/Sounds like "tah" (as in "tar") + "lah" (as in "lava") + "CHEH" (as in "check") + "roh" (as in "row")/
In Mexico, an informal street mechanic who fixes tires and does basic car repairs out of a roadside stall. The talachero is a neighborhood fixture: fast, affordable, no appointment needed, and there when a dealership is not an option.
“Se me ponchó la llanta, busca un talachero por aquí cerca.”
“I got a flat tire, find a tire shop nearby.”
“El talachero me cobró cincuenta pesos por parchar y ya quedó.”
“The street mechanic charged me fifty pesos to patch it and it was done.”

Espabilar
To wake up, snap out of it, and start acting with speed and intelligence. Used in Spain. Telling someone to "espabila" means they are being slow, clueless, or complacent and they need to sharpen up immediately before the situation leaves them behind. It can be a warning, a push, or frustrated advice from someone who sees potential being wasted.
