Discover the Young Heart of AquaViva Rincón

This Women’s Month, we celebrate Andrea Nieves Sorrentinia. She is a 21-year-old entrepreneur from Añasco who proves that indeed passion and dedication can lead to remarkable achievements. Her contributions have enriched Rincón’s culinary scene and elevated Puerto Rican gastronomy.

AquaViva Rincón, situated in a prime location in downtown Rincón, has emerged as a standout culinary destination that fuses tradition and modernity. Founded by Andrea and her partner Juan Pérez, the restaurant reflects their passion for Puerto Rican culture and cuisine.

From an early age, Andrea was drawn to the relaxed atmosphere, friendly people, and proximity to the sea that characterize western Puerto Rico. Her career in Rincón began six years ago as a barista. However, through effort and dedication, she now proudly leads AquaViva Rincón. “Our restaurant has evolved with a new concept focused on highlighting Puerto Rican gastronomy, promoting our culture, roots, and identity through traditional dishes with an innovative touch,” Andrea shares.

The lunch menu is available Monday to Friday from 11:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. It offers delicious options starting at $12 (tax included). Diners can opt to enjoy their meal in the restaurant’s cozy ambiance or place takeout orders by calling 787-551-7363.

AquaViva Rincón’s prime location makes it an excellent choice for weekday lunches and relaxed dinners with friends, colleagues, or family. On Thursdays, during Rincón’s Art Walk, the restaurant becomes an ideal meeting point to enjoy the vibrant local art scene. Additionally, some evenings feature live music and happy hour, adding a special touch to the dining experience.

Despite being relatively new to Rincón’s culinary scene, AquaViva Rincón has achieved a loyal following. Visitors return for its consistency, authentic flavors, and family-like service. “At AquaViva Rincón, we not only offer a high-quality dining experience but also aim to be a gathering place for those who wish to enjoy authentic Puerto Rican cuisine in a cozy and vibrant environment,” Andrea emphasizes.

Each visit to AquaViva Rincón is an invitation to discover and celebrate the richness of Puerto Rican gastronomy in a space that combines flavor, culture, and hospitality.
