Alexis Mariñez worked for over 15 years in Orlando's hospitality industry, always working on different aspects of the food and beverage where he learned to develop his strong drive for client satisfaction.
With his drive and experience in hospitality under the belt — and the support of his sister and mother — Alexis set forth to follow his dream of owning a Spanish restaurant in 2006 and named it El Bodegón, Spanish an ambiguous term for both tavern or wine cellar.
Having made his home in the heart of Central Florida, Alexis Mariñez decided to establish El Bodegón is Winter Park, one of the townships of Orlando — the entertainment and hospitality capital of the United States.
