Description

You can't call yourself a Coloradan until you've visited Casa Bonita, an institution that was alternately amusing and horrifying visitors long before the concept of "eatertainment" became hot. For close to forty years, this has been a must-see stop for tourists and toddler birthday parties alike, a fake fiesta of cliff divers, pirate caves, live music, old-timey photos and all-you-want-to-eat servings of not-really Mexican food (the taco salad and sopapillas are your best bet). Ole!

    Where to eat, drink and keep your guests merry this holiday season

    By Gretchen Kurtz | Tue, December 18, 2012

    With out-of-town guests beginning to trickle in for the holidays, it's a relief to know you won't have to house, feed and entertain them all by yourself. Well, make that "yes" on house, but with resta... More »

    It's Labor Day weekend, and no faction of the local workforce is more worthy of salute than the hardworking (and generally underpaid) men and women who staff the area's eateries. But save your sympathy: Phill Corbin thinks he has the best... More »

  • 2008 | Best Place to Embarrass Yourself While Dressing Up

    With the cliff-diving and flame-throwing, the gorilla and the caves, the venerable Mexican restaurant Casa Bonita is all about the experience. So why not get a group of friends together to pose for a souvenir to remember it -- like an Old West photo? It sounds like a great idea...until you realize what you've signed up for. If you're a lady, the photographer hands you a skirt and a corset and sends you behind a curtain. With maybe two feet between the curtain and the wall and even less... More »

  • 2003 | Best Freak-Show, Acid-Trip, "I Certainly Didn't Come Here for the Food" Mexican

    Hunter Thompson once said of Circus Circus in Las Vegas, "This is what the whole hep world would be doing on a Saturday night if the Nazis had won the war." Well, that was then -- and today, Casa Bonita is the place to see what would really become of the world if the radical fun police ever had their way. Sure, we all know the food is, er, questionable. But that can be said of a lot of places where there aren't strolling mariachi bands and teenage cliff divers, so everyone just give Casa... More »

  • 2002 | Best Dive

    Casa Bonita may not immediately come to mind when you're searching for a dive. You're thinking a dark little hole-in-the-wall, not a giant original eatertainment complex filled with canned Mexican music and canned refried beans. But consider: Foodies certainly think they're slumming when they come here. And as at any more traditional dives, inadvertent entertainment abounds. Besides, at Casa Bonita you'll see actual dives -- executed off those fake cliffs by those built diving boys. For the... More »
