    All the dishes and sides we ordered were really amazing! From all the restaurants at Disney Springs that we have eaten, this is by far the best one.

    The food was very good, my husband y I are both Celiacs, y there is many gluten free dishes, so that was wonderful. Seating is a little cramped, but overall, a nice experience.

    I generally never complain, but we came to the restaurant Because we like the food of chef Bayless However, here just a few things that did not impress Carnitas Tac- 4 small pieces of meat and peppers and onions were overcooked Tortillas tasted like dough Yuca Frita Had a sour taste, and the yuca itself was dry Chicken Pastor Taco Chicken was overcooked, and the dish looked very appetizing Queso fundido - Cheese was a tight ball of cheese, hardly able to even dip the tortilla in would recommend chips instead of a tortilla as well Generally speaking, I’ve had much better ““ Mexican food out of the restaurants there was no uniqueness to the taste, execution or presentation Sadly, this was the one place we had chosen to have dinner together during our trip, which we did not enjoy

    Over all, our experience was outstanding! We were sat quickly, and the food and drinks were fantastic. Was expensive, but worth it.

    It was extremely noisy, overpriced and my dish was so salty, I wouldn’t eat it. To the server’s credit, she took it off the bill. This is definitely a No Return for us!

    The food is consistently good. Don’t love that we were charged for an extra thimble of salsa but that’s ok. My only complaint is that I put on the reservation it was for a birthday and nobody said anything or did anything for that. Our server was good otherwise
