    After being at the flagship restaurant this was so disappointing. There were a few items that were not in this restaurant. No mole No tortas ( Chicago airport is better than eating here) No churros?! Okay really? Chips at this location were super oily. Never had them just shiny of oil, I sent it back and it was the same. The oil didn’t seem to be hot enough when the chips were fried.

    I always have a great lunch at Frontera - the outside patio is a perfect place to relax after a flight, with a nice view of the Disney Springs area, along with tasty food and friendly, efficient service!

    The brunch menu is rather limited but we were able to choose options we both enjoyed. We’ll be back for lunch or dinner, that menu looked amazing! The bigger menu is also available during brunch.

    Inside the restaurant was noisy and echoey like a cafeteria. Outside on the deck was much better. Overall, this is the saltiest meal that I think that I can remember, and that is for both the appetizers as well as the main course. One of the glasses of wine we had to return. our waitress was very responsive and did a great job. The mariachi band was fun.

    One entree in our group was really disappointing. The guacamole cobb salad. It was ordered with chicken. The chicken wasn't freshly cooked. It was definitely cooked several days ago....it was dry...so disappointing considering how expensive this restaurant is. Not sure we'll come back....too many other great choices at Disney Springs.
