Old Town simply doesn't have very many really good restaurants, they tend to cater to tourists. Here is a list of my suggestions:

What cuisine are you looking for and does that $20 cover everything [food, drink, tax and tip] or just entree?
I've always liked Duran Central Pharmacy at 1815 Central Avenue NW for great inexpensive Mexican food, but haven't been there in several years.
Duran Central is still good, but it's a lunch place and I assumed OP was looking for dinner.
DebitNM is right. I remember eating someplace in Old Town but the food and service was not the best.
The restaurant choice is better farther east near the University and the hospital.
Actually a bit further east of the University, in Nob Hill area.
It is definitely worth your effort to check out the vibrant restaurant scene in the Nob Hill area: http://albuquerque.about.com/od/fooddrink/a/NobHill_Restaur.htm
We enjoyed our al fresco meal at Nob Hill Bar and Grill, but there are many other options.
