Mindz,
Now this is an interesting topic..I have found through my travels throughout Mexico, that the "traditional" meals, and times for them, have tended to change as to the needs of the people and their jobs...JAH, as always, has nailed the "local" aspects to a tee..
What we find now, is a mix of cultures for the most part. I am not sure where you got such a great variance of food for your comida, but wish I had found something like that in PDC. I have had many of these "lunches" in Mexico, but never found the variety you mention, while in PDC.
I am not sure where the info came from about comida at El Fogon, but we understood it to be an "evening" eating place, which in our mind, is hard to beat!!!
It is hard for most of us that are used to our 3 meal a day atmosphere, to deal with the "local" way of eaing, so, if you want to really experience the food as the locals have it...you have to get off the beaten path, and find the restaurants that the locals frequent...and at the times they eat...It certainly doesn't match our times, and any time spent in their atmosphere will show you why they eat when, and how they do...
The foods we ate in PDC were great, with some of the most "authentic" foods I have eaten in Mexico...As long as you are willing to look for them...They aren't on fifth!!! OK, the bus depot area not withstanding!!!
