If you use "salir a + alguien" that means that someone appears to look like a relative? So I could say something like "El hijo de mi amiga sale a su primo menor" and it means that "my friend's son looks like his younger cousin"? ???

Correcto. Algunas veces no solo se refiere a lo físico pero también al caracter

@Lou Ann: Not really. The comparison is made in past tense and in relation to elder relatives. (Uncles, grandparents, parents...). The idea is someone has inherited traits of the family.
And as Hernán said, it's not only used about physical features, but also personality.

El hijo de mi amiga salió a su padre.
My friend's cousin son is like his father. (Either they look alike or behave in a similar way)

Mi nieto salió a mí en lo guapo.
My grandson is as handsome as me.

La sobrina de Juan salió a él en lo testarudo.
Juan's niece is as stubborn as him.

-- (A friend) Tu hija es muy bonita.
Your daughter is very pretty.
-- (The modest mother) ¡Claro, si salió a mí!
Of course! Just like me!

I take it you mean son, not cousin.

Very helpful examples by the way - thanks.

@Perikles: Corregido. Gracias.


@Hernán: Cierto... muy útil para saber de quién se heredan algunas cosas.
