    Great food, with great service. We sat outside on the patio. It was a little packed in but we sat away from the high traffic area. The food came out hot and tasting awesome!

    Great food and service. The dining area was a tad loud but it was very busy. We will go there again.

    This place was amazing. If you park in the lime garage it’s just around the corner when you exit. The food was magnificent and the music was authentic. Definitely going back

    Considering that we reserved and shared with everyone that we were celebrating my son’s 10th birthday and frequently celebrate birthdays at this restaurant… we were quite disappointed not to have any candles or special recognition for such an important milestone. Normally Frontera Cocina and any other restaurant would happily sing happy birthday or at least provide a candle and small complimentary dessert… very disappointing!

    Phenomenal ambience with well made food and custom drinks. The service was quick, but definitely a little rushed because of how many people they have to serve. Drinks are slightly overpriced but, again, it's Disney
