyone nice and looked happy to be there. We ordered the guacamole appetizer and it was probably the best guacamole I've had to date. Cobb salad for my entrée which was absolutely delicious, topped with a chipotle ranch dressing, guacamole, tortilla strips, sautéed onions, bacon (crunchy and thick) and tomatoes. My son had the tacos which he thought were fantastic. Would definitely visit again. Food was pricey, Disney property pricing, but better than any meal I've had at any of the Disney parks. We visited on a Wednesday afternoon at lunchtime and it was rather empty, but I'm sure it's busier in the evenings and you can make a reservation. If you do so though leave plenty of time to get in the parking garage and then it's about a 15 minute walk-through security/escalators and over to the restaurant.

What a delicious lunch at Frontera Cocina with stellar service from the excellent Sam! Sam knew the menu so well and she steered us toward some wonderful and authentic flavors! Highly recommend the spicy-but-worth-it camarones al coco--marinated and sauteed shrimp over crisp yuca in a luscious coconut cream sauce. My husband enjoyed his tlayuda with black beans, shrimp, jalapeño, and cotija cheese too. Thank you, Sam, for a wonderful first experience at Frontera Cocina!

Yummy! Can't wait to come back to this spot to try other items on the menu. We tried a few items including the side of potatoes, tortilla soup, queso, and salad. The mocktail was one of the best I ever had as well. Service was friendly and attentive.

The carne asada was fantastic. I highly recommend it. The service was great, kinda slow for the time of day but we did order a well-done steak. The ambiance is not typical for a Mexican themed restaurant but it is clean and it does play Spanish music. They even had a Mariachi band playing while we were there. I didn't go to the restroom while I was there so I can't give you my usual critique on the bathroom facilities.

We were in Disney Springs and I saw the Frontera restaurant sign. I've been a Rick Bayless fan for many years. We went to the host stand and heard there was a hour wait. I figured we could put our name in and walk around for awhile. When it was our turn, we were asked if we had a reservation (no). The hostess asked if we were okay sitting at the bar (yes!). My teenage son and I sat at the bar and perused the menu. The drinks looked great and the food enticing. We decided to share some appetizers for dinner. We had the chips and salsa, salmon ceviche tostadas, and flautas. The bartender asked if we wanted them all together or separate (love that he asked!). The salmon ceviche was stellar. It was fish, halved cherry tomatoes, and more piled on a crisp tostada shell. The flautas were presented so beautifully and tasted delicious. The crema was delightful. The chips and salsa didn't disappoint either! I loved watching the bartenders making drinks. They had a smooth system. They were worked so hard but still had time for a smile and to check on us. I felt guilty just taking up seats for apps so we ate and left. My only reason for a 4 instead of a 5 was the state of the restroom. I figured it would be cleaner in the restaurant than on the street, so stopped in my way out. There was toilet paper on the floor, the trash bins were overflowing, and no toilet paper in one of the stalls. I mentioned it to a server on my way out. I would return again for the regular menu- tacos? Yes please!

The food here is good but I expected a better product from a Rick Bayless restaurant. The chips are generic and taste like they came out of a bag. The portion size of all the tacos and appetizers are tiny. The guacamole is $14 there wasn't enough for my 4 young kids to eat. It had to of been made with 1 single avocado. The drinks are good but expensive. The tortillas here are very good and made fresh. I recommend this place if you're not that hungry and just want a drink and a small bite to eat.

I've never been a big fan of Rick Bayless' Chicago area restaurants, but I enjoyed our visit to this one in Disney Springs. The huge space is probably bigger than all of his Chicago restaurants combined! I'm sure it can get noisy at night, but a Monday lunch was sparsely populated. The "Half & Half" was a nice combination of guacamole and pumpkin seed hummus, served with chips, jicama, and cucumber, plus red and green salsas. My wife loved the Smoked Salmon Ceviche Tostadas. Conchinita Pibil was also good. As with everything at Disney Springs, it's very expensive. But on the bright side, Margaritas at our Monday lunch were only $5 instead of the usual $19. Service was good.

