Spanish for the day

Went to a Mexican restaurant today for lunch. Its called 'Abuelos', spanish for Grandparents. The menu has black/grey pictures with just one entity in color. That option leaves a huge ground open for concentrating on any one theme in a general picture.

I was reading a magazine called "Latino perspectives". The words that took my fancy...
puerto -port
mujeres - women
teatro - theater
maquiladora - bonded assembly plant
stelae - An upright stone or slab with an inscribed or sculptured surface, used as a monument or as a commemorative tablet in the face of a building.
cuando - when
camarones-shrimp
barrio - neighborhood
lobos - wolves
burg - city or town
