/Sounds like "pee" (as in "pea") + "RAH" (as in "rapper") + "tah" (as in "tar")/

Meaning

Something fake, bootleg, or illegal that's sold as if it were the real deal. Pirated products are everywhere in Latin America, from DVDs to designer knockoffs to unlicensed software.

Examples

Those shoes are knockoffs, I can tell from a mile away.

I bought the pirated version because the original was too expensive.

A taco party or taco feast, an event where tacos are the main food served. In Mexico, a taquiza is the ultimate catering solution for everything from casual birthday parties to massive weddings. Someone sets up a taco station with a taquero grilling meat, and guests line up to build their own tacos with all the salsas and toppings. It is the Mexican equivalent of a BBQ cookout, except better because it is tacos.
