Join Hablaaa and add the expression no one else has documented.

/Sounds like "TROH" (as in "troll") + "kah" (as in "car")/

Meaning

A pickup truck in Chicano Spanish, borrowed from English "truck." La troca is a source of neighborhood pride: used for work, moving furniture, and cruising on Sundays all washed and shiny.

Examples

Hop in the troca, we're going around the block.

My buddy rolls a lifted troca that has the whole street jealous.

Regional synonyms

A Mexican street food made of corn masa with pinched-up edges so nothing falls off, topped with beans, cream, lettuce, cheese, and salsa. It's the perfect base that holds any delicious combination.
