“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 Lake Forest, CA since our kitchen opened — every tray, taco bar, and plated dinner comes out of the same line that runs our dining room. Two private lakes, Whiting Ranch canyons out the back door, and the Foothill Ranch business corridor — family-plus-corporate mix.
Whether the table is in Mission Viejo, Foothill Ranch, or right in downtown Lake Forest, the food is built and finished by the Sol Agave kitchen team — never handed to a third-party caterer.
Menus built around what Lake Forest 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 Mission Viejo to a 400-guest event at The Lake Forest I and II clubhouses (private).
One coordinator from quote to clean-up — no handoffs, no surprises on event day.

Local knowledge
Lake Forest sits at the base of the Santa Ana Mountains where the 5 Freeway meets the 241 Toll Road, and the city is built around two private residential lakes — The Lake Forest I on Serrano Road and The Lake Forest II off Lake Forest Drive — each with its own beach club, sailing, and paddle programs reserved for residents. Whiting Ranch Wilderness Park at the north end opens more than 4,300 acres of oak-canyon and single-track above Foothill Ranch, with Red Rock Canyon, Cattle Pond, and Vista Lookout as the marquee stops. Heritage Hill Historical Park downtown preserves four restored buildings from the original 1880s Serrano Ranch. The Foothill Ranch and Baker Ranch business districts along the 241 house Kaiser Permanente Regional HQ, Del Taco corporate, Panasonic Avionics, Oakley, and dozens of engineering and biotech firms — the source of most weekday corporate catering in Lake Forest. Etnies Skatepark of Lake Forest is the largest free public skatepark in the country and hosts private-buyout birthdays for the skater kids. There is no Metrolink stop; OCTA routes 82 and 87 cover the arterials and iShuttle links to the Irvine station. Sol Agave runs standing weekly office rotations at the Baker Ranch and Foothill Ranch business parks, plus weekend live-taquero setups at private homes across Baker Ranch, Portola Springs, and the two lake communities.
Two to four weeks is comfortable for most Lake Forest events. Weekends in peak season fill up faster — reach out as soon as you have a date.
We regularly cover Mission Viejo, Foothill Ranch, Portola Hills, Rancho Santa Margarita, Laguna Hills, Irvine, and we will travel further for full-service bookings. Mention the venue in the form and we will confirm.
Yes. Corporate rotations Monday to Thursday, lake-club and backyard birthdays on the weekends — the menu spans both. 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.
