Frontera Cocina

Updated 6/16/22
For the most up-to-date information about the phased reopening of the Walt Disney World Resort, please visit the  Walt Disney World Know Before You Go Guide.

Frontera Cocina is the place to go at Disney Springs for authentic Mexican cuisine by Chef Rick Bayless - a seven-time James Beard Award Winner. Located in the Town Center at Disney Springs, you do not need a park ticket or park pass reservation to dine here, but reservations are strongly recommended.

This isn’t your typical Mexican restaurant. This is true Mexican cuisine from the Oaxacan Red Mole Chicken and Carne Asada to the Garlicky Mushroom and Eggplant Tacos. That said, there are classic options like tacos for the less adventurous eaters in your party. The kids menu is very small, so be sure to check it out before you make a reservation.

This is also a great place to stop for a cocktail hour. Guests 21 and up can enjoy fresh margaritas, craft cocktails, agave flights, beer, and wine. And every Monday you can enjoy a classic margarita for just $5.

Lunch and Dinner are served with the same menu from 11am to 11pm. You can expect to spend about $15-35 per adult.

The easiest way to get here is to take your resort bus to Disney Springs. Bus service from theme parks to Disney Springs is not available until after 4pm. If you’re staying at a Disney Springs resort including Saratoga Springs or Old Key West, there is a walking path available to Disney Springs, which will take 20 minutes or so. Ferry boats are also typically available, though they have not yet returned at the time of this writing. If you prefer to drive or use a rideshare service, you’ll want to park or be dropped off near the Lime Garage.

This is a great way to experience true Mexican cuisine, especially if you don’t have time or aren’t able to get a reservation in the Mexico Pavilion during your Epcot day.

Gaston's Tavern Giant Cinnamon Rolls

Cinnamon rolls are a must for me at Christmas and this is one of my favorite recipes for look-alike Gaston’s Tavern Giant Cinnamon Rolls! I found it on Inside the Magic , so all recipe credit belongs to them, but I have copied it below with some of my commentary and photos of my step by step process. Homemade cinnamon rolls are always going to be a bit time consuming, but these only have to proof for 40 minutes total so it’s really not bad at all! First things first, here are the materials you’re going to need: Mixer (one with a dough hook will make your life much much easier) and bowl Rubber scrapers Rolling pin 2-3 saucepans Microwave safe bowls An area big enough to roll them out 2 metal sheet pans with edges Measuring cups Measuring spoons Medium sized bowl for filling Liquid measuring cup The nice thing about the recipe is it uses pretty basic ingredients that you likely already have at your house. I went to Aldi and bought nearly everything just to see and it was about $20. A...
