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.

The approach

Private events are where Newport Beach catering gets personal. Sol Agave handles the food, the setup, and the timing so the host can actually be a guest. Harbor town at scale — yacht clubs, Fashion Island, Balboa Peninsula surf and dive bars, and cliffside estates from Dover Shores to Pelican Hill.

From the first quote to packing up the last tray, one person runs your event from our side. That is the whole point.

  • 01

    Right-sized menus — a backyard 30th in Corona del Mar runs differently from a 150-guest quinceañera, and the menu reflects it.

  • 02

    Bilingual coordinators who know the family-event playbook — pacing, second helpings, takeaway boxes for abuela.

  • 03

    Equipment, linens, and serveware available a-la-carte so you only pay for what you actually need.

On the menu
Big yacht-club and Fashion Island crowd — expect a raw bar, ceviche and aguachile trio, plated pulpo, and a proper dessert tray.

Newport Beach spans the harbor at the mouth of the Santa Ana River and covers everything from the Balboa Peninsula and Balboa Island through Lido Isle, Newport Heights, Dover Shores, Big Canyon, Newport Coast, and Corona del Mar. The harbor itself holds more than 9,000 boats across four yacht clubs — Balboa, Newport, Bahia Corinthian, and American Legion Yacht Club. Balboa Pier and Newport Pier bookend the peninsula, and the Balboa Fun Zone with the historic Balboa Pavilion and Ferris wheel is the harbor centerpiece. The Wedge at the tip of the peninsula is one of the most photographed bodysurfing breaks in the world, and 34th Street to 56th Street covers the classic peninsula surf lineup. Back Bay — the Upper Newport Bay Nature Preserve — is 1,000 acres of estuary with a 10-mile loop trail for hiking, running, and paddling. Fashion Island at the base of San Joaquin Hills Road is the retail and civic anchor, next to the Newport Beach Civic Center and Central Library. Newport Harbor High and CdM High feed a heavy calendar of graduation and parent-organized events. John Wayne Airport sits at the city's inland edge. Sol Agave caters yacht-club member events, Balboa Island block parties, Fashion Island office lunches, and dockside charter parties out of Lido Marina Village.
