Chef Rick Bayless, a six-time James Beard Foundation award winner, is the latest chef to sign on to open a new restaurant at Disney Springs at Walt Disney World Resort. Known for his authentic Mexican cuisine, Bayless is opening Frontera Fresco, featuring specialties such as hand-crafted tortas, tacos, salads, fresh-made guacamole and classic Mexican braised meat entrees, all crafted with his time-honored recipes. And, of course, margaritas (plus cocktails, beers and wine).

“I’m thrilled to bring Frontera Fresco to Disney Springs and share my passion for Mexican cuisine with the families who visit Orlando every year,” Bayless said.

Chef Rick Bayless’ restaurant will join the recently opened Morimoto Asia which came from Chef Masaharu Morimoto of Japanese Iron Chef fame. It was also recently announced that celebrity Chef Art Smith‘s Homecoming: Florida Kitchen and Southern Shine opening in summer 2016.
