What does tener cara mean?

ExpressionColoquial

to have a nerve, to be brazen

To have a nerve: to be shameless about something. Qué cara más dura turns it up a notch. Between friends it's a joke; said seriously, it is a real accusation.

¡Qué cara tienes! Primero llegas tarde y encima quieres que te espere.

Late, and still expecting to be waited for.
