    Food came out cold…all of it. Tortilla soup was really good, but it was lukewarm. Potatoes were cold and we sent them back and they brought another one back cold too. Steak and beans were also cold. Service was good but the food must have been sitting on the counter for a while to be that cold.

    The food was excellent, and we did the bite 30 menus, which was a great value. My only areas of critique was the wait time with a reservation, as we checked in 10 min early, but didn't get seated until 15 min after our reservation time. Also, the server we had was very kind, and never told us I don't know, as we had some questions and she stated she was new. The issue is not with the server, as she was great, but I believe having a better training or someone with the trainees would be beneficial. Overall we had a great night out of celebration and the mariachi band was a lot of fun!

    My friends and I went for Bite30. So much food. I'll go back and happily order the tortilla soup. It was delicious. Betty wants to try the sugar skull dessert. We all enjoyed our food and said it was worth returning. My chonchinita pibil was excellent. Also the Quatros Leche cake was very good. So much whipped cream. It was slightly loud for talking between our group at the table. It's definitely great food and I will return.

    Every time we go the food is perfect. Service is great. There is no going wrong here. Probably best of all Disney Springs restaurants.
