Casa Bonita is touted by some to be the greatest “eatertainment” in Denver while serving Mexican food to the diners. It is definitely an experience! Be prepared to wait in line to order and then again to pick up your order cafeteria style. Tables are available next to a 30 foot waterfall with divers approximately every 15 minutes. They have stage shows, musicians, an arcade, a place to take old fashioned pics, etc. For a family with children it could be a fun place to go; for us it was another adventure to have a unique dining experience. I will say the food was ok, not great. The sopapillas were delicious with local honey.

Casa Bonita is the only real business that’s featured in Comedy Central’s “South Park.” Show producers called the restaurant to see if they could use Casa Bonita in future episodes -– mentioning to management that the restaurant is the only real business they’d used in the show. Casa Bonita was featured in the eleventh episode of the seventh season on Nov. 12, 2003.
