Frontera Cocina 🌮

Frontera Cocina offers a more elevated take on Mexican food while still keeping the experience casual enough for Disney Springs. The menu features tacos, enchiladas, appetizers, seafood, meats and regional flavors, giving guests plenty of choices beyond

the usual basic Tex-Mex combinations. It is a good option for anyone who wants familiar Mexican dishes with a little more depth and variety.

🍽️ Experience

This is a full table-service meal, so Frontera Cocina works best when you want to slow down and enjoy lunch or dinner rather than grab something quickly. The menu is easy to share, especially when starting with appetizers such as guacamole or queso before moving into tacos or larger entrées. There are enough familiar choices for cautious eaters while still offering more adventurous dishes for everyone else.

✨ Atmosphere

Frontera Cocina has a bright, colorful and modern atmosphere. It feels lively without being overly loud or theatrical, making it a good fit for families, couples and groups. The restaurant feels polished but still relaxed, so it works equally well for lunch during a shopping day or a longer dinner in the evening.

🍴 Food

The menu includes guacamole, queso, ceviche, soups, tacos, enchiladas, seafood and larger meat entrées. You may also find sides such as plantains, corn and other regional-style accompaniments. The menu uses a wider range of sauces, chiles and seasonings than a basic Tex-Mex restaurant, which makes the food feel a little more distinctive.

🍹 Drinks

Margaritas are one of the biggest highlights of the drink menu, with several versions featuring tequila, mezcal, fruit, herbs and spice. You can also find other cocktails, sangria and nonalcoholic drinks. This is a good restaurant for guests who enjoy exploring a specialty cocktail menu along with dinner.

💰 Price

$ ($1–$20 per person)

$$ ($21–$50 per person)

$$$ ($51–$75 per person)

$$$$ ($76+ per person)

Price Tier: $$

Many tacos, enchiladas and other entrées fit within the $$ range. Larger entrées, appetizers and specialty margaritas can raise the total quickly, so a full dinner with drinks may move closer to the $$$ range. You can keep the cost moderate, but it depends heavily on how much you order.

🌾 Allergies

Disney is very conscientious about food allergies and dietary needs, and many Disney Springs restaurants make an effort to accommodate guests whenever possible. Some locations offer separate allergy-friendly menus or clearly identify allergy-friendly options on their regular menus. Be sure to let your server or a Cast Member know about any allergies before ordering. Depending on the restaurant and the specific allergy, food may be prepared in a separate area or additional precautions may be taken to help reduce the risk of cross-contact. Because kitchens and preparation areas vary, accommodations cannot always be guaranteed, so guests with severe allergies should discuss their specific needs with the restaurant team before ordering.

💡 Tips

🥑 Start with a shareable appetizer if you are visiting with a group.

🌮 Do not limit yourself to tacos because some of the larger entrées are worth considering.

🍹 Take a look at the full margarita menu before automatically choosing a basic one.

🌶️ Ask about spice levels if you are sensitive to heat.

🌟 Final Thoughts

Frontera Cocina is a good choice when you want Mexican food but do not want the menu to feel predictable.

The margarita menu also makes it a particularly fun option for an adult lunch or dinner.
