Casa Bonita

This place has permanently closed.

[Taggert Morrow, 08/04/2020]

The restaurant temporarily closed in March 2020 -- along with most other Colorado restaurants impacted by Covid-19 precautions -- but it has yet to reopen.

I will second all the posts that say that the food is horrible at Casa Bonita; be prepared to need to stop for dinner after eating there. However, I still recommend it because it is so unique and fun... especially for kids. Bring your camera.

No matter how hard the cooks toil at Casa Bonita, they're unlikely to win respect for the food in a place that has indoor cliff diving, gunfights, and a guy in a gorilla suit.

Casa Bonita

This place is on lock-down. You can't see anything cool unless every single person in your party orders a meal. I even asked if I could just take a peek and they said NO!

Casa Bonita

Not what we expected, very misleading. Not worth turning around for. We went inside and ate. The food was terrible. In a bad area.

Eatso Much. Peso Little.

Casa Bonita

A unique, crazy Mexican restaurant. As we waited in the hour-long line for all-you-can-eat food that was reasonably-priced (given the entertainment), we asked our family to imagine the most entertaining restaurant ever. And of course, they didn't begin to imagine cliff divers and everything else in there.
