Hey, te alcanzo
Hey, I'll catch up with you? So alcanzar - to reach, can mean "to catch up with" right? Is "te alcanzo" understood in South America, Mexico? Gracias

"Te alcanzo" sounds fine to me... if you are getting close to someone else in a race.
The typical idiomatic "I'll catch up with you" has probably different translations in different countries. In Spain, you have options like "Nos vemos luego", but this is likely to be different in other places.
I agree with Lazarus that I wouldn't use "te alcanzo" when you want to say that you'll catch up with someone in the sense of catching up on conversation or the like. However, let's say you are with someone who is in a hurry to get somewhere you are both going, but you still need to do something. You can tell that person "Adelántate y después te alcanzo" -- "Go on ahead and I'll catch up to you later."
