Trey Parker and Matt Stone to buy Casa Bonita in Denver

[RaidersOftheCellar]

Been there a few times. Didn’t realize it was world famous or had been the subject of a South Park episode.

As a kid we went there every time we went skiing. We made up songs about it with our cousins. Used to tie the glow necklaces to the outside mirrors for overnight return trips to KC to make them last longer. I don’t care how the food tastes the place is iconic.

The sopapillas are great. It’s not the easiest place to get to if I recall correctly for tourists. I asked earlier but no answer. How is that neighborhood these days? I don’t recall it being unsafe or anything, just kind of older and a bit run down but I might be misremembering.

Eh, it's definitely an older, run down neighborhood. I don't necessarily think it's a high crime area, but there aren't a ton of reasons that one would normally find themselves in that area.

I almost never go to that part of town, but my impression is that it's not glitzy but not dangerous.

Speaking as a guy that grew up in the Cleveland area and who has lived in Denver for three decades, I’d say there are no dangerous neighborhoods in Denver. There are run down neighborhoods for sure, but none that I’d consider dangerous.

Colfax used to be pretty rough back in the day. Did they clean it up?

FYI Matt & Trey apparently have been going to Casa Bonita since they were kids. When they were considering the purchase their main goal, aside from closing the deal, was to vastly improve the food. A place like that doesn't have to serve airplane food...it is not that much work and cost to make really good Mexican food; it just takes some pride in the work you do.

Central and East Colfax aren't necessarily rough,but they're definitely inner city. West Colfax is just old.

Yeah, compared to other big cities, the worst neighborhoods in Denver are places that don't mow their lawn as often as they should.

Mmmmm... Snacky Cakes, Cheesy Poofs and Coo-Coo Chips now available at Casa Bonita!

Always loved the place as a kid, but the food was iffy all the way back to the seventies. It was edible back then, but it hasn't been for a while now at Denver. We went to the Tulsa location as a kid sometimes too, but I am not sure if it was better or worse. If they fix the gross food, I'll take the nieces and nephews and grandkids when we go to Colorado every couple of years. Nostalgia is powerful stuff.

Once. Twice is too much. See it once then laugh about it when it crosses your mind.

This ep and the Awesome-O robot friend are the 2 best eps that involve Butters and Cartman.

Super fun time is pretty great
