Steak for under $10

by vamptourgirl

Best steak for under $10. The place looks like a dive from outside, but go inside and order the ribeye. Excellent value for the price. Comes with fries or baked potato and a salad.

• Pros: steaks, prices, friendly
• Cons: small, not-fancy

Like being south of the border

by princesskatie79

Authentic Mexican, Cuban and Spanish food with numerous South American influences. Nothing over $10 -- like taking a tour of hispanic hot spots while still being able to drink the water. Try the burrito, Ropa Vieja or everything else on the menu.

• Pros: Cheap!!!, Authentic, in the Fr. Quarter
• Cons: language barrier

Run-down Charm, Excellent Dishes

by KFMoreau_Citysearch

Located in the heart of the French Quarter, Country Flame is a short walk from the Decatur or Bourbon Street action, and its eroded decor flirts with hole-in-the-wall status. But the food here is great, and much more than simple Mexican fare. There are also more "Americanized" options for tourists or diners with recovering stomachs. The threadbare atmosphere adds to the "authenticity" appeal. A great post-concert place.
