Cuco is short for the nickname Cucaracha...meaning cockroach. Besides looking like one with his big bulgy eyes, Cuco is sneaky and sly like one. He is famous for cheating in cards. He cheats in bones too...so make sure you cover your dominos real good when he plays, and never let him keep score. Cuco even cheats in Monopoly, so make sure you know how much money is changing hands when he is banker. Other than these character flaws...Cuco is a pretty cool Homie. He does have a problem with lights though...he prefers to come out only at night. The Vato is also good for eating leftovers, like old pizza or fries or even stale chips and stuff.
