I want to know where these "casual restaurants" where entrees are $8-12 but "not disgusting crap" are, please.

In DC (and the burbs). You do realize that expensive doesn't automatically mean healthy? Primarily I'm thinking of Thai, Indian, Vietnamese, Middle Eastern restaurants that we go to - though there are others, you neighborhood cafe, for example.

Tortilla Cafe, across the street from Eastern Market. No matter how much we order, it never costs more than about $25 for a family of 3. And it's mostly healthy--roasted chicken, salads, traditional Salvadorean food. Delicious, highly recommend it!

After I saw your post I was curious to try the place. My husband and I went there today and paid 11.50 for a Cuban sandwich with 2 sides, empanada, Papusa and a maracaya drink. Just enough food for two adults . The place is awesome!!!!!
