Grape Leaf Mediterranean Grill - Tustin

Addendum: Support this great food find! Now offering take out. Our 'go-to ' restaurant. Tried just about everything on the menu...always delicious! Fresh, Delicious and Great Value! With a first-rate staff. Atmosphere is clean, comfortable inviting...with nice thematic music playing all the time. The owner, Moe, is a veteran restauranteur and has a winning formula in Off the Boat Fish Grill .

Our friends took us here last night for the first time. Excellent food. The rice and beans were the best we have ever had. The staff was super friendly and helpful. This is now our new favorite fast casual restaurant.

We go here once or twice a week...so I'm a little biased! This is a small, unpretentious restaurant. Order at the counter and serve yourself your drinks. The food is incredible! Sometimes I get a bowl. No lard in the beans. Sometimes I get the carnitas tacos--really tasty! My husband likes the Surf and Turf skewers with shrimp and steak. They have salads--truly something for everyone! The staff is always friendly, no matter who helps us. And everything is kept sparkling clean!

Then it seems like the cook had different moods one day awesome one day over cooked. I loved it so bad that I came back the same day. Then...not the same along the days. Try at your discretion. May be the owner is there, and is cooking. In that case you have a very good reason to be there.

This restaurant has only been open in Tustin for a couple of months so I don't understand the poor reviews about coming here two years ago. Must be some mix up. I have been here four times now! I love the friendliness of the staff, the quick turn around with the meals, the taste of the food and the great prices. I love the grilled fish tacos where I get two and a side of beans. I'm not a rice eater, but love the other items. There is a salsa bar that I hadn't noticed, yet the server asked if I wanted anything from it and after our chat, brought me two to try. Next time in, it will be for the Lobster. I've checked pricing and it is the best around so wearing a bib and showing up hungry!
