“I love Sol Agave! The food is always fresh, the salsas are next level, and the staff treats you like family every single time. The birria tacos and street tacos are must-orders — I've brought half of San Clemente here at this point.”
“My wife and I had our Valentine's dinner here and it was incredible. The service was attentive, the drinks were strong, and the pulpo a las brasas was one of the best dishes we've had all year. Already planning our anniversary dinner here too.”
“Delicious food, honest to god some of the best Mexican food in south OC. The carnitas taco is unreal and the margaritas are perfect. Staff went out of their way to help with a large family group. Highly recommend.”

Sol Agave has been catering Mexican food across Costa Mesa, CA since our kitchen opened — every tray, taco bar, and plated dinner comes out of the same line that runs our dining room. Design-district energy at SoBeCa and The Lab, OC Fair grounds crowds, and a working-class heart along Harbor and Newport Boulevards.
Whether the table is in Newport Beach, Irvine, or right in downtown Costa Mesa, the food is built and finished by the Sol Agave kitchen team — never handed to a third-party caterer.
Menus built around what Costa Mesa guests actually want — bright salsas, real masa, and plant-forward options that hold their own next to the carnitas.
Service that scales from a 20-person office lunch in Newport Beach to a 400-guest event at The Lab Anti-Mall.
One coordinator from quote to clean-up — no handoffs, no surprises on event day.

Local knowledge
Costa Mesa sits between Newport Beach and the 405 with two identities pulling at it — the design and creative district on the east side (SoBeCa, The Lab, The Camp, Segerstrom Center for the Arts, and South Coast Plaza, one of the highest-grossing malls in the United States) and the working-class Westside built around Newport and Harbor Boulevards and the OC Fair and Event Center. The OC Fair itself pulls more than a million people every July and August across the 150-acre fairgrounds. Fairview Park's 208 acres on the Westside bluff include the Fairview Regional Nature Preserve and vernal pools; TeWinkle Park and the Costa Mesa Bark Park round out the green space. Vanguard University and Orange Coast College sit inside the city limits and drive year-round conference and event catering. Automobile Club of Southern California HQ, Experian, Pacific Life, and a dense web of ad agencies and design firms cluster along Anton Boulevard next to South Coast Plaza — the source of most weekday corporate catering. The Segerstrom Center handles Broadway tours, the LA Phil's OC residency, and Pacific Symphony. There is no Metrolink stop; OCTA routes 43, 47, 55, 57, and 76 cover the arterials. Sol Agave caters agency office lunches around Anton, birria-forward pop-ups tied to design-district retailers, and backyard quinceañeras across the Westside.
Two to four weeks is comfortable for most Costa Mesa events. Weekends in peak season fill up faster — reach out as soon as you have a date.
We regularly cover Newport Beach, Irvine, Santa Ana, Huntington Beach, Fountain Valley, Corona del Mar, and we will travel further for full-service bookings. Mention the venue in the form and we will confirm.
Yes. Younger creative crowd — birria ramen upgrades, mezcal-forward bar tie-ins, and plant-forward taco options carry the menu. Every package can be tailored to gluten-free, dairy-free, vegan, and most allergen-free needs.
Drop-off trays arrive set up with serving utensils. Taco bars include a live taquero. Full-service events come with chafers, plateware, and on-site staff for the duration.
