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 Newport Beach every week — backyards, corporate parks, wedding venues, and everything in between. Big yacht-club and Fashion Island crowd — expect a raw bar, ceviche and aguachile trio, plated pulpo, and a proper dessert tray.

Whether the table is a 30-person backyard or a 300-guest reception at Balboa Bay Resort, 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.

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.
