Disclaimer – If you are unfamiliar with the Southpark episode where Cartman kidnaps Butters so he can take his spot at Kyle’s birthday party at Casa Bonita I highly recommend watching it before reading this post. If you are unfamiliar with Souhpark in general terms what are you doing reading our road trip blog?
Driving down the highway you first see the tower for Casa Bonita and it starts. A magical feeling inside of you begins to surface and by the time you pull into the strip mall (yes, this palace of childlike wonderment is located in a strip mall complete with a dollar store right next door) you are ready to burst. Quick factoids about Casa Bonita
- Mexican Cuisine, including all you can eat taco/enchilada combos
- Its dinner theater combined with Chucky Cheese esque attractions.
- The building is huge. Big enough to accommodate over 1100 guests
- The cliff divers are real and awesome
- Gift shop, old time photos, caricatures and a puppet show
- Black Bart’s hideout is scary, scary enough to make a grown man jump
- Eating a second helping of the taco/enchilada plate is not recommended. It is not good for you or good for the two other people who have to share confining spaces
- While dining your table has a little flag. Need something? Raise the flag and your waiter would be more than happy to bring the grande gringo mas tacos.
One final thing about Casa Bonita. It is unknown whether or not Mexicans came with the lease to the building or if they are hired for atmospheric purposes. I think some white guy in Denver knows you can get cheap, efficient work out of these people.

You had me at "all you can eat tacos/enchiladas"
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear you guys are having a good time and staying out of trouble so far. If they had little flags where I work, I'd be putting those flags some place where you wouldn't want them to be. Love to all, Aunt Dawn
