It's incredible how Matt and Trey voiced different parts of audio inside the restaurant. Such a great touch.
For two guys who presented themselves as irreverent stoners and outsiders for years...they work their asses off and leave no stone unturned when it comes to their passion projects
It’s really cool and respectable that they didn’t just turn it into a South Park attraction. They kept it true to the original and upgraded certain points to improve it.
They are the best dudes and love there state. I am proud to live here and in the same town as Matt and Trey(Littleton,Co ) Colorado is and always has been fun and quirky.
The only photo op is where Cartman has Casa Bonita food in front of him on the table.
THANK YOU, TREY PARKER AND MATT STONE
If I had seen the episode of South Park with Casa Bonita, I would have assumed I am seeing a parody of Casa Lupita.
The sign that says Beware of Manbearpig, is a direct reference to the character Manbearpig from South Park, who has had multiple episodes about him.
Manbearpig says we need to get rid of Soy Sauce and Red Dead Redemption 2
I'm cereal!
I'm super cereal!
Hey guys, Al Gore's cereal okay.
He’s half man half bear and half pig
I see why this place needed to be saved. It's so epic.
Hi Jacob! Thank you SOOOO MUCH for your blog on Casa Bonita. I was one of the First workers hired in the 70's when it opened up. I cried at the memories! It was wonderful! I must try to get back to Colorado to visit. Thank you! 🎉❤
Awesome
This place is like Rainforest Cafe but way more grand.
O.g I love the rainforest Cafe in Tempe,Az
@@nadiaborzacchini1987 If you are ever in Texas, go to the one in Galveston. It has a dark boat ride in it.
I think the food at Casa Bonita is mediocre, but the atmosphere and cliff diving is so cool. People definitely go for the attraction.
The theme is MEX.
This place has got to be THE ultimate Carpetbagger eatery
"CASA BONITA! CASA BONITA! FOOD AND FUN FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY!" cartmans last words
A big W to Trey and Matt for saving the place. Watching the Casa Bonita episode, you can see how much they loved the place. Glad they put the popularity of South Park to actually saving the place.
They ditched the buffet though which stinks.
@functionatthejunction I haven't seen any buffets where I am, guess it's just out of style.
@@SandraRescue A lot of buffets closed during the pandemic for health reasons. A lot have closed due to the economy as well I reckon. Buffets tend to heavily favor the consumer, especially big eaters or if you know what foods to focus on.
We lost all our buffets around here too. I miss them.
@functionatthejunction yeah. Not much can be done about it. A buffet with the new generations wouldn't last either. Too many would try to get some 'lick the buffet food' type BS to circle on TikTok.
I’m from Tulsa , Oklahoma and we used to have a Casa Bonita in town! It was a fever dream to say the least
My son loved Casa Bonita in Tulsa Oklahoma. I used to take him there all the time. When he got old enough for a job. He went to work there.
I'm with the crowd that had no idea that Casa Bonita was real until I saw one of your videos showcasing it! Funny part is later my girlfriend told me she had gone there as a kid. Mind was blown.
Nice to have new owners of something that actually care for the integrity, history, and essence of something they purchased.
When was a kid we would go to Lakeside Amusement Park. Then after a day of fun we would then go here for dinner. Thank you for the memories.
Don’t worry about the tarot reader, we put our faith in Zolar!!!
I'm thinking Trey and Matt themed it somewhat in a way reminiscent of their youth in the 70s. This was so fun, and I'm thankful that you took us there.
Growing up in the Denver area, Casa Bonita was LEGENDARY amongst kids for the fun atmosphere but reviled by parents for the lackluster food. I only vaguely remember going once when I was really little, because my family couldn't really afford to eat out very often, and certainly not at a place that was just fun and not also delicious. I'm so glad I got to see the inside of the updated version through your eyes since I no longer live in Colorado and may never get the chance to go myself!
So, ... The kids near Denver did not need Chuck E. Cheese.
@@295g295 Well, there's only one Casa Bonita and there were LOTS of Chuck E Cheeses around, but my family never went there, either lol.
That is the problem. Your only getting great Mexican food in either California or Texas, anywhere outside of that is LMFAO at best. Everywhere else seems to have what they "think" Mexican food is, I've been to places in Georgia that literally charged you extra to get rice and beans and it was still extremely mediocre at best
@@lutherheggs451 Denver has plenty of excellent Mexican restaurants... Casa Bonita just wasn't one of them when I was a kid. I once had incredibly bland "Mexican" food in a small Central Illinois town that apparently catered to the white locals who thought onions were borderline too spicy, so I know the difference between real and fake Mexican food, lol.
I remember going to Casa Bonita as a kid in the 70's and 80's. Seeing it start to decline in the late 90's. I'm so glad they saved it, hopefully get to visit again soon. Thanks for the walk through :) ...( I remember the gunslinger show being the Sheriff chasing Black Bart it usually ended with a shoot out and someone falling in the water.)
People passed away in shootouts. It is why the company scrapped it. NO SUDDEN DEATHS. JUST FAMILY FUN.
