Caer el veinte means to suddenly realize something after the fact. Equivalent to "the penny dropped." Phone booths in Mexico used to take only twenty-cent coins (veintes) for a long time.
Example: Hasta ahorita me cayó el veinte de que mi ex me hizo de chivo los tamales. (I just realized that my ex was cheating on me).
