"Mexican Culture": How Do You Greet People in Mexico?

In Mexican culture, greetings are warm and cheerful. When interacting formally, address people by their title and profession. It is customary to invite people to eat when treating them. The phrase "¡Buen Provecho!" is said before meals and some table manners have been lost in some families. Punctuality is not considered important by some Mexicans. Religious themes and saints should be avoided, as should inappropriate topics of conversation. Clothing often incorporates imported products.
