Lucille's! They have some of the tastiest ribs around SoCal.
I've been to the ones in Brea and Long Beach. Now I hear there's gonna be a new one just a block down the street from me in Tustin! Yessss....

A close second for tri-tip is
Wood Ranch BBQ in Anaheim Hills and Lakewood.

They don't slice up the tri-tip, but serve it in a big steak and it is tender and juicy!
