At home, guests can only sit at the table when they're invited by the hosts. Hands shouldn't be hidden under the table, hands (but not elbows!) should be put on the table. Guests begin to eat only after the host. It is considered rude to finish the dish to the last crumb. Bread is put on the edge of the plate or next to it. Leaving the table before others is considered disrespectful. In restaurants, tips should make up 10-15% of the bill. In bars - 10 pesos for a drink. The one inviting to a restaurant or bar usually pays, in other cases, everything depends on the rank.
