That would be raw cucumbers not pickled cucumbers, no?

Correct, but since "pepinillos" is not widely used, "pepinos" is understood by context to mean the pickled variety.

This is the case for Mexicans in the southwest USA. Things might be different for other regions/nationalities.

I’m from one of the northern states of Mexico and we say the original “pickles” pronounced as if it were Spanish. Or “pepinillos” never heard them called “pepinos”