This is a very good restaurant in Disney Springs. The ambiance of the place is bright and colorful. It is very roomy and nicely decorated. One wall is a display of all their tequilas which is quite impressive. Our server was Karla, and she was amazing. She provided some excellent recommendations and was on point for each of her suggestions. Our water glasses were always full, and she was observant of our conversations and never interrupted us during those times. The food was quite good, especially the Verde Guacamole starter! It was probably one of the best servings of gauc I've had in quite a while. Plenty of chips were provided with this starter, along with two different salsas (one green, one red) which enhanced the dish itself. We ordered the Carne Asada Tacos which were sufficient for us after the starter but may not be enough for just one person. At $29 for the platter, it was quite expensive; however, this is a normal Disney experience price. The margaritas are around $17 each and were pretty good. I started with the La Cave Avocado margarita, which was tasty, but heavy like a milk shake. The menu states "served frozen", but it did not have the frozen texture I expected. I would recommend it more for a dessert drink or after dinner margarita. I switched to my friend's selection (recommended by Karla also), which was the Como La Flor. It included a mixture of hibiscus flower tea and cucumber juice, and it was quite refreshing. Both margaritas were served with a hibiscus salt rim (halfway around the glass for the La Cave Avocado and all around the rim for the Como La Flor). All in all, a good experience at Disney Springs.

I can't recommend this place enough. Such a gem at Disney Springs. Let's start this review with the workers. They're out of this world. They're so nice and welcoming - truly making this experience out of this world. The design of the restaurant is incredible beautiful making it a perfect match to the food experience you're about to have! The menu and food options are incredible. The fried tacos are the best thing on the menu and something we recommend. Pair it with a Hercules beer. It washes the pallet nicely!

Celebrity chef Rick Bayless is a wizard when it comes to contemporary Mexican cuisine. I have thoroughly enjoyed using his recipes for my own cooking. I stumbled across them last summer when I wanted to find a delicious hot sauce recipe for my homegrown spicy peppers. Through my search, I found chef Bayless's famous habanero hot sauce recipe on YouTube, which I was able to adapt using my peppers. His sauce recipe is pure magic, but I never thought I'd have the chance to try his sauce at one of his restaurants until recently when I was sent to a conference at Disney's Coronado Springs. While making plans for my trip, I discovered that Disney Springs has chef Bayless's Frontera Cocina. Upon this discovery, my friend and I knew we had to have dinner here, so we made reservations on the My Disney Experience app. The atmosphere was comfortable with artful Mexican decor on display. Our waiter knew the menu inside out and made superb suggestions. My friend and I started out by ordering the sour and refreshing La Paloma, which features Lalo Blanco tequila, Fever-Tree Pink Grapefruit Sparkling Soda, fresh lime, and a Tajin chile-lime powder rim. For appetizers, we ordered the guacamole and Queso Fundido. The guacamole was some of the best we ever had and the Queso Fundido was to die for. Our waiter recommended the Cochinita Pibil, chef Bayless's Top Chef Masters winning taco dish, for our main course. This turned out to be the best recommendation of the evening. The dish consists of achiote-marinated and slow-roasted tender pork, black beans, poblano rajas, pickled red onions, and the famous habanero salsa I mentioned earlier. It was all perfection on their homemade tortillas. And yes, I was ecstatic that it came with chef Bayless's habanero sauce, which was spicy, delicious, and a dream come true. Our waiter said that on a scale of 1 to 10 for heat, it was a 20, but I love ultra-spicy food, so I was in my zone. If I have any critique of the restaurant, it's that the prices are a little high, but nothing that should deter people from eating here. And so, the only thing to conclude with is that Walt Disney World vacationers, who like Mexican food, should do themselves a favor and try Frontera Cocina.

