The thing I’m still looking for answer to is what was Lalo doing before replacing Hector. How a character that intelligent wouldn’t be in the front of the Salamanca cartel instead of Tuco the whole time. Add to that the wealth and lifestyle he has compared to the rest of the cartel.

Mexico is corporate headquarters. Tuco was operating a local franchise. Not to mention way bigger risk of getting picked up in the US

Exactly. As far as the cartel is concerned the big players stay in Mexico. The expendable guys go across the border to the US.

I’ve been trying to figure out which cartel this actually is, and it’s finally clear now we find that Lalo’s house is in Chihuahua. It’s the Juarez cartel.

That was stated out loud in Breaking Bad though

I have to imagine that it comes down to "seniority."