Casa Bonita is bonkers, absolutely insane. I'm deeply disappointed that I didn't make it there when I was in Denver in 2015. A respectful tip of the hat to Matt and Trey for saving the place. And don't worry about that reading. You can't get a full reading with one tarot card.
Totally on my bucket list! Going next year
I knew it was going to be Casa Bonita! Welcome to Lakewood!
What an incredible place 😮...thanks so much for inviting us to lunch 😀
This is so cool. Thank you for filming your visit to Casa Bonita.
This is up there as probably your best video I’ve seen to date.
The food looks good, especially the sopapillas! What an entertaining restaurant.
Moved to Colorado 20 years ago and I still haven't been to Casa Bonita. Thanks for the tour!
well kid, you made an entire town panic, you lost all your friends, and now youre going to juvenile hall for a week! was it worth it?
Totally
Totally
Totally
"Totally...."
"Totally worth it"
While I enjoy all your adventures, I think this trip was truly special. I think this was one of the best places you've shown so far. I believe you covered everything there was to see ( that you could show ). Thank you for taking us with you !
I was so excited for this video and Casa Bonita did not disappoint!!!! What an absolute amazing restaurant. I kept saying that it reminded me of Disney theming. Trey and Matt definitely showed this place some love. What a fun place to visit, I’ll probably never get to CO, so watching your video was an absolute treat ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I didn’t even know this place existed! This looks like such a FUN place to visit! Gonna have to make a reservation when I visit my Sister in Law out in CO. 😊
Awesome video!! I used to go there all the time on school trips. I'm so glad it's back to it's former glory!! Brought back a whole lot of wonderful memories!!❤❤
I watched the documentary at a local Indy theater tonight, I got a reservation a couple of months ago, and I ran around the restaurant as a kid on summer camp field trips as a kid in the 80s. I cannot even explain how it feels to have a moment from my childhood so fully manifested for everyone to experience. Magical!!
I've been twice since they reopened! In fact I was there last week! Happy you finally got in and had fun!
This warms my heart. Thank you to the creators of South Park.
They've done an excellent job bringing this place back to life, first time seeing it all finished. Bravo 👏
😊 call Jacob you make casa Bonita look fun again haven't been in over 25 years but now that they're opening up to reservations as of the 16th of September I will take my 5-year-old granddaughter because I think she would enjoy it as my daughter did at that age🎉🎉🎉 THANK YOU Jacob 💝
I remember going there back in 1993 and we ordered our food from the table so it’s different from when I was there!
I went in January and had the best time. I was called on stage for the Sorsoro magic show! Honestly, I didn't love the food, but I love this place. I hope the prices come down a bit so more people/families can enjoy it. This is truly a "fun for all ages" place, and those are hard to come by.
It's like a whoopty doo Pancho's Mexican Buffet we have hear in Texas. Not very many of them around anymore btw.
Greatest restaurant in the world, they could feed me taco bell idc seeing the inside just makes me happy
TACO FLAVORED KISSSSIEEEEEES 😂 omg that is amazing Jakob!
@thecarpetbagger the tower just means that lightning is striking the chaos from your life and the bad is going to crumble. Some tarot readers don’t take all into accommodations and just see the bad side of it and not the full picture. Cheers to a good year!
I like tacos and burritos
Matt & Trey are awesome for saving this place. Seems to be thriving and the food looks great. I would've probably went with the Carnitas
Trey Parker and Matt Stone did all the loudspeaker announcements and voices of Pappy, the skeletons etc as well. that's awesome of them!
So cool. Thanks for sharing the experience.
Casa Bonita is much nicer than I was there many years ago. Nice!
You'd be surprised how many people still think Casa Bonita isn't a real place. I had my chance to go earlier this year and it is better than it ever was before. It's amazing the transformation that the place has gone through, especially as someone who knows what the place was like before.
It was a great notion that the gun fighting show is "cancelled" due to sudden deaths. People at Casa Bonita passed away before the saloon.
Man that place looks amazing. I'd love to visit someday. And don't pay attention to that tarot reading... maybe it just means you'll be visiting the Disney Tower of Terror next year.
Fun fact: West Colfax Ave is supposedly the longest city street in the world, according to my fact-loving uncle who lives in Lakewood (not far from Casa Bonita, actually).
There's a very long road in north Korea as well.
That TV watching cat is mesmerized be that gopher on the TV.
There used to be one of these in Tulsa Oklahoma we used to love to drive there however it's been gone for quite a few years now I sure miss it
Family and I are in Denver (visiting from the East Coast) this weekend and were really hoping to get a reservation invite but was not lucky enough. Your first casa bonita video was what hooked me onto your channel.
It's evidently a much loved establishment and for good reason. SO fun!
What a fun place, glad they bought it. Too many restaurants have turned into dull generic boxes. Casa Bonita has remained a unique entertainment restaurant.
We used to go to Casa Bonita in Tulsa and Little Rock. I will definitely have to go to Colorado! Thanks for the fun video!
So Jelly 😮 I love themed restaurants and this one looks amazing
If you're still in the Denver area, Slones Lake Alamo is playing Casa Bonita mi Amore, a documentary about rebuilding it.
