I visited ~6 years ago. I had very low expectations of the food going in and was fine with that - visiting was about the experience not the food. However, the food we received was literally inedible. I was expecting something on par with Taco Bell or other regional fast food taco chain... Cheap and low quality. Would have been completely happy with that given the unique atmosphere and entertainment. What we got was purple and foul tasting ground beef tacos, stale taco shells, brown tomatoes, and burnt rice and beans. No one in our party could mustee more than a bite or two. Pretty awful for ~$25/plate... But we still had an enjoyable time overall reliving the South Park episode and enjoying the interior.

I'd totally be down for giving it another shot in the future.

I've lived in Denver for almost three decades and I've never been there. I probably should go, but I don't like bad food and everyone - EVERYONE - says it's bad.

Trivia note: a past tenant of mine was a former cliff diver there.

LOL ... yes, it is.

I was there once. This mariachi band kept crowding our table. Apparently, they decided to serenade the beautiful and witty Mrs. FAX until I told one of the dudes to get his freaking Vihuela out of my face.

Donk ville rejoiced after the Cheatriot ****bag/LA Rams Super Bowl?

I’m confused. :D

Complimentary fish sticks at every table.

Looks kind of gimmicky to me. To many good places to eat in Denver that don't remind me of a frat party.

Go for a grilled cheese next time. Even my wife can't mess those up.

Too bad anyway.

Not an option. The place is basically a cafeteria that has like 3 options for pre-made entrees. It is entirely built around getting people through the line.

It also seats like 1000.

Loved Casa Bonita as a kid. Pretty sure they had one in Tulsa. More recently, I hit the one in Denver.

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

Redbled 08-13-2021 08:15 PM

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.
