5 Meals for under $5
Created by: Licoritch
Livin' cheap ain't easy. A $5 meal used to be no problem, but it's not that easy any more. I get sad when I see the price for a burrito go over $5 ($6 if you dare to add guacamole).

Tacos Lupita
While other burrito places jack up their prices, Tacos Lupita is still the place to get your cheap Mexican (Salvadorian) grub. I would suggest a chicken tamale with extra hot sauce. The burritos are also under $5 if you're really craving.
Your Bill: $3 -
Moody's Falafel Palace
There is a good reason why this place is always packed at lunch. A tasty falafel or shwarma wrap comes loaded with tomatoes, onions, great hot sauce. Extra fees for add-ins? I think not.
Your Bill: $4

Brookline Lunch
Insanely cheap Middle Eastern style breakfast menu (served all day). Get an hefty omelet loaded with veggies, a side of potatoes and toast.
Your Bill: $5 -
Cafe Mami
The normal menu is priced a little higher, but they have great lunch specials for $5 flat. Get the yaki-don (spicy sliced beef bowl).

Pinocchio's
Two slices of Sicilian-style tomato basil is hearty, filling, and delicious. The other slices are good too, but tomato basil is where to spend your money.
Your Bill: $4
What other people are saying about this guide:
Why no Boca Grande? I know Harvard students that have lived on that place for years.
Moody's will charge you an additional $1.25 for adding hummus to your wrap.. Also, the plates even though they are over $5, they are almost enough for 2 people to share and also a great deal.
