Quick Stop in at Frontera Cocina

[Eddie Garrison]

So, on their opening day, the wife and I headed over to Disney Springs to check out the new Frontera Cocina restaurant.

The restaurant itself was not very busy though Disney Springs was packed for a Sunday evening.

We had no intentions of eating an entire meal here this evening. We set up at the bar and had a few "beverages" and a starter off the menu.

First off, the prices here (even for Disney) seemed a bit steep to me. A local beer (Cigar City Amber Ale) was $11.00 and it was not even a full pint or a restaurant style "pint". It came in the same glass as our waters did. Will not be drinking here again.

The menu has a good selection and prices are to be expected on Disney property for food. Entrees range from $15.00 to $34.00. We had the chips & salsa ($4.00) and ordered the Coctel Rojo ($14.00) to share. Overall the food was good but nothing to write home about to be honest. Rocco's Tacos in Dr. Phillips is a better restaurant (to me) than Frontera Cocnia.

Here's a few shots of out visit ...

The day before our excellent lunch at Homecoming, we had dinner at Frontera, and the short version- we weren't impressed.
We asked the bartender for a recommendation from the menu, and he says the specialty is enchiladas, so we order that. Next thing we know, the bartenders have switched out, and our new bartenders asks if we ordered, and we tell him what the previous guys said- he almost looked alarmed! "Oh! Really? I wouldn't have suggested that." Cut to- our order arrives, with some decent flavor, but also tasting a bit - burnt. Linda says right off, this place is off the list!
