Chef Carol Reyes

Where we invite you to live an experience where the classic and the modern come together.

Meet Carol Reyes, the accomplished Executive Chef behind the new Bóveda restaurant. Her culinary journey began in 2001 at Universidad del Este in Puerto Rico and was later perfected at the esteemed Culinary Institute of America in New York, where she completed her studies in 2006.

Throughout her career, Reyes has worked at renowned restaurants across the island before taking on the role of Executive Chef at Bóveda in Hato Rey's Popular Center building. Her passion for cooking stems from her maternal grandmother's cherished recipes, which guided her through the early stages of her successful career. Reyes was also fortunate to have the guidance of multiple mentors who helped her develop her own unique style and cooking techniques. Her inspiring story is a testament to the power of hard work, dedication, and a love for what you do.

Technique

My culinary choices gravitate towards classic flavors that truly bring out the essence of the ingredients. My cooking style is heavily influenced by the techniques of Spanish cuisine, which I had the privilege of learning during my five-year stint at Compostela restaurant and frequent travels to Spain. While I appreciate the traditional flavors, I always strive to infuse a modern twist and present them in distinct and innovative ways.

The Crew

My team is exceptional and their unwavering dedication is invaluable to me. We all share a common vision, strategy, and discipline, working together seamlessly to achieve perfection, our ultimate goal.
