"Cuete" in Spanish. Is that Eye of Round?

[leanza]

I asked my Mexican friend who works with me to pick me up a brisket at a Mexican butcher shop around here. I traslated brisket into "falda" for him and showed him a picture and I explained to him that I wanted an minimum of a 10lb'r.

He comes back with something costing $3.00lb at about 3lbs. A cut called, "CUETE".

Any body heard of this cut and how would I Q it on my WSM? Or should I?

cuete can be an eye of round or a rump roast

Never heard that term used for meat. In the Tex-Mex translation it means pistol.

Pistola was what I learned as Spanish for pistol.

Let me rephrase, "cuete" is a slang term for pistol in the hispanic language. It is what I guess you would say the way the Cholos talk. I have heard it used for years. My correct Spanglish isn't great, but my Tex-Mex is right on the money.