This was a really nice restaurant! We stopped in here for dinner while visiting Disney Springs and we had a great time. Our service was excellent throughout our meal and our food was brought out pipping hot. We started our meal with some delicious cocktails (you can get the La Cava Avocado margarita here!) and queso fundido with chorizo, all of which was absolutely delicious. My wife got the shrimp mojo and a side of esquites and she really loved her shrimp (the esquites was a bit sweet for our taste). I got the guacamole Cobb salad with carne asada and I loved it; everything had great texture and it was a very flavorful salad. We had a great meal here and we'd definitely come back again!

Went here because everywhere else we wanted to try in Disney Springs had ridiculous wait times (we had a party of 6). I was disappointed in my salad; it tasted like a franchise salad in terms of quality and the portion was small. I had higher expectations for a celebrity chef restaurant. Only one person in our party loved their food-- my husband said the chimichangas were the best he ever had (he also ordered a potato appetizer). The restaurant was clean and there was no wait but that's about all it had going for it (we skipped the drinks and stuck with waters due to dehydration). Entree prices didn't match up with the overall experience. Go elsewhere for $27+ plates if you're wanting a fancy experience or food that has a price tag that matches its value in terms of taste and/or portion.

A decent Mexican restaurant but super overpriced. I mean $20 for tacos? The portions certainly don't make up for the price and the taste, while good, isn't anything exceedingly special. You can certainly find cheaper and better tasting Mexican food at a dozen different places in Orlando. That being said, I did find the guacamole with pumpkin seeds to be unique. And the drinks were pretty good. I really liked the avocado margarita which is made with melon liquor. The carde asada was tasty, the meat was soft and tender, served with corn tortillas. The service was fine. As with any establishment in Disney Springs, they can get pretty busy but we didn't have any issues. The restaurant actually has a large amount of seating so it had a smaller wait time than other places. And I will say that the place has a nice ambiance, with a lot of decor everywhere. But not to the level of say, Rainforest Cafe or Planet Hollywood, where at least the ambience and experience justifies the price tag. If you really want Mexican food while at Disney Springs this is the place to go. But otherwise, you're probably better off eating somewhere else.

This place was great! We went in late after a trip to Epcot and we were sat immediately. We started with the Queso Fundido SO yum! For my entree I ordered the chicken tinga, very delicious and the beans were so very good. I also ordered a side of elote and it did not disappoint! Highly recommend.

Be sure and make a reservation you can eat at the bar but the wait was pretty long if you don't want to do that. The guacamole was excellent. The queso fundido was just fair. The drinks were ok. The entrees were very flavorful and we really enjoyed it and everything came out quickly. The carne asade was very flavorful. The creamy chicken enchiladas suizas were excellent the chicken was delicious and it was creamy. The fried plantains were good but could have been cooked slightly longer. The environment is fun.

F stars because it was $$$$$$$$$$$$$$ Food was pretty good. The guac and chips were great. Comes with green salsa/sauce that is phenomenal.

Great service. Best guacamole I've ever had. Chips were a little too salty. Salsas were just ok. Carne asada tacos were very good. Chicken enchilada suiza was the worst thing I've eaten in my life. Tasted sweet and sour at same time. Saltier than salty! Just horrific. Wondering if something was spoiled? Won't return.

Frontera often changes their menu and recently the changed a few of our favorite items and removed some others. The one thing I'm really sad and going to miss is one of their margaritas that was on the rocks but blackberry. Their new margaritas are just not as noteworthy or way way too expensive. There are three that are $20+ Our favorite appetizers to get at the the verde guac and the queso fundido. This time my mom got the chicken enchilada verde and I got the veggie enchiladas (new vegan/vegetarian item) without the cheese to make it vegan. My mom enjoyed her enchiladas a lot. Mine were good but I do miss the eggplant that was in the old veggie tacos. Overall we still love this place and will be back!

The restaurant has a lively vibrant atmosphere. The place was packed and the host was very accommodating to seat us without much wait. The chicken enchiladas (4/5) was decent--generous portion, chicken was juicy, and the combination of textures was delightful. The Garlic Mojo de Ajo (2.5/5) was lousy in preparation and tasted bland. This is a great restaurant for families with kids, they have coloring books , crayons, and craft activities to keep them engaged. The service here is non-existent once you ordered your food. Overall, it was a decent dining experience.

