You can eat for under $5 at Rusty Taco. Maddens and Chef Tai's food trucks have great food, variety for carnivores and vegetarians alike. Not terribly "low" re price, but you can do for around $8 or so.
I agree about Heberts and IHOP. The only problem with IHOP is that during the semesters, it can get pretty crowded when the first round of exams start and during finals.

Is the $5 taco plate not listed on La Bodega's menu for some reason? Because I'm looking at it right now and not seeing it. Great deal if it actually exists.
The new Casa Rod Express on Southwest has around 8 5.99 lunch specials. We've been impressed with the quality and service so far, upgrade from Mi-Concina/Polly's Cocina.
