Meet the Chefs. Taste the World.
Each month, a guest chef from around the globe takes over our kitchen, crafting a limited-time menu and leading exclusive, small-group cooking classes.
Discover how cultures collide beautifully one dish at a time.
This Month’s Chef in Residence
Renowned as a leading culinary educator and expert in traditional Puerto Rican gastronomy, culinary history, and authentic heritage flavors, Chef Wanda Pantojas, PhD brings her passion to Cocina Cultural.
Chef Wanda brings their passion for Puerto Rican culinary history and traditional flavors to Cocina Cultural with a curated four-course tasting menu and a hands-on cooking class for up to 12 guests.
No matter who’s in residence, our roots stay the same.
Our core menu celebrates traditional Puerto Rican flavors — from handcrafted mofongo and pastelón to locally caught seafood and tropical desserts.
Every dish tells the story of the island’s people, ingredients, and culture — elevated, not reinvented.
