Hello,
I remember !Vamos al ajo ¡
But:
There is a more modern or simply different vernacular expression for "let's concentrate
on the core, let's go to the essential"
And I can't remember it, I tink it's another !Vamos al something ¡

Does that ring anyone's bell ?
Thanks

I've never heard 'vamos al ajo'. What I hear and say is 'Vamos al lío'

I've never heard 'vamos al ajo'. What I hear and say is 'Vamos al lío'

==================
But does "Vamos al lio" mean let's get to the point ? Same as "vamos al grano" ?

Sometimes yes, but it rather means let's get started with the thing we should be doing.
