I love good Cuban food, but this place had about the worst customer service I've experienced at Disney. They completely ignored us for an extended period of time and then seemed genuinely irritated that we were there. Poor customer service really stands out when you are used to just the opposite at Disney. Don't know if it is an ongoing problem with that restaurant, or we just had an off night. Good Cuban food should be a fixture at Disney Springs though. Hopefully another outlet fills the void.

As a local I've been going to Downtown Disney ever since it opened in the 90s and I never have stepped foot in Bongo's, so, I'm really surprised it lasted this long.
nah, it has been on the cards for some time.

Maybe they finally have too many restaurants at Disney Springs. Bongos also had average to bad food and y service.

In other words Margaritaville is getting the short end of this deal.
There has been a mini trend of local restaurants popping up there. There has to be another Florida Cuban restaurant that would like to expand to Disney Springs...assuming they can afford the rent and still make money.

They can reimagine the pineapple as an artichoke.

I was just about to post that my wife and I had a horrible server the last time we dined there where we were also ignored for an extended period of time... that was back in 2012.
Unfortunately it appears that’s just how the restaurant operates and it’s shocking to think they lasted this long with such poor service.

The Bongos in Hollywood, FL (Hard Rock casino) is good and service is fine. We would never go to the one at DS because we can get it at home (and Earl of Sandwich on the Turnpike lol.)

Haven't been over to the new Margaritaville resort yet, is there an area like Disney Springs there?

Wow genuinely shocked at the rhetoric here.
I LOVE Bongos. Always had great service and the food was really good IMO. I'm bummed about this.
