Create account/Sounds like "kah" (as in "car") + "SEH" (as in "set") + "tah" (as in "tar")/
A toll booth on a Mexican highway where you pay to keep driving on a faster, well-maintained road. The alternative is the "libre" (free road), which is cheaper but slower. Paying the caseta is the everyday calculation of whether your time is worth more than the fee.
“The toll is 150 pesos, have your money ready.”
“There's a huge line at the toll booth, we haven't moved in twenty minutes.”

Reales
Money, cash, bread, the informal Mexican term for cash that echoes the old colonial currency. Asking '¿tienes reales?' is like asking 'you got any bread?', casual, street-level, and understood by everyone.
