Amazing food, amazing people, amazing service. Uriel was our server and he was top class. Love the tequila choices they have, even choices that derive from Mexico just go to show Frontera Concina’s culture and love for Mexican hertiage.

Awful service. Not up to Disney standard and should be removed to not tarnish the Disney name :)

If you.like Mexican food you should Definitely come here...the food was delicious and fresh and very fairly priced...you can sit on their balcony over a little pond area with a nice view or inside with the AC. The tortilla soup was amazing and my family all enjoyed their entrees as wellIT WAS A GREAT EXPERIENCE

I was extremely excited to go to this restaurant because I’ve followed Rick Bayless for years and have used his recipes at home.When we got to the restaurant for lunch, I was pleased to see that a kids meal was free with the purchase of an adult entrée… even better.When we sat down, my wife ordered the happy hour special (margarita and tacos for $18) and we ordered the guacamole as well to start. When placing our entrée orders, I was going to order the Enchiladas Suiza and just confirmed with the waitress that my daughters meal would be free… She told me that since we had ordered the happy hour drink special that the kids meal was no longer going to be free… OK… I wish they had told me that before we ordered.Onto the food, my daughter’s rice was filled with uncooked pieces of hard rice that made it almost inedible. The black beans were dry, the guacamole was cold as though it had just been pulled out of the refrigerator, and the happy hour tacos (that took almost half an hour to get) were so thoroughly soaked through that the tortillas fell apart upon picking them up. The guacamole salad that we ordered was fine.When we got the bill, we learned that the 30% off appetizers special was also null and void since we used our 10% DVC discount. By this point, I was too annoyed to tell them we’d rather have 30% than 10%, so we just paid and left.Leaving the restaurant, my wife appropriately wondered how long it had been since Chef Bayless had been in the restaurant. I wondered the same.

NOT kid friendly... To be honest, not really adult friendly either. Menu options are small and over-priced. After reviewing menu and having chips & guac, we left and were happy about making that choice.Kid-friendliness: Their "kids menu" is a quesadilla. And, they refused to even offer that to our picky-eating 10yr old because she was over 9?!

We've been there a few times, and it's honestly a fantastic spot for some contemporary Mexican cuisine. Led by Chef Rick Bayless, the place never fails to deliver with its vibrant flavors and lively atmosphere.If you're looking for keto-friendly options, they offer dishes like the Carne Asada, they'll make the bacon guacamole for you fresh as the salsa they use in it has sugar in it so stay away from the salsas, but can easily fit into a low-carb lifestyle. For gluten-free needs, they're pretty accommodating. Many of their dishes can be adjusted to suit gluten sensitivities, and they take good care to avoid cross-contamination, which is a big plus.The ambiance is just as delightful, with warm colors and an open kitchen that makes the whole dining experience more engaging. It’s perfect for a casual dinner or a special occasion. Plus, if you're into deals, they have Margarita Mondays and Tequila Tuesdays with special prices, which can add a fun twist to your visit.Overall, Frontera Cocina is a great choice at Disney Springs if you're craving Mexican cuisine with thoughtful options for various dietary needs.

Wife and I ordered Red Chile and Creamy Chicken Enchiladas. Both were delivered lukewarm; the Creamy Chicken had to be sent back to be reheated. In addition, both dishes were very salty. This was a different experience from the altogether more satisfactory Frontera in Chicago. Please, Frontera Cocina, pay attention to your business!

The food here is great. Our server, Uriel, recommended the shrimp tacos. They were crunchy and fried, topped with slaw, and a nice spicy sauce. Four were just enough. Would definitely eat here again.

Rick Bayless is my favorite celebrity chef. The experience here did not disappoint. Our server Uriel was friendly and passionate about the menu, and he guided us to some of the best selections. They have some nice happy hour deals from 2-6 pm.

Food was unreal. All salsas were on point. Guacamole with pink pineapple was great. Everything was portioned well and the Cochinita Pibil was some of the best marinated pork I’ve ever had.Samantha was our server and she was awesome. Knew the menu very well and was extremely friendly.

First off, the service was amazing! Sam (Samantha) made us feel like we had been friends forever. She was an excellent server and very informative. The food was delicious, and the vibe was fun! We sat outside right on the water. Go see Sam and have some of the best food around!

Stopped in for an afternoon drink and snack. The service was so bad we didn't even bother with anything more than a drink. Which wasn't very good. Margaritas are weak and pre-made. Sat at the bar because we figured we'd get better service. Despite having at least 3 bartenders right in front of us, and a mostly empty bar, they basically ignored us. Had planned on going there for dinner but after that experience, we'll go somewhere else.
