“He's very criollo, he always gets what he wants.”
“That street smarts will take you far in this country.”

A lo Macho
With courage and boldness, facing something head-on without hesitation or excuses. In Mexico, "a lo macho" means you're not backing down: you say what needs to be said and do what needs to be done, straight and without apology.
