Who we are.
Welcome to Chabuca, a culinary gem in Orlando that brings the heart of Peru to your plate. Our journey began with a simple mission: to share the rich flavors and vibrant culture of Peruvian cuisine with our community. Chabuca's name pays homage to the legendary Peruvian singer Chabuca Granda, whose music and artistry reflect the spirit of our heritage.
At Chabuca, we believe that food is not just about nourishment; it's about connection and celebration. Our menu is a carefully curated collection of traditional Peruvian dishes, each crafted with fresh, artisan ingredients and time-honored recipes passed down through generations. From the zesty freshness of our ceviche to the hearty comfort of lomo saltado to the traditional flavors of pollo a la brasa, every bite tells a story of Peru’s diverse culinary landscape.
Our newly remodeled restaurant provides a warm and inviting atmosphere, perfect for family gatherings, romantic dinners, or casual outings with friends. With a full bar offering classic Peruvian cocktails, including our signature pisco sours, we invite you to unwind and savor the artisan flavors of our beloved homeland.
But Chabuca is more than just a restaurant; it's a community hub where we celebrate culture, friendship, and good food. We take pride in our commitment to exceptional service, ensuring that every guest feels like family.

This early exposure sparked his passion for cooking traditional Peruvian dishes.

Faced with a lack of Peruvian restaurants, Leo dove deep into the flavors of his homeland, honing his skills in the kitchen.
