Born in Ponce, Puerto Rico and growing up in the capital of the world, New York City, she has transformed that passion in to a profession. Ida has catered many private events and public functions over the years. At El Coquito, she is involved in bringing that taste of home to you. So come on in and enjoy a trip to the Island of Puerto Rico.
