No sé si exista en otros países; creo que solo es un regionalismo Mexicano de la parte norte del país. y se refiere a un "chamaco", "escuincle" "mocoso", niño.

Huerco is a Ladino-Spanish( language of Sephardic Jews) expression meaning young person, kid etc. In 1567 the Spanish king , Felipe II gave a concession to Luis de Carvajal de la Cueva(former Jew) to conquer and settle the Reino de Nuevo Leon from Tampico to Zacatecas North into present day Monterrey, Saltillo and Texas. Carvajal brought 100 families with him. Most of them were family members and Crypto-Jews. In 1492 Spain expelled the Jews and the Muslims from Spain, allowing them to stay on the condition that they become Catholics. Crypto- Jews continued to practice their religion in secret. Today, many of the descendants of those Crypto-Jews live in the states of Nuevo Leon and Tamaulipas. The flour tortilla and pan de semite(Semite) which are found in northern Mexico also come from those crypto Jews. Carvajal was arrested by the Spanish Inquisition in about 1580 and died in prison. His sister and her two daughters were arrested and burned at the stake by the Inquisition.

Sì son sinaloensees deberían decirles: " Plebes", que es un regionalismo propio de Sinaloa para decir joven o niño.

Pues no debes estar muy equivocado, aquí en mi trabajo en el DF hay varios sinaloenses y a todos les dicen huercos y parece no molestarles.
