/Sounds like "TAH" (as in "tar") + "choh" (as in "chose")/

Meaning

A taxi in Uruguay, the reliable way to get around when the bus isn't coming or time is short. In Argentina, 'tacho' sometimes means trash can, but in Uruguay it's unambiguously a cab. You always want a tacho when it's late and you're done waiting.

Examples

Call a taxi, it's already late.

Should we take a cab or wait for the bus?
