Got the shrimp ceviche. Inedible. I mentioned from the start no spice, it was so spicy it was burning my lips and tongue (and it just didn't taste good at all, if it did, I would just eat it and deal with it, but I couldn't). I still was told to pay full price (maybe 1/4 was eaten). All the other food on the menu could be good. But I asked what the popular food was and shrimp ceviche was mentioned. So, proceed at your own risk.

Absolutely amazing. Brought 3 picky eaters here and they absolutely loved everything they tried. Maduros, Ahi Tuna, grilled chicken, salmon, all among the best we’ve ever had. So good we had to order more ahi tuna and maduros before we asking out of there. All prepared by the original owner himself, from Peru where he started his first restaurant in the 80s. Get off the pier and eat some authentic food for half the price!!

It was my first time trying Peruvian food so I asked our waitress what was popular and what her personal favorite was. She was so joyful and genuine and gave us great recommendations! We chose the ceviche and the chicken fried rice for our entrees. The flavor was out of this world! The Maduras were perfect and the beef empanada was also excellent! The food was a 10/10. The service was just as wonderful! Our Colombian waitress made me excited to try the food. Very pleased with our experience and hope to return when we are back in Florida some day!

The Ceviche Micro was delicious. The server was extremely pleasant, helpful and friendly. It’s a small place that is at a new address: 7002 North Atlantic Avenue, Cape Canaveral. Would eat here again!

Unfortunately, my experience here was disappointing. The ceviche, which is supposed to be a staple of Peruvian cuisine, included some tough, unpleasant pieces of fish that made it hard to enjoy. I tried to overlook it, thinking maybe it was just an off day for the fish.

However, things got worse with my main dish. I had requested to substitute the steamed vegetables to tostones, but was surprised to find only one tostone on my plate. When I asked about it, I politely said I’d rather take the original vegetables than just one tostone — and what I received were bland, overcooked vegetables that I wouldn’t even feed to the squirrels in my yard. Had I known the substitution meant receiving only a single tostone, I would have gladly paid extra for a full portion.

To add to the poor experience, my friend’s entrée arrived 10 minutes after mine. Serving only one meal at a time felt awkward and inconsiderate.

I truly wanted to enjoy my time here, but unfortunately, the food quality and service just didn’t meet expectations.

This place it's amazing!! Excellent food and great service! We ordered the Seared Ahí Tuna as a starter and can't explain how delicious it was! The we ordered the Ceviche Mixto and the Ceviche Amarillo and both were sooooo good too. Definitely coming back when I'm in the area. 1000% recommended!

El Buzo is fabulous. I had the beef stew. It consisted of tender meat chunks of vegetables, and beans. The sauce was delicious, and it was served with a flavorful rice. I highly recommend this restaurant if you're looking for something different and tasty.

Delicious fresh Peruvian food at great prices. The spicy ceviche mixta was perfectly prepared and fresh while the Lomo Saltado was savory and delicious. I enjoyed an Inca Kola, but they also had a selection of Peruvian beers. Next time I'm on the space coast, I'll come back and try the chauffa and jalea!
