Irvine Auto Care is great place to get your car serviced. They one of the few honest mechanics. Maybe that is why they have been in business for so many years. Geoff, the owner, and John, the service manager are great people and friendly.
They will give you a ride back to work or home after dropping off your car. If you need a ride back to get your car, that is OK too!

Visited this place a month ago and I keep coming back. Nice Live music, great diverse crowd ( average age 40 ) but a little of everything. Everyone's been very friendly, the staff especially. Nice relaxed atmosphere, friendly people, not all the douche's and princess's in most OC bars... lots of dancing here, too.
Pros: Friendly, Diverse crowd.
Cons: It closes ;o(

I expected a satisfying meal (as I'm almost never disappointed with Mediterranean food), but Christaki's succeeded in not only being far and away the best Greek I've ever had, but one of the best restaurants I've ever been to. The calamari was light and crispy, not too heavy with a batter that didn't overwhelm the calamari. Also started with the lemon-chicken soup which was outstanding. I love lamb, so I tried the grilled lamb chops and I have to say, they were the most perfectly prepared lamb chops I have ever had. My wife had salmon, which was also quite good (though you'd have to try pretty hard to mess up salmon).
The restaurant was surprisingly empty for a weekend evening, though on the way out I realized that many tables were seated outside. They had a classical/spanish style guitarist playing inside which added to the cozy authenticity of the place, and it was clear that it was family run as the owner was our server and voices were raised when he went back into the kitchen.
Bottom line, I've only been there once (I live in the Bay Area) but it was one of the best overall restaurant experiences I've ever had.
Pros: Incredible food, atmosphere/music, authentic feel
Cons: Not "cheap" (though not incredibly expensive)

I would highly recommend the McCharles House. My sister took me here for a luncheon and I was in awe of it all. Vivian and Audrey have made everything so very welcoming. An old house that is decorated lovely. The food is prepared fresh daily, using herbs and flowers from their garden. I can't tell you how wonderful it is. I would visit daily if I lived nearby.
AWESOME!

I bought 2 Acuras there and service my car there. I have gone to other Acura dealerships and the service & sales experience is not even close. The employees there are really good, they explain things well and don't pressure me into things I dont need or make me feel bad because i chose not to do something they recommended. They advise me and let me make my own decision. There are 2 closer acura dealers and i don't think twice about passing them by to go to Tustin. I always go back to them because they take the time to get to know me and my TL and ALL the personnel there are really great. They have a great waiting area with HD TV and Wifi, and I feel safe and at home there. It's a great & friendly place!

I've been to Kobe's twice and thoroughly enjoyed it both times. The steak and chicken combo is amazing...one thousand times better than Benihana's. Our chef (Solo) was A LOT of fun...after our meal, he joined us in the bar to continue the good time. I will definitely go back! Kobe's has Benihana's beat, hands down. Higher quality food, better chefs and the prices are comparable.
Pros: Great food, Great Chefs
Cons: No cons!

They have great mexican food and an amazing salsa bar. The pico de gallo is the best. They have a veggie wrap that is so good! The prices are fairly inexpensive. There has never been a wait when I have gone in and the service is fast.

The Sandwich Box (the locals call it "Box") is the perfect Tustin lunchtime option for those who are true fans of box. The clean look of both the interior as well as those that prepare your sandwiches is appealing to even the most stuck-up connoisseurs of box-munching. There are sandwich options from around the world, such the Mexican Box, Italian Box, Texan Box, and the incredibly popular Cuban Box. Those that get a piece of the Cuban Box regularly will tell you it is best to do it dry ? mayo is an unwelcome substance in the Cuban Box.
Perhaps the most popular option is the Sloppy Box (the menu calls it ?sloppy joe?). Sloppy Box is always served piping hot and extra sloppy. You can expect a significant amount of clean-up after chowing Sloppy Box, so I recommend that you keep a towel nearby. Box could enhance the dining experience by providing box-wipes for the clean up. The Sloppy Box is particularly prized as leftovers, which are referred to as Sloppy Seconds. There is no need to re-heat the Sloppy Seconds as it is already primed and ready to go. Tasting somebody else?s Sloppy Seconds is not something that everybody enjoys, so one should be careful not to mix up their Box with another's.
A few might desire the Tuna Box, or the Grandma?s Egg Salad Box. But really, who wants a box that smells like tuna or eggs? Seriously?
There are plenty of Vegetarian Box options for those of hippie origins that do not enjoy the unlimited pleasures of consuming flesh. However, these people are likely too frail to venture beyond the door of the health food store they work, so they just usually munch on some granola box for lunch.
In summary, The Box is an incredible lunch choice if you are in the mood to put some variety in your box-eating activities. Give it a try, there is a box for everybody!
Pros: BOX!
Cons: Bock! Eeehoo. Bock!
