SLIDESHOWS: 10 Best Restaurant Dishes $12 and Under

Blackjack Quesadilla: Kogi Trucks, Los Angeles

Devoted Kogi fans relentlessly track the Korean taco trucks' locations on Twitter. But even Kogi's co-founder and chef, Roy Choi, was impressed by the 20-strong group that Tweeted him to say they were caravanning from Las Vegas just to have his food. Could Choi create something special? He could, and the result is phenomenal. His blackjack quesadilla mixes grilled, marinated pork belly, Jack cheese and a potent roasted garlic–jalapeño sauce; the $7 dish is now a Kogi best seller. —Kate Krader
