Eating in Mexico is a journey with seven stops
In many countries, the day is divided into breakfast, lunch, and dinner. But in Mexico, the clock is set by seven unique mealtimes. Each moment has its own flavor, story, and people.
At Homlunch, we invite you to experience this rhythm just like Mexican families do: at someone’s home, around a table full of flavor and tradition.
The 7 mealtimes in Mexico
-
Breakfast (7:00 – 9:00 a.m.)
Chilaquiles — green or red — with cream, cheese, and café de olla.
“There’s no better way to start the day than with a plate of chilaquiles.” — Chef Enrique Olvera. -
Mid-morning meal (10:00 – 12:00 p.m.)
Tamales, tacos de guisado, or regional snacks to fuel the day. -
La Comida (2:00 – 4:00 p.m.)
The most important meal: soup, rice, beans, guisados, and dessert.
Dishes like mole poblano, pozole, or enchiladas often take the spotlight. -
Merienda (5:00 – 6:00 p.m.)
A light snack: hot chocolate with sweet bread, fruit, or coffee with milk. -
Dinner (8:00 – 10:00 p.m.)
Either light — atole and bread — or rich, with guisados or a home-style mole. -
Late-night cravings (after 10:00 p.m.)
Street food takes over: tacos al pastor, tortas, or quesadillas. -
The “Recalentado” (the next day)
Leftovers turned into a feast.
“The recalentado tastes better because it’s packed with memories.” — Anthony Bourdain.
Why Homlunch makes it different
Homlunch isn’t delivery, and it isn’t fast food.
It’s about sitting at another person’s table and discovering their way of experiencing the day through food.
Every host opens their home so diners can taste authentic flavors — not from restaurants, but from kitchens full of history.
