/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.”

Mañoso
A tricky, scheming person who uses deception and hidden moves to get an advantage. In Ecuador, Colombia, and Peru, a mañoso never plays it straight: there is always something extra on the bill you did not order, or a clause in the deal you did not notice. The opposite of someone you can trust at face value.
