Dana Point, CA
Private event catering in Dana Point 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 Dana Point catering gets personal. Sol Agave handles the food, the setup, and the timing so the host can actually be a guest. Working harbor, five-diamond resorts, and a headland trail with whale watching — Dana Point catering swings from yacht-club polish to Doheny sand-and-taco.
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 Capistrano 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
Dana Point wraps around a natural headland that shelters Dana Point Harbor, home to more than 2,400 boat slips, the Ocean Institute, the tall ship Pilgrim's original berth, and the Dana Wharf sport-fishing fleet. The city sits between Laguna Beach and San Clemente, with Monarch Beach, Capistrano Beach, and Niguel Shores as its main neighborhoods. Salt Creek Beach and Strand Beach anchor the resort corridor along Ritz-Carlton Drive, and the Salt Creek Beach Trail, Bluff Top Trail, and Headlands Conservation Park loop above them for coastal hikes with whale-watching turnouts every winter. The Waldorf Astoria Monarch Beach, The Ritz-Carlton Laguna Niguel, and Monarch Beach Golf Links form one of the densest luxury-resort clusters in Orange County. Doheny State Beach at the north end hosts the Doheny Blues Festival and the Ohana Festival, while the Festival of Whales runs harbor-wide every March. Public transit is limited to OCTA routes 1 and 91; the closest Metrolink and Amtrak stops are San Juan Capistrano and San Clemente Pier. Doheny to San Clemente is a five-minute drive off PCH, which keeps Sol Agave's Camino De Los Mares kitchen inside 15 minutes of every Dana Point venue. We cater harbor slip parties, headlands wedding receptions, Ocean Institute private buyouts, and taco bars for the surf and paddle communities up at Doheny and Salt Creek.
Yes. Most of our private-event work is in homes across Capistrano Beach, Monarch Beach, Laguna Niguel and the rest of the Dana Point area.
