Cheap but filling: most calories per dollar
If "cheap" also needs to mean "filling," look at calories per dollar, which shows how much food your money actually buys.

How to eat at GYG for less
- Order tacos or a quesadilla, not a burrito. A cheese quesadilla ($5.00) or a couple of tacos beats a $14+ burrito or a $16+ nachos.
- Skip the meal upgrade. Fries and a drink add $5.90–$6.90, often more than the food itself. A cheap extra filling adds protein for far less.
- Two tacos ≈ $11.60. Each taco is the same price, so two make a full plate for less than a burrito.
- Load free extras. Salsas, onion, coriander, pickled jalapeños and lettuce swaps cost nothing and bulk out an order.
