Costa Mesa, CA
Private event catering in Costa Mesa for birthdays, graduations, quinceañeras, and every milestone in between.
“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.”

Private events are where Costa Mesa catering gets personal. Sol Agave handles the food, the setup, and the timing so the host can actually be a guest. Design-district energy at SoBeCa and The Lab, OC Fair grounds crowds, and a working-class heart along Harbor and Newport Boulevards.
From the first quote to packing up the last tray, one person runs your event from our side. That is the whole point.
Right-sized menus — a backyard 30th in Newport Beach runs differently from a 150-guest quinceañera, and the menu reflects it.
Bilingual coordinators who know the family-event playbook — pacing, second helpings, takeaway boxes for abuela.
Equipment, linens, and serveware available a-la-carte so you only pay for what you actually need.

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.
