There is nothing cheap in Palo Alto except fast food.

Kirk's or Gott's Roadside for burgers etc., both in Town and Country (Gott's has Impossible Burger for vegetarians).
Zareen's on California Ave is good Indian with vegetarian offerings (their vegetarian Samosa burger is my daughter's favorite food).
We like Peking Duck on California Ave for Chinese.
If warm and sunny, the new Zott's is great but not cheap.
Palo Alto Sol is great Mexican but not cheap.
Izzy's Bagels on California Ave is inexpensive and excellent.
