/Sounds like "HOH-choh"/
The Bolivian word for hot dog, the kind sold at street stalls. The word is a phonetic and affectionate adaptation of the English "hot dog" reduced to "jocho" with that classic Bolivian diminutive ending. In Cochabamba, jochos are practically a street-food religion: with fries, melted cheese, onion, and yellow sauce, ideally after 10 pm.
"Vamos a comer jochos en la calle Heroínas. → Let's go eat hot dogs on Heroínas street."
"Un jocho con todo, por favor. → One hot dog with everything, please."
