sol agave - san clemente

2nd time here within the last month and this has been consistently exceptional. Both times service has been amazing. The margarita flights are superb. The food is pretty darn authentic. Both times the food has been tasty, fresh and hot. We have been to their other location in San Juan Cap and it is night and day. The chef and management at this location are in a different league. Do yourself a favor and hit this place up for good food and drinks. Pros: Cleanliness, service, drinks & food quality Negatives: absolutely nothing

Sol Agave in San Clemente is an open airy restaurant located in the heart of Downtown San Clemente. It offers tasty Mexican food and drinks. There is plenty of seating both inside and outside and great for small and large parties. We were a group of eight and we immediately sat and were quickly greeted by our waiter. We ordered drinks and appetizers which came out fast. When it was time to order our food, we all went around and put in our orders. Our food came out in a great timely fashion and everything was delicious! I ordered the tacos de hongo which was very yummy. If I were in the area again, I would definitely come back. However, I noticed they have other locations, one being closer to my neck of the woods, Santa Monica. I’m hoping the service and food will be just as good.

If you dine at a Mexican restaurant and the chips and salsa are no bueno, chances are the food would suck too. Not the case with Sol Agave! The chips were delicious as were both the salsa and bean dip. Two of us both tried the Agave salad with chicken - also absolutely delicious! The presentation was really attractive and they used a variety of greens and etc that made it simply perfect. The chicken was all breast, seasoned to perfection, and very juicy - actually, I couldn't finish all the chicken; very generous portion. The only drawback was that both doors were open and it's only 58 out.... we both froze. Will definitely come back when the weather is warmer.
