How do you find cheap, interesting, counter-service restaurants?

So I'm not traveling right now, but one of the things getting me through this era is planning future travel, and one thing that's eluding me is this question. It's easy to find recommendations for upscale and fancy restaurants, but that's not what I'm interested in; I want to find restaurants where you can get a sub-$12/€10 meal that's filling, unpretentious, and quick.

I have no idea how to find these restaurants, especially ones that aren't e.g. the international chains. Ideally I'd love to find each country/city's equivalent to things like Chicago's hot dog stands, or (as another Chicago specific example) each city's Ghareeb Nawaz or Taste of Lebanon, e.g. dirt cheap ethnic cuisine. Any suggestions on e.g. search terms, or databases would be appreciated!
