Where exactly
All the taxis know the Zocalo!
Cruisiest spot: Along the Malecon, that is away from the Zocalo across the Costera on the beach/waterfront side. Much safer.
When to go
Early evening. Don't ever solicit boys, as in underage here, as the police are eager to entrap solicitors of underage and you will go to jail. There has been a huge cleanup in ACA in this department!
Etiquette
Forget underage boys entirely! But there are many slightly older types as in twenties and some fishermen, etc. who learned early how to make some bucks. Nearby are rock bottom hotels you can go to.
Nudity: Too public, with families and vendors, etc.
Safety
It can peter out early, like dead quiet by 10pm. I wouldn't take anyone home to my room but ask them if they know a cheap hotel or spot (assuming you speak Spanish.) No one speaks English here, it is very local. Hmmmm! The police shouldn't bother you if your quarry is not chicken types. If police stop you, you can usually bribe your way out. I haven't seen much police there actually. Beware of groups of boys as usual. Not really a AYOR area though. Just smile at what attracts you the most.
