/Sounds like "AHL" (as in "art") + "TOH" (as in "toll") + "keh" (as in "kept")/
Right now, immediately, without a second of delay, Peru's way of saying something needs to happen this instant. Al toque is the urgency of Lima packed into two words: when someone says al toque, they mean it's happening now, not in five minutes.
“Come right now, it's urgent.”
“He called me and I went immediately.”

Immediately, right away, right now in Argentina and Peru. When something's done al toque, it's now, no delays, no excuses, and none of that 'I'll do it later' that never actually happens.
“I'm heading there al toque.”
“I need that al toque, it can't wait a single minute.”
