I am a native speaker. "Rat" translates to "Rata", "Mouse" is "Ratón".

Is the criteria that the cities had to be named under Spanish/Mexican influence, or just that the names are in Spanish? If it's the latter you could switch Buena Vista, California to Buena Vista, Colorado... it's a significantly larger town, but it was founded and named well after the U.S. began to colonize the region so it might not fit the quiz
