Two women cook with a boy during the Menudo dinner

In the kitchen, one Mexican American, Mary Lou Jaramillo, with smiling eyes, drinks a Coors beer, another Mexican American woman, DaLinda Galaviz, holds up a knife threateningly and makes a grim face, and a boy squats low enough to look at the camera from below her arm with the knife during the Menudo dinner at Herrera's Tenderloin Grill in Kansas City, Missouri.
