Casa Bonita - A true Denver original and a South Park episode

I made this video for my sister-in-law's family of an end of vacation trip to a Denver famous restaurant. The visit to the restaurant was because on our road trip my sister-in-law's husband started playing episodes of South Park on his iPhone for his kids (we had driven thru the area of Colorado refered to as South Park). And the one that stuck was called, "Casa Bonita."

The last time I went to this restaurant I was 10 years old. Yeah, it's been in business that long... And you don't go to this place because of the food. Actually, the food is the last thing you want to eat. I much prefer Taco Bell food over CB food. Though the Sopapillas (Soap Pillars) are actually decent.

So having my camera with me in the restaurant, I shot a little video and blended it with some scenes from South Park. Forgive me Trey parker!

Neat how you added them together . Sad to hear those restaurants are popping up . They have some kind of Mexican restaurant every few blocks in w.tx . Getting to where you can't find a good Fish , Steak or BBQ restaurant except around Austin and Dallas .

Oh no, this place is no recent pop up. Its been serving horrible Tex-Mex food in that massive building for some 40 plus years now! That's why they made it an episode of South Park. We had to wait in line for about a half hour to get in. The funny thing about South Park is that there is a huge amount of Colorado based humor in that show that other folks around the country may or may not get!

"It's like the Disneyland of Mexican restaurants!"

Been there twice when my boys were young. Food wasn't too terrible and just a fun place to take out of town guests... Thanks for sharing. You got me thinking that I should take another trip there...

Casa Bonita, Casa Bonita the food is not too tough, Casa Bonita, Casa Bonita tomorrow in the bathroom will be rough.

HA! Nice!

Like Sys said, I guess it isn't that rough, I did eat while I was there. And we did raise our flag to say, "More sopapillas please," in that Eric Cartman voice.
