Casa Bonita
Included In
There’s a lot going on at Casa Bonita, a reopened Mexican restaurant that’s one of the most unique dining experiences you can have in Denver. Cliff divers throw themselves off real 30-foot waterfalls, a Man/Bear/Pig inexplicably wanders around the restaurant, and you order sopaipillas by raising a flag. You’ll have to struggle for a reservation through an email lottery, but it’s worth it to bring a bunch of friends and explore every nook and cranny of this gigantic place over a couple hours. While the food is infinitely better than it was before the renovation, do yourself a favor and stick to the menu’s best dish, the carnitas tacos. If you think this spot couldn’t get even weirder, just know that the creators of South Park are the owners, too.
