Provecho

Provecho, “enjoy your meal,” is said in Mexico to people who are eating, usually strangers. A 2026 article in Sopitas calls it “una manera sutil de desearle el bienestar a un desconocido” (a subtle way to wish a stranger well).

The same article records the opposite view. Some people feel the greeting interrupts the meal.
