    Sat on the outside patio along the water and Disney Springs was packed, but it felt like we were in a very quiet spot. Food was great, service prompt and very pleasant.

    We had a wonderful time. I had three different drinks—all amazing. I love how the menu changes seasonally. We always have a great time at Frontera and must go here every time we are in Orlando. Thank you for accommodating our large group!

    I admire Chef Bayles and had high expectations for this restaurant, but it ended up being a disappointing experience for both me and my guests, who were looking forward to try "genuine” Mexican cuisine. The food was underwhelming, especially the tortilla soup, which didn’t resemble the traditional dish, and the tacos were equally bad. Dry and tasteless. Overall, the food was overpriced, disappointing, and lacked proper quality control.
