In Mexico, there is a type of restaurant called "cocina economica" which serves fast, simple, inexpensive meals for locals. I was wondering if this type of restaurants can be found in the DR.

By Dominican standards; yes they are. This means that they're as clean as the average local deli in the US.M.A.R. said:Geez, they're giving it away. Are these places clean?
Chirimoya said:Yes, all over the place - usually known as 'comedores populares' and sometimes 'fondas'. They serve the plato del d?a which is rice, beans, meat/chicken/fish and salad.
That is a price that is in excess of three hours pay to typical Dominican worker. (typical office or store employee, teacher, etc.)M.A.R. said:Geez, they're giving it away.
