Inexpensive Eating in SOMA and vicinity

The idea for this thread came up in the Downtown Millburn thread. 

First question is what do we count as “inexpensive”. Maybe a full seated dinner for an adult coming in under $25/person?  Maybe stretch that the $35 in a licensed establishment when adding a single alcoholic beverage? Tax and tip included  

Or should we set the bar lower?

Maybe two categories- “inexpensive” using the rules above and “cheap” if you can get well-fed for under $20.

Toro Loco will fill you up with yummy food for around $20, although there are some more expensive items on the menu. 

I think the Gate fits into this category.

hmm, I think most Asian cuisine falls under this category - like Wild Ginger.  Or burger/pizza places like Bunny's or Pickett's.   Perhaps the Trattoria?

Thai House in Millburn has $10 lunch specials.  The middle eastern place on Vauxhall in the Millburn Mall is reasonably priced.
