This is also part of Mexican culture, sort of. In Mexico City, we would break for lunch around 13:00-14:00 and just take our sweet time, no pressure at all to go back into the office. The workday would end around 18:00-19:00. I think this has its pro and contra, you get a nice big break in the middle of the day, time to enjoy your meal, but also you end up staying in the office way too late. Commute times of one hour are not unusual in Mexico City either, so your whole day is basically gone on the job. Note that eating schedules may also be different from the Anglosphere. It took me a while to get used to a light meal around noon and a heavy meal around 17:00, which seems more common in the US and Canada. In Mexico the big meal of the day is around 14:00 and you might have a lighter meal, almost a snack, around 21:00 before bed. Going home for lunch to eat with your family is a bit of an old-fashioned custom in Mexico, but I hear some people still do it. None of my coworkers in the tech sector did, though. We were all mostly young too.
