In Spain, 'quedar' is often synonymous with 'ir de cañas' (going for small beers). It's a very casual, low-pressure way of socializing. While 'quedar' is understood, 'juntarse' is much more common. '¿Nos juntamos?' is the standard invite for a mate or a barbecue. Mexicans often use 'ver' (to see). '¿Nos vemos?' is a very common way to suggest a meeting.
