Frontera Cocina brings Rick Bayless's Mexican cooking to Disney Springs, placing regional Mexican cuisine inside one of North America's most visited entertainment districts.

Maria & Enzo's Ristorante at Disney Springs occupies the restored 1930s Pan-American Airways terminal on the lake, where the architecture does much of the atmospheric work before the food arrives. The Italian-American menu draws on the kind of regional sourcing tradition that separates serious trattoria cooking from theme-park adjacency. For Disney Springs, it operates in a notably different register than the area's casual dining majority.

T-Rex at Disney Springs brings the prehistoric era into a full-scale dining environment, with erupting volcanoes, animatronic dinosaurs, and themed zones that shift the mood from section to section.

Book ahead, particularly on weekends and during peak Orlando travel seasons.
