I should have known this was going to be a bad experience when I saw the cheesy decor circa 1970's that has never been updated. The food was sadly disappointing and appeared to be made well in advance of your order. The restaurant itself seems to be quite dilapidated and the food is extremely over priced and of quite poor... more

If you could put an entire Mexican dinner in a can, this is what it would taste like. But it's not inedible, and the sopapillas are still divine. Don't even let them talk you into fried ice cream though, that was terrible. Casa Bonita has not changed in all the years it's been there, except for a few tv sets... more

The food isn't bad, and the experience is unique. Go at least once, we'llbe back. more

Tucked away in an unobtrusive strip mall, it seems hard to imagine that there are cliff divers inside. You go through a cattle line, order, pick up, and carry your food to where the servers will show you to your table. The inside is reminiscent of Pirates of the Caribbean, Disneyland, a complete world inside a building. It's amazing inside,... more

I visited Casa Bonita while on a road trip with some friends. We solely went because of South Park's episode about Casa Bonita. The food was very mediocre, probably what you'd expect from all you can eat Mexican food. But the cliff divers and all the other attractions made for a fun, "more than just dinner" experience. If we weren't... more

I lived in Lakewood Co for 9 years and worked at Casa Bonita for 4 of those years..This was 30 years ago, even then the food wasn't the greatest, but it isn't about the food. The atmosphere, fun and whole experience is one you'll never forget. I would love to be able to go back and take my Daughter. more

If you have never been to Casa Bonita, It is truly is a stop that must be made when visiting Denver. Although the food has been equated to conveyor belt fare, this restaurant is not all bad. If your kids have never been to a theme restaurant this will be a big suprise. Where else could you go and have... more

Casa Bonita is the kind of place you only go to once... and only if you've already eaten dinner. The food is AWFUL! The Mexican food served at this place would make even Taco Bell seem like 5 star gourmet. Unfortunately, you have to buy dinner to get into Casa Bonita. The line can be anywhere from 10 minutes to... more

While at a conference in the Denver CO area, my colleages and I had the misfortune of coming upon one of those "welcome to denver" tourist magazines. One of the suggested restaurants/entertainment places was "Casa Bonita." I believe it was approx 8 miles outside of Downtown Denver. On the journey there we passed numerous check cashing joints and used car... more

Not recommended to anyone! Do not waste your time! We were overwhelmed by the smell of pine sol the minute we walked in - the enchiladas came out on the equivalent of a conveyer belt, lukewarm, and drenched with solidified and greasy "cheese". No entertainment to speak of. We arrived with hopes of watching mexican cliff divers and chi-chi, the... more
