WELCOME TO MARACAS RESTAURANT


How it all started…

Leonardo and Margarita Lopez are passionate, driven individuals who own several establishments including Maracas Restaurant located in Kissimmee, Florida. The duo owned and managed a restaurant in New Jersey in the 90s which gave them a strong knowledge base for their upcoming endeavors. Combining their expertise, they delved in pursuit of their shared dream – to create a home away from home – and laid the foundation of Maracas Restaurant in 2003.

Ever since its launch, the popularity of the restaurant has grown significantly across Central Florida – so much so that it expanded to accommodate the increasing influx of guests. The owners are currently in the process of building a new plaza to serve as the new location – which would accommodate more guests and offer an upscale dining experience.
