It’s hard to go out to eat these days without breaking the bank. But SLC has a plethora of delicious and affordable options. Here’s a roundup of just some of the cheap eats under $10.

If you’re a morning person, you’re in luck. Sweet Lake Biscuits & Limeade offers an early bird menu (all under $10) Monday-Friday until 10 a.m.

The renowned State Street taco cart serves tacos from $2-$4 and burritos from $7-$10.

I come here when I miss the Costco polish dogs (RIP). You can get a hot dog combo with fries and drink for around $10.

Satisfy your savory ($4.24-$5.50 each) and sweet ($2.69-$2.99 each) cravings with kolaches, they’re sort of like rolls with fillings.

Get the best bang for your buck at SLC’s Chinatown. A cheesy Korean hot dog is around $5 at SanFran Burrito N Fryz. Afterwards, head inside 85C Bakery or the Chinatown Supermarket for a pastry between $2-$5.

This is one of my favorite places for boba, but they also have snacky foods, most under $10. Try the green onion pancakes and popcorn chicken.

What are your favorite cheap eats?
