Since there are not many official newspaper good cheap eats lists left I decided to share mine. I have been going to a lot of restaurants in Portland since 1990, when I first moved here.
These are for lunch specifically. Most are in the $12 to 18 range for one person for lunch without drink. Some have the same price for dinner as well. Many have great lunch specials.
These don't include fast food chains, like Chipotle or Qdoba which I also enjoy, although I do have a few chain sit down restaurants I like on occasion.
Most are in East Portland because that is where I have lived since 1994.
I have notes on dishes I like and prices that are cheap.
I do have a few higher priced places that have lunch for special occasions like Javelina.
