“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.”

Taco bars are what we do most. Sol Agave runs taco catering across San Juan Capistrano every week — backyards, corporate parks, wedding venues, and everything in between. Mission-town guests want tradition — real carnitas, pressed corn tortillas, a proper mole, and horchata by the gallon.
Whether the table is a 30-person backyard or a 300-guest reception at Mission San Juan Capistrano courtyard, the playbook is the same: real masa, live cooking, hot tacos.
Tortillas pressed in-house from real masa — not bagged from a distributor.
Six-plus protein options including carnitas, al pastor, carne asada, chicken, grilled shrimp, and a vegetarian build.
Salsas, escabeche, and garnishes made same-day — the salsa bar is the whole experience.
Instant estimate
Our most popular taco-catering setup is the Original package with a live taquero. San Juan Capistrano crowds with bigger appetites or pickier eaters often jump to Deluxe for the extra proteins and sides.
A few quick details for an instant estimate. No obligation.
We reply within one business day with a full menu and confirmed pricing.
Local knowledge
San Juan Capistrano is the oldest continuously inhabited neighborhood in Orange County, founded around Mission San Juan Capistrano in 1776. The mission, the ruins of the Great Stone Church, and the annual Return of the Swallows on March 19 draw close to 300,000 visitors a year. The Los Rios Historic District across the tracks from the mission is the oldest residential neighborhood in California, with adobes dating to the late 1700s and shaded gardens now hosting Zoomars Petting Zoo, the Ramos House Café, and small weddings under century-old pepper trees. The San Juan Capistrano Metrolink and Amtrak Pacific Surfliner station sits in the middle of downtown next to the Franciscan Plaza. Equestrian culture is written into the zoning — the Reata Park, Sycamore Trails Stables, and the Blenheim EquiSports show grounds keep the city's horse-first identity intact. The San Juan Creek Trail runs from the mission down through Capistrano Beach to Doheny, and Caspers Wilderness Park to the east opens 8,000 acres of oak canyon and mountain-lion country for hiking. Rancho Mission Viejo and Ladera Ranch feed in from the north on Ortega Highway. Sol Agave caters mission-adjacent weddings at The Villas, Los Rios private-home rehearsal dinners, and quinceañeras at the Community Center — with menus built around traditional Californio flavors the mission crowd expects.
