Cheap, good meals when you're on the go....
This lunch dive is an economical spot for anyone looking for a cheap (a full plate of meat with rice and beans can cost $4) and hearty meal to take out or eat in. It is definitely not a place to expect nice decor or sunny service, but their food is authentic, flavorful and plentiful in portions. Go for lunch or an early dinner ? not much is offered after 7:00.

Lovably ramshackle Latin American greasy spoon that's a cheap-eats treat..
In Short
Despite the name, pizza is only a small part of the equation at Vecino's. The real attraction is rice and beans--startlingly inexpensive for a heaping plate of fluffy steamed white rice, earthy red beans and slow-rendered chicken, with a side of crisp-fried plantains. On Sunday afternoons, after neighborhood churches empty out, families start piling in, and the jukebox comes to life. Budget-minded Williamsburg hipsters round out the crowd.
