Sorry to hijack the thread with something that may or may not be useful, but just yesterday, I was reading an article about business advice when dealing with Mexicans (don't ask why - I'm not a businessman and I'm actually Mexican, lol). It mentioned stuff like this:
- Mexico is a very high context culture. Which means "one in which connections have developed over years of interaction and a shared understanding of expectations."
- The way in which Mexicans communicate: "Communication is less formal, less explicit and decisions are built through long-term relationships and face-to-face interactions."
- Mexicans have a very relaxed sense of time and being 10 to 30 minutes late to a meeting might be seen as normal.
- "Many foreign business people often mistake Mexican warmth and kindness as an immediate willingness to move forward with a business deal,".
- "mañana" (tomorrow) might mean another day and the promise of a follow-up appointment might not be as certain as in a Western country."

And let me tell you something. I feel
attacked, lol. It's 100% spot on. So I think it might be interesting to add a bit of this... annoying Mexican ambiguity to your character? I feel like Mexican characters are often hotheaded and fearless of speaking out their mind.
