    Being a Culinary school graduate and someone who loved serving food and bartending in the front of the house for places like the Brown Palace, Palm Steakhouse, The Broker in different places, I decided to go downstairs at Casa Bonita the last time I was there to look at the kitchen and I clearly witnessed cooks transferring TV type so called Mexican dinners onto plates..
    I hope the guys from South Park put some real love into the food and service staff there because it's a true Denver landmark.

      I said years and years ago that I was certain they shoved those trays through the slots because they weren't cooking much of anything, other than heating frozen Mexican meals like you'd buy in the grocery store. I never saw it in action, but I was certain that's what was going on! I'm glad you verified it for me all these years later!!!

    They should just buy up the surrounding business and expand it. Will be a tourist trap for sure.

    In the summer of 1977 we were on our way to the Pikes Peak area (we were from Kansas City) and my father took us to Denver for the sole purpose of eating at Casa Bonita. He had been there during a work trip and wanted us to experience it. As we drove into the parking lot we saw the line out and around the entire building, my father didn't like to stand in lines so we turned around and ending up eating at a nice little family run Mexican restaurant near our hotel. A number of years later I was able to experience a Casa Bonita in Tulsa, OK although that restaurant didn't have the cliff diver. I look forward to the opening of this iconic restaurant and would make a trip to Denver to experience what my father had wanted us to see all those years ago.

    Sad to say but the last time I was at that shopping center was about 2 years ago and there were drug addicts and homeless people everywhere in that shopping center. Hopefully they can clean up the area and make it safe.

    I think they should just buy out the whole shopping center and make it a Mexican-style shopping center, like a Placita Olvera.

    I hope they change the menu. The tv dinner style of food they serve is horrible. Everything looks processed and generic.

      It's been in the news for a few years now, that they hired a chef to update the food.

    Re-open the Tulsa, OK Casa Bonita. It will take the pressure off of Lakewood.
