This week's Best of Atlanta poll discovered the best meals for $10 or under. While it's nice to be fancy every now and then, most of us are looking for the biggest bang for our buck.

Prepared from scratch, the Cuban Sandwich at Lazaro's Cuban Cuisine (North Fulton) will leave you experiencing Cuban cuisine at its finest in Atlanta and a great lunch. Coming in first place, this should be a staple go-to on your foodie list.

It's no surprise that any two sandwiches at Victory Sandwich Bar (Intown and DeKalb) takes second prize. You'll be pinching yourself when you leave after a satisfying meal that didn't break the bank.

Coming in third, Phở at So Ba (East Atlanta) is sure to fill you up with the best Vietnamese comfort food around. We suggest pairing it with their salt and pepper fried tofu.

Lucky for you, you can catch a great meal for under $10 all around town as well: Grilled Cheese and small soup at Souper Jenny (North Fulton, DeKalb, Westside), Cola BBQ Braised Pork Shoulder Sandwich at Twain's Brewpub & Billiards (DeKalb), Tacos at Mi Barrio (Intown), Nachos All The Way at Taco Mac (Cobb, Gwinnett, Intown) and Pimento Cheese Sandwich at Home Grown (Intown).

Here are nine Atlanta restaurants where your meal is free if you can eat it all.
