Some of the meals that are served in a cenaduria are found only at dinner time and are usually "antojitos" [snack]. Some of the typical antojitos of Barra de Navidad are pozole, tacos dorados, tostadas, sopes, beef tacos, head tacos and tripe tacos (tacos de cabeza y tripa). Places that sell hamburgers and hot dogs are also quite popular, but going to a cenaduria for Mexicans is considered a treat and you would not go every night.
Have you noticed that some meals are sold only at specific times in some places in Mexico? For example , it will be hard to find carnitas, tortas ahogadas and pollo asado (grilled chicken) at dinner time or even after 4:00 p.m. or before 10:00 am. These three meals are served specifically for lunch time.
On the other hand birria is eaten at breakfast and lunch time, but specific parts of the birria you would not find at lunch time. "Dorada" for example, is sold for breakfast, while menudo is served only in the morning, not for lunch.
