I love articles that list the best restaurants, the worst restaurants, the best bars, and similar lists for a particular city. I don't always agree, but more often than not they get me to look at a place again or make me want to try out a place I've never been to.
The Boston Phoenix picks the 50 best meals in the city that you can get for under $10. The choices range from the Tasca Lunch Salad at Pastis for $8.95 to the Cubano Sandwich at the Miami Cafe for $5.50. The all you can eat Taco Lunch Box at the Sunset Grill and Tap is only $6.99 (they also have 112 beers on tap and another 400 in bottle!), and the Chicken Sub at Il Panino Express sounds good at only $5.95 . I also have to try out the famous Mac & Cheese at the Bukowski Tavern (named after the writer). Comes with a choice of sausage or broccoli, but you can get it with bacon too. It's $9.00 and you can get it at 1:30 in the morning on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. As for their #1 choice, I can personally vouch for that. It's excellent.
I would add the burritos at Boca Grande (a couple of locations, one in Coolidge Corner). When I was tight on funds their giant "burritos grande" for $4.25 really helped me out.
