These days everything is getting more expensive, heck gas is still over three dollars a gallon. Most lunches these days are close to $15 but I found 10 places in Texarkana where you can get a really delicious lunch for not too much money.

Here are the top 10 based on Yelp reviews.

This one makes me sad. One of the staples of downtown lunch spots, TLC had a major fire and is in the process of rebuilding. I can't wait for a Jalapeno Cheeseburger with some of the famous "Red River Sand". You can see the latest on the rebuild in Lisa's story. TLC is located in downtown Texarkana on Broad Street.

3. Loca Luna Mexican Restaurant

Beef Fajitas with colorful bell peppers in cast iron pan

This place is so good they have two locations and a third on the way. You cannot go wrong with anything on the menu and their salsa is really tasty. Loca Luna currently has two locations, 4400 Moores Lane and 5200 West 7th Street.
