In Better Call Saul, which character is known by the nickname Lalo?

The character known as Lalo in Better Call Saul is Eduardo Salamanca. He is a member of the Salamanca family and the nephew of Hector Salamanca, making him part of the cartel’s powerful criminal network.

Lalo arrives in Albuquerque to help manage the Salamanca organization after Hector’s stroke. Unlike the more openly volatile Tuco, Lalo often appears charming, observant, and controlled, which makes his threat particularly difficult for other characters to assess.

The nickname “Lalo” is attached to Eduardo, not to the Salamanca twins Marco and Leonel. Those cousins are commonly called the Cousins and are separate characters with different roles in the family hierarchy.

Tony Dalton portrays Lalo. His conflict with Gus Fring becomes one of the show’s major late-series plots, involving surveillance, assassination attempts, and the hidden superlab project.
