Chef Partner

The kitchen

José Soto

Chef Partner, Tallo Restaurant & Bar

Chef José Soto's philosophy is simple yet intentional: elevate American comfort with the vibrant spirit of the Caribbean.

Through years of experience and dedication, Chef Soto has cultivated the knowledge to deliver an exceptional culinary experience — precise technique, ingredient-first cooking and the flavors of home. It's the reason the churrasco arrives sliced over chimichurri, and fresh Puerto Rican bread reaches the table with compound herb butter.

Tallo is his dream realized: a menu and an experience shaped by everything he has learned over the years, brought to life with the unwavering support of partners Kelvin and Ramón.

"I asked her what such a restaurant should be called. Without hesitation, she replied: Tallo." — Chef Partner José Soto

Fresh ingredients

Sourced with intention, plated with care.

Bold flavors

American comfort with island heat and brightness.

Precise execution

Every plate designed to leave a lasting impression.

The name

A stem is the lifeline between the roots and the fruit.

The name Tallo was conceived during a heartfelt conversation between Chef José Soto and his daughter Penelope, just weeks after Hurricane Maria swept through Puerto Rico. Watching the plants begin to bloom again and the trees push out new branches, they reflected on the vital role of a plant's stem — the tallo — working in harmony with the roots to bear fruit.

The stem is the channel, the lifeline transporting nutrients between roots, fruit, flowers and leaves. In that same conversation, Chef shared his aspiration to open a restaurant shaped by everything he'd learned. He asked Penelope what it should be called. Without hesitation: Tallo.

Roots

Puerto Rican heritage, family and the flavors of home.

Stem

Years of experience, technique and genuine hospitality.

Fruit

Every plate, every pour, every memorable evening at the table.
