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 San Clemente catering gets personal. Sol Agave handles the food, the setup, and the timing so the host can actually be a guest. San Clemente is Sol Agave home base — Spanish-tile rooftops, blufftop ceremonies above Trestles, and laid-back beach receptions are the default setting.

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 Dana Point 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
Coastal Orange County guests expect bright, citrus-forward Mexican food with serious seafood — ceviche, aguachile, and grilled pulpo show up on a lot of menus.

San Clemente sits at the far southern edge of Orange County where the 5 Freeway meets the Pacific, and every corner of the city is shaped by that geography. Downtown Avenida Del Mar drops toward the San Clemente Pier and the 2.3-mile Beach Trail, which links San Clemente State Beach, T-Street, Lasuen Beach, North Beach and the Amtrak Pacific Surfliner platform. World Famous Trestles at the north end draws surfers from around the world, and the San Onofre bluffs above it are federal land inside Camp Pendleton. Inland, the master-planned Talega and Forster Ranch neighborhoods anchor family life around parks like Steed, Vista Del Mar, and San Gorgonio, plus the Talega and Bella Collina golf clubs. Casa Romantica Cultural Center perches over the pier and hosts most of the city's blufftop weddings, with Ole Hanson Beach Club, The Casino San Clemente, and the Bellevue Vineyards estates rounding out the local venue circuit. Public transit runs on OCTA bus routes plus Metrolink and Amtrak at the pier and North Beach stations. San Clemente hosts the Ocean Festival every July, the Fiesta Music Festival on Avenida Del Mar in August, and Christmas by the Sea in December — Sol Agave caters private events tied to every one of them. Our Camino De Los Mares kitchen is a 10-minute drive to any San Clemente venue, so hot food, real masa, and live taquero setups land on time with no highway padding.
