🦆 Eugene Meal Deals

Best Cheap Eats in Eugene
Two People, Under $20

🦆 Eugene  ·  12 verified deals  ·  Updated June 2026

Eugene is a University of Oregon college town with one of the state's best food-cart scenes, and that's where the value lives: taquerias and birria trucks, house-made ramen and the best pho in town, campus banh mi, a slice cart in a downtown alley, all-vegan plates, and classic diners. Two eat extremely well under $20. One heads-up — a lot of these are carts with their own rhythms, some closed Sundays or mid-week, so check hours before you roll up.

El Super Taco

Super Burritos · Al Pastor Fries

A West 11th hole-in-the-wall that locals (and homesick Californians) swear has the best tacos in town — super burritos, al-pastor supreme fries, shrimp burritos, and three salsas (red, green, habanero). Prices are, in one regular's words, beyond reasonable, so two eat a full spread for well under $20. Fast, authentic, humble. Closed Mon.

Quesabirria 2-for-$8 · $7 Breakfast Burrito

Two feast for around $15–18. Tiny enclosed-tent dining, super-friendly staff. Open daily.

Oaxacan Truck · Fiesta Bowls & Burritos

A spotless Oaxacan food truck (4.9 stars) with packed fiesta bowls, an outstanding shrimp-fajita burrito, mole enchiladas and fresh chips and salsa.

Toshi's Ramen

House Broth & Noodles · Cheapest Bowl Beloved

A Eugene ramen institution for over a decade — broth and noodles made in house, rich and flavorful, at fair prices. Regulars rave that even the plain miso bowl (the cheapest thing on the menu) is a pleasant surprise, so two can do bowls for around $20. Busy but quick, and the front-of-house crew is great.

Saigon Cafe

"Best Pho in Eugene" · Banh Mi

A warm, family-run spot on Commerce many call the best pho in Eugene — a rich, savory broth, tightly-wrapped fresh rolls with peanut sauce, crispy egg rolls, and even excellent vegetarian pho and spring rolls. Two eat for around $20, and the hospitality (constant laughing and smiles) is half the draw. A little out of the way, worth it. Closed Sun.

Za Cart Pizza

Downtown-Alley Slice Cart · Open Late

A tiny slice cart tucked in a downtown alley off Willamette, run by a genuinely lovely guy — quality ingredients, a hearty crust, and slices big enough that, as one regular says, you fill up with not much cash. Two split a few slices for around $12–15, open late into the night. A true Eugene character spot. Closed Tue.

Eugene's vegan gem — a rotating all-vegan menu of biscuits with mushroom gravy, BBQ soy-curl sandwiches, gnocchi and seasonal hashes, in a cozy patio space that feels like a friend's house. They pay full wages so they don't take tips, and the prices are surprisingly reasonable, so two eat for around $20. Small, so it fills up. Closed Mon–Tue.
