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

Taco bars are what we do most. Sol Agave runs taco catering across Costa Mesa every week — backyards, corporate parks, wedding venues, and everything in between. Younger creative crowd — birria ramen upgrades, mezcal-forward bar tie-ins, and plant-forward taco options carry the menu.

Whether the table is a 30-person backyard or a 300-guest reception at The Lab Anti-Mall, the playbook is the same: real masa, live cooking, hot tacos.

  • 01

    Tortillas pressed in-house from real masa — not bagged from a distributor.

  • 02

    Six-plus protein options including carnitas, al pastor, carne asada, chicken, grilled shrimp, and a vegetarian build.

  • 03

    Salsas, escabeche, and garnishes made same-day — the salsa bar is the whole experience.

Younger creative crowd — birria ramen upgrades, mezcal-forward bar tie-ins, and plant-forward taco options carry the menu.

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.