I have been here twice, both times were great service and great food! This time we decided to try the margaritas, I wasn't a fan of them really but to be fair, I don't really like margaritas in general. The food is phenomenal, I'd say this is the best guacamole I've had and I love the salsa verde that came with everything! The chicken taquitos were really moist and all of the flavors complimented each other well, the enchiladas were perfect, and my friend enjoyed the carnitas tacos. We love this spot and will be back :-)

One of the more affordable options at Disney Springs! Popped in for lunch with a friend this weekend and we're sat immediately. I got the chicken tikka tacos and felt like the portion was good. We also got the chips and salsa and it was only $6- like I said much more affordable than other Disney Springs places. Overall good experience and will be back.

Brunch was fantastic! The flavors were excellent, and the prices were reasonable. The Chilaquiles and Huevos a la Mexicana were particularly delicious.side of pancakes wrapped it all together.

So as far as Disney restaurants go, this one was not totally impressive. At the very beginning the service / staff wasn't on point and overall wasn't really worth a trip in. My friend approached the group of cast members of the restaurant and had to interrupt their conversation in order to ask a question. No one noticed him walk up and stand there. The question was if bar seating was open, they said yes and we walked in. We waited a pretty long time for anyone to say anything to us. As you can see by my pics the bar wasn't that busy. Maybe they were busy making drinks for the restaurant which I get, but we should have at least been greeted. The bartender came over about 5 min later and introduced himself and took our drink orders . My friend specifically asked for his without salt, and his was brought out with salt on the rim. When they brought our chips and salsa for us, they had cleared it away before we were done with it, so they had to put another order in . It was nice of them but maybe ask if we're done before taking it next time. The other food was okay but I think there are better places to try for what we paid for.

Great customer service, good food, great ambiance. We ordered Queso Fundido as a starter it came with tortillas and was really good. As a main meal we ordered the carne asada and creamy chicken enchiladas and a side of white rice with plantains. The food was delicious, but a bit pricey for the portions you get. The main entrees do not come with sides if you want a side you have to order separately. I know eating at Disney Springs can be pricey since it's touristy but I've eaten at other locations in the area and your food portions are good compared to what you pay. In my opinion that wasn't the case here, that is why I gave it 4 stars. They do offer Disney annual pass holders a 10% discount off your bill.

The best guacamole and salsas I've ever had! Don't go without ordering both! Service is fast and efficient, food is good, good portions and reasonably priced. This restaurant is a hidden gem in Disney Springs.

Waiter forgot dish after dish. Only 1 bartender who was painful to watch....kitchen was faster. 9 cooks to 1 bartender sound right to you Rick? Food was OK,not great for all the celebrity chef hype .

Pleasantly surprised. You figure most Disney springs restaurants overlooking the water are tourist traps, but this menu is very extensive and the drinks are unique. The flautas were amazing, I wish I had more time to try more food. The hibiscus salt rim on the spicy marg was such a nice tough. It was probably one of the best spicy margaritas I've had in a white. The restaurant is nicely decorated and our server was great. She knew I didn't have much time and wasn't too hungry so she recommended the flautas which were 10/10. Very attentive, friendly and overall just happy. Pricing is always a little tricky when it comes to Disney places. Should I have spent almost $50 for a margarita and flautas? No. Were they really good though and the place was nice enough, service was great, to where I'm not too upset about it and I'd still go back? Yep!

I was pleasantly surprised with this place. The food was very good and the service excellent. I had the pork tacos and they were delicious. Prices are expensive but then again everything in Disney is pricey....We were a very big party (11) and they did a great job. This is one of the few restaurant in Disney Springs that did not give us a hard time because of the size or our party.

So good. Beautiful restaurant environment. Great service. Kind waiters. Food was yummy. Allergy friendly options. Only complains is I wish they served mocajetas
