The story of El Buzo started about 30 years ago in Peru when Chef Bruno was deep fish diving in the beaches of Ancon near the outskirts of Lima, with his friend Lucho Larco. They hunted at night many types of fish like flounder. It was the love for the ocean and the many fish they caught that lead them to open a seafood restaurant in Surco, Lima-Perú in 1980.
Bruno participated in many diving championships until he achieved first place at the South American championship with Rafael Herrera and Peter Hansnkeente, and subsequently the National Championship.
After 23 years, “El Buzo” was sold to Alvaro Martinez giving Bruno a chance to move to Orlando, FL to start a NEW El Buzo Restaurant in the Central Florida area.
It is a great pleasure for Bruno to be able to bring exquisite Peruvian dishes to the Central Florida area and its Peruvian community. El Buzo provides a family friendly atmosphere, affordable dishes, and uses the best ingredients from local vendors.
