Reno's best cheap eateries!

[Ryan Jerz]

You've had your bar conversation, but let's get down to what we all care about - cheap food. Where do you get the best meal under $10 (if you're a student, feel free to keep it under $7)? All kinds. Do you hit Indian food buffets, Pho, that hot dog guy by the river? Burgers, tacos, wings? Line 'em up.

glad we abandoned the bars for a bit. we hit pneumatic diner pretty often. it's cheap and you get lots of food for what you pay. the calzone is always a safe bet ... and there's always the india kabob and curry lunch buffet, under $8, and they make different dishes, so you don't always get the same spread. and they're better than curry's in the costco center. that's for sure!

PHO777 without a doubt!

Tacos el Rey on Sutro... without a doubt.

1. China East - Several of their dishes come in under $10, including their Sweet and Sour Chicken with Steamed Rice.
2. Woody's Hot Dogs downtown. If he isn't missing fingers, then he isnt the true Woody.
3. Starbucks Pre-Packaged Sandwhich + Odwalla lunch at Starbucks on California and Virginia.
4. A hispanic lady sells fresh Tamales in my neighborhood for $1 each each weekend.
5. Port of Subs - Easily can escape for under $10.
6. Nick's Greek Deli on Moran and Virginia

This is a new favorite of mine. Most of the items on the menu are $5.95 but don't let the price fool you, its excellent italian food with gourmet aspirations. Serving portions may not satisfy the heavy eater but I was filled up decent enough gauging myself as a 15 on a scale of 1 - 10 how heavy can you eat!

Great buffet for under $8 if you are into food. Its really worth a try if you have never tried Indian food before I say try it!!!

Nu Yalk Pizza. You can get a couple slices and even a soda or a beer. Good stuff. Another old Reno place - Gold N Silver. You're sure to see someone you know who claims they don't eat there.

[Ryan Jerz]

How did I forget the Gold N Silver!? That place is awesome. And cheap!

[Erik]

agreed, always a good place to go for breakfast or well any meal for that matter, even for a poor student like myself

I have one more favorite - that I haven't visited in a long time, but it's a Reno icon - Casale's Halfway Club.

I am really partial to Beunos at the Mayberry Landing strip mall at Mayberry and McCarren. Kick-ass shrimp burritoes, friendly owner/staff, good salsa. Their prices could be a little lower (I think the shrimp burrito is in the $7.95 range), but I still go. Often.
