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 Irvine every week — backyards, corporate parks, wedding venues, and everything in between. Corporate account volume from the Spectrum and Business Complex — drop-off Basic trays hit the ground five days a week.

Whether the table is a 30-person backyard or a 300-guest reception at Irvine Improv, 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.

Corporate account volume from the Spectrum and Business Complex — drop-off Basic trays hit the ground five days a week.

Irvine is the largest master-planned city in Orange County, built out from the original Irvine Ranch across 66 square miles and organized into named villages — Woodbridge, Turtle Rock, University Park, Northwood, Woodbury, Portola Springs, Great Park Neighborhoods, Quail Hill, and more — each with its own community park, pool, and elementary school. The University of California, Irvine anchors the west side with 36,000 students and a heavy conference-catering calendar at the Student Center and Beckman Center. The Irvine Business Complex around John Wayne Airport, plus the Irvine Spectrum at the base of the 5/405 merge, house Blizzard Entertainment, Broadcom, Rivian, Edwards Lifesciences, Allergan, Taco Bell HQ, and hundreds of smaller employers — this is Sol Agave's biggest source of weekday corporate catering volume in the county. Woodbridge's two man-made lakes with their private beach clubs and William R. Mason Regional Park's 339 acres frame the residential green space. Bommer Canyon, Quail Hill Loop, Turtle Rock Nature Center, and the Great Park's 194-acre balloon-and-carousel campus cover the outdoor calendar. Tustin Metrolink and the Irvine Metrolink station off Jamboree handle rail; OCTA routes 66, 79, 86, 167, and 212 plus the iShuttle cover the surface network. Sol Agave runs standing daily corporate lunches through the Spectrum and Business Complex, weekend live-taqueros at Woodbridge and Turtle Rock, and UCI conference catering.
