I think the translation for butacas that want is stalls in Mexico. but what kind does it mean; for animals or shops or both?
I know butaca means comfortable chair.

Thanks Hal

Butaca has several meanings, all related to seating.
--a certain kind of leather-topped stool to sit on
--a theater seat in a movie or other theater
--a seat in the orchestra section of a theater, known in Britain as a stall seat
--an armchair, although this is not generally Mexican usage.

A butaca is not a stall for animals, nor is it a shop.
