The plaque reads:

"A Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg, Lawrence Ferlinghetti, Ken Kesey, Gregory Corso, Robert Creeley, Lucien Carrr y Joan Burroughs, escritores y poetas de la generacion beat, quines en su paso por Mazatlan, en los cincuenta y sesenta del siglo pasado, dejaron su impronta literaria por estas calles encendidas por el rayo verde.

which Google translates as:

"To Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg, Lawrence Ferlinghetti, Ken Kesey, Gregory Corso, Robert Creeley, Lucien Carrr and Joan Burroughs, writers and poets of the beat generation, who on their way through Mazatlan, in the fifties and sixties of last century, left his literary imprint these streets lit by the green beam.
