    The avocado margaritas were amazing! The waitress was fabulous! The 2-top table we sat at outside was quite slanted. The appetizer with the chorizo sausage was salty because of the chorizo sausage. Otherwise, the food was absolutely delicious! We would go back.

    Music was a little too loud on the outside patio and made it difficult to have a conversation. Other than that the experience was great.

    We have loved Frontera at multiple locations and we’re happy to have the chance to dine there at Disney Springs. Inside was very lively with mariachi for cinco de Mayo weekend, but we sat outside and it was not loud at all. We definitely recommend.
