    Great and interesting dishes. Classic Rick bayless fusion style. Some may feel it’s on the pricey side

    We went for a special event and the staff treated us like gold. Highly recommend if not just for drinks and appetizers. The guacamole was the best ever.

    Frontera Cocina never fails, I’m of Mexican descent. The food is authentic, the service is superb and the ambience is fantastic. I honestly recommend if you’re in the area. Try it out yourself.

    This was our first visit to the Frontera restaurant. The environment was nice however we were seated in close proximity (directly next) to another family which was somewhat uncomfortable. Our waiter was extremely attentive and frequented our table a number of times in a friendly manner. Overall, it was a nice dinner experience.

    We love this place! We visited for the first time last year and knew we had to come back this year during our Disney Springs vacation. We have been fans of Chef Rick Bayless for a long time now and are lucky to have one of his restaurants just a couple hours from home. The menu is so creative - both the food and the drinks! Everything is prepared so well that you can tell a lot of time and effort was put into making sure the local chefs make each dish exactly how Rick would make it himself. The food was all very fresh and the portions were just right. One FYI...these dishes use a lot of salt. We expect this, as we experienced it last trip and we also follow the Chef's cooking videos and know he favors salt quite a bit. I follow a pretty low sodium diet so the salt really stands out. This is by no means oversalted - just definitely a strong presence if you are not used to using a lot of salt. We were too full for dessert this time but hope to save room next time we head out this way. We will absolutely be back again!

    Our server was very friendly and helpful except for the fact that he could not provide me with shrimp mojo de ajo since it is not on the current menu. Previously, our server has been able to have the kitchen make it for me even when it is not on the menu. The other shrimp offering has coconut cream which was not appealing at all. The chicken enchiladas that I ordered were just average in flavor and a small portion with no sides so I had to order a side to feel like it was actually a dinner. Please bring back the other shrimp offering or at least the option to have the kitchen make off menu items.
