It’s impossible to miss The Crab Cooker’s bright red building from the street in Tustin, and once you take the first taste of the restaurant’s delicious seafood dishes, you’ll be glad that you didn’t. This local favorite eatery serves some of the freshest seafood in town, including a clam chowder that keeps regulars coming back again and again. The atmosphere at The Crab Cooker is lively, colorful, and family-friendly, and there is even a fish market inside that sells fresh fish that you can cook at home.

Stop by for lunch or dinner and enjoy Alaskan king crab legs, raw oysters, shrimp skewers, and other tasty dishes served in small or large sizes, along with sides like rice pilaf and cole slaw. The Crab Cooker offers a small selection of draft beers and wines for of-age guests, as well as shareable appetizers that everyone at the table can enjoy.

Today is Election Day. Be sure to get out and vote!

You can probably expect to encounter a crowd if you come to Holé Molé on a Tuesday—better known as Taco Tuesday by its regulars. That's because the Mexican eatery's tacos, which are reasonably priced on a normal day, will only run you $1.15 apiece on Taco Tuesday. Order one stuffed with carne asada, chicken, grilled shrimp, or fish, or create a smorgasbord of every type of taco. You can choose from soft corn or flour tortillas or a hard corn shell.

No matter when you come to Holé Molé, however, you can always snag some classic fare from south of the border. During breakfast, the restaurant dishes out fare like the steak and egg burrito with carne asada and cheese (you can also get it as a quesadilla, torta, or bowl, like all of the morning eats). For lunch and dinner, tacos share menu space with burritos, enchiladas, tostadas, tortas, and the popular nachos. Save some room for fried ice cream at the end of your meal.
