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

/Sounds like "rahs" (as in "rapper") + "KWAH" (as in "quack") + "cheh" (as in "check")/

Meaning

In Mexico, something cheap, low-quality, shoddy, or thrown together without care. Anything "rascuache" looks poor, neglected, and rushed.

Examples

The event was super low-budget, there weren't even enough chairs.

I don't want something cheap and tacky for my party, let's do it right.

Regional synonyms

To eat with a lot of appetite and not much table manners, basically to chow down or stuff your face. While "tragar" literally means "to swallow," in everyday slang across Latin America and Spain it means eating fast and enthusiastically because hunger is in charge.
