  • Lunch Break2:00 PM - 4:00 PM (Main meal of the day).
  • Pro TipThe 2 PM - 4 PM lunch window is strictly for eating and socializing; do not expect business availability then. Best call times are 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM or after 4:30 PM. Use formal titles (Licenciado, Ingeniero) until specifically invited to use first names.