Moco and his adoptive mother made me laugh so hard. I really needed that laughter. 😂
I went to Casa Bonita in Tulsa about 30 years ago. the entertainment was no longer happening and the feed was terrible, but i loved being there any way!
Went there as a kid to Tulsa and Little Rock and finally the last time in Denver as a teen and loved it. Can't wait to go back
We used to have a restaurant called The Mayan in Utah. It was similar to this but a rainforest theme. There were divers, food, atmosphere. This makes me miss that place. Had a lot of nostalgia for me.
I really enjoyed seeing this restaurant. What a gem!
ManBearPig is a running joke in South Park. That was the pig guy.
What a treat, so glad you got in.
i smiled all the way through this video. I live in oklahoma and probably went to Casa Bonita in Tulsa a hundred times! was so sad when they closed 😢
Too bad no one documented their journey as they grew. Would be interesting to see the other three locations.
I lived in Colorado all my life and I still live here I only been there 2 times maybe but I heard it's gotten more strict now thanks for showing this I was curious what it looks like now since I heard it's hard to get reservations now a days
Glad you made it to Colorado again. We love having you here. Casa Bonita is the Disneyland of restaurants.
I never got to go to Casa Bonita as a kid, but did go twice later, once in highschool for a friend of a friend's birthday (the room you ate in is actually where this party took place), and then about a decade ago as an adult when I visited friends in Denver. By that time it was already past its prime and showing its age (compared to when I went as a teen). Nice to see its been renovated, hopefully it'll be good to go for another couple decades at least.
Thank you for saying Lakewood and not Denver 😁
Looks so much better than our visit a few years back. I still had a fun time and enjoyed the food but it definitely needed a lot of TLC. Can’t wait to return
Wow...Casa Bonita was WAY BIGGER than I first thought. Had no idea there was so much more to do there than just eat and watch performers.
I remember that the creators of South Park wanted to buy the restaurant based on the episode 😊
That was fantastic!🎉 Thanks for all the joy and adventures!❤
Fortunate to have been raised in Tulsa where there was a casa Bonita as well. Everything but the black parts cave.
Imagine if they made a fifth location? Probably even bigger!
What a fun place! Looks like they are taking good care of it. Thanks for sharing. 😀
In my neck of the woods. Used to go there when I was a kid.
What a unusual place to eat. Thanks for taking me here. It’s fascinating. Thanks Jacob Xx Bev GB 🇬🇧
Wish This Restaurant Casa Bonita Was All Over The Country😊Such A Great Place❤Thanks For Sharing Jacob😊Greetings From NC❤
My husband was there in the mid 90s he told me all about it and showed me his pictures of it and in the early 2000s I seen it on a travel channel show highlighting their mole sauce it was one of the best I'd love to visit sometime .
awesome
Glad you finally got your go, I know you have been waiting a long time. I remember the video of you checking in on it. 😊
omg if i had known you were visiting i live close by and would have come said hi lol love the place and have gone to casa bonita since i was a kid and have taken my kids many times too
Haven’t been there since the late 1970’s but I’d love to go back.
Excellent video, Jacob. Looks like a very cool place to visit. Till the next one, take care, my friend, and as always, safe travels.
I'm glad you finally made it there. Of all the UA-camrs, I watch your the last one to return since they reopen. I really liked that private behind the scenes tour you took when the place was still closed. Place still looks pretty much like it did in the early 80s.
Yes! We used to eat there constantly in OKC. I miss it
Growing up in CO , this was such a magical place for us as kids. So glad they saved it ❤ ❤️❤️❤️
Oh wow such an improved and clean...so clean
I love places that go overboard with theming, and this place does that perfectly! I've always wanted to go here after finding out it was a real place after that South Park episode came out.
I have been there twice in my life and the last time was about 30 years ago. I think i remember the divers jumping from a higher elevation back then. Other then that I can see it hasn't changed at all!
I used to LOVE Casa Bonita when I was a kid! The food was awful, but the sopapillas were legendary.
I’m glad you finally got to go there. It holds a special place in every Coloradan’s heart!
Jacob that was so amazing, and as Cartman would say, I love Casa Bonito.
Yes!!! I called it :) Casa Bonita!!!!
Fantastic video, Jacob! I hope to go to Casa Bonita someday! It truly does look like THE BEST restaurant in the world! 😍✨️
Wow they really made Casa Bonita really cool. Ive lived in Colorado my whole life and grew up mostly in that side of town and spent a lot of time going to other stores in that shopping center, but Casa Bonita has been pretty run down for most of the last 20 or so years. After seeing this ill definitely make a trip over there
Jacob, this is more than a restaurant. It’s an experience and thank you so much for sharing that I didn’t even know this kind of restaurant existed that would be somewhere to go and have a really good time. Thank you so much take care and be safe. Tell Jen we say hi.🫶🏻❤️🤠
Hey Jacob -did you see that the new McDonalds adult Happy Meal has a Crocs keychain as its prize? There are 10 different ones so you better get busy collecting! The company that makes Crocs must be jumping for joy!
🎶Casa Bonita, Casa Bonita, food and fun in a festive atmosphere 🎶
Take a shot every time Jacob says Casa Bonita, make sure you're not driving.😂
