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 Lake Forest every week — backyards, corporate parks, wedding venues, and everything in between. Corporate rotations Monday to Thursday, lake-club and backyard birthdays on the weekends — the menu spans both.

Whether the table is a 30-person backyard or a 300-guest reception at The Lake Forest I and II clubhouses (private), 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.

On the menu
Corporate rotations Monday to Thursday, lake-club and backyard birthdays on the weekends — the menu spans both.

Lake Forest sits at the base of the Santa Ana Mountains where the 5 Freeway meets the 241 Toll Road, and the city is built around two private residential lakes — The Lake Forest I on Serrano Road and The Lake Forest II off Lake Forest Drive — each with its own beach club, sailing, and paddle programs reserved for residents. Whiting Ranch Wilderness Park at the north end opens more than 4,300 acres of oak-canyon and single-track above Foothill Ranch, with Red Rock Canyon, Cattle Pond, and Vista Lookout as the marquee stops. Heritage Hill Historical Park downtown preserves four restored buildings from the original 1880s Serrano Ranch. The Foothill Ranch and Baker Ranch business districts along the 241 house Kaiser Permanente Regional HQ, Del Taco corporate, Panasonic Avionics, Oakley, and dozens of engineering and biotech firms — the source of most weekday corporate catering in Lake Forest. Etnies Skatepark of Lake Forest is the largest free public skatepark in the country and hosts private-buyout birthdays for the skater kids. There is no Metrolink stop; OCTA routes 82 and 87 cover the arterials and iShuttle links to the Irvine station. Sol Agave runs standing weekly office rotations at the Baker Ranch and Foothill Ranch business parks, plus weekend live-taquero setups at private homes across Baker Ranch, Portola Springs, and the two lake communities.
