Denver, Colorado Casa Bonita Restaurant


Sometimes, food alone cannot make a meal. Your overall enjoyment in a restaurant can be radically enhanced by the right atmosphere and setting. For example, many believe that fish and seafood taste better in view of water. It's not that the composition of the food is actually any different, but rather that when your brain is stimulated your reception to seafood is altered.

Wise restaurants can put a smile on your face or get you excited as soon as you walk in the door, and well before you take your first bite. As the percentage of independent restaurants in the United States grows smaller and corporate chains modeled after just a handful of concepts explode, offbeat and non-traditional concepts tend to stand out even more.

Casa Bonita is a sort of Mexican restaurant crossed with Disneyland, and is so well-known in Colorado that it was featured in an episode of South Park. The 52,000-square-foot restaurant that can seat more than a thousand is home to more than just all-you-can-eat beef enchiladas. Among the 22-karat gold leaf dome and pirate caverns are cowboy shootouts, escaping gorillas, cliff divers, and a mish mash of Mexican-related performances.
