Don't see one of your favorite affordable dishes here? You can submit a write-in nominee by emailing stephanie.toone@ajc.com.

If you're still craving free food, there are Georgia restaurants where your meal is free if you eat it all. There are also non-pricey options to satisfy your taco cravings or need for something surprising and overlooked.

But don't just take it from us. Let Atlanta chefs recommend cheap eats.
