Ok, I'll start.

First off, a typical Comida Corrida consists of
- a bowl of soup, usually a broth
- a main course, choose from a menu of typical Mexican dishes, such as Chile Relleno, Pollo con mole, Pollo pibil etc
- tortillas, beans and rice
- water or fruit water, as much as you want

Comida Corrida is usually about 25-30 pesos and it’s served between 1ish and 4ish pm. It’s excellent value for money and very tasty.

My absolute favorite on the Comida Corrida scene is La Casa de Piedra (The Stonehouse). It's way off La Ruta Turista, on Avenida 35 between Calle 30 and 32. The facade is made of stones, so you'll spot it. They have very tasty food estilo Muy Mexicano. They often have lentil soup for starters, which is almost enough in itself, and some great crispy Flautas de pollo.
