The Journey of Chef José Enrique
Crafted with Amor
José Enrique didn't just learn to cook—he learned to tell stories through food. Growing up in Santurce, every meal was a celebration of Puerto Rican culture.
After years in New York's finest kitchens, José returned to la isla with a mission: to elevate Puerto Rican cuisine while staying true to its roots.
"Cooking is about honoring where you come from and sharing that love with others."
