i had this happen to me on friday night, just stalled at a set of lights (luckily no-one around), then started up again fine. The next day i was coming out of a shopping centre, just got over the hill and stalled again.
Figured it was because 1st cylinder ignition lead was fucked so the car was running erraticaly...
Change the leads, they're only about $30

im assuming that the car is injected so ill work from there. heres a few things it could be.
-leak in the induction pipe, ie anywhere between the throttle body and airbox.
-clogged or damaged etc vacuum hoses. ie the ones that run from the throttle body to the airbox or whatever.
-timing? - if the car runs fine then i doubt it will be this and especially if the mechanic said its fine.
-could be leads as prev mentioned
-clogged air filter element
if the vacuum hoses are damaged in any way or the induction pipe has a hole in it or is leaking even at the clamps then the sensors in the pipe or airbox will not be getting correct readings on air temp and flow etc hence the computer getting wrong readings and not idling properly. if the vacuum hoses are damaged then the engine wont be getting enough air at idle hence its stalling
if all that turns out alright then maybe its just the idle screw
hope that helps. leigh

Mine stalled when the steering was at full lock  You'd notice it bubbling and the revs dropping so you just tapped the gas and everything was alright
