The worst Mexican food ever – Upon our Saturday night visit to Casa Bonita, we were herded like cattle through a maze of twists and turns only to find that for $12.95 we got a cateteria style plate of subpar "Mexican" food. The enchiladas were smothered in some form fake processed cheese that even the 8 year olds turned down. Dinner for four with 2 kids was $75 including tip and tokens for the arcade. Half of the arcade games were not in service. The atmosphere was the highlight of the experience. The entertainment was parra... read more
Great sopapillas and cliff divers-that's about it! – I remember going to Casa Bonita years ago. I loved it. I have been about once a year the last few years but have decided "no more". I'm sorry if it's your kid's birthday but I'm not spending that much money again for what you get. We were there early, gathering for my 14 yr old niece's birthday get-together. The lines weren't long, which was good. But, alas, when we were at the section where the food comes out the little windows, we entertained ourselves by keeping the fli... read more
culinarily challenged individuals unite – We took our three young children here for the "warm -fuzzy" reasons mentioned in previous posts. The place HAS NOT changed a bit in over thirty years. I don't believe its been maintained or cleaned in that period of time either. As for the food, well, what I was able to choke down was revisited approximately two hours later. My husband and I got a kick out of the Ms. Pac-Man and Centipede games that must have been originals and still probably had our grimy little kid handprints on th... read more
good representation – everyone says how crappy and old it is... well duh. its suppose to resemble mexico. which is old and crappy and possibly decrepit. if the designers were going for that, then they did one hell of a job!
Where the government cheese flows like wine – I'm a native Denverite and I managed to go 32 years without visiting Casa Bonita. So when I went with my kids, I did not have the warm, fuzzy memories that my friends have of this pit. If you are a germaphobe like me, your skin will crawl the minute you walk in. You HAVE to buy the food and if you can get through the line without tossing your cookies, I would suggest not even touching it. The whole place smells like chlorine from the divers (I would worry about my child if they w... read more
How can anyone think this is good – What an awful place. The food is the worst Mexican food ever. I?ve had much better food from street vendors in Cabo. I can?t believe that anyone thinks this is a good place. The so called great atmosphere is terrible. The interior is cheap and old and the place is in a bad part of town.
Cool Place, Not so good food! – Haha Yeah, the food is not that good but it is a cool place to go. The sopapillas are good, and the fried ice cream is great. There is a little flag pole on all the tables where you raise the flag when you want more food, its all you can eat. If you go at the right time (4pm-4:30pm) the line isnt that long. Oh yeah, when youre in line after youve ordered and paid, pay attention!!!! lol the mexican ladies in the kitchen will yell at you if you are not moving fast enough. The plates are hot and ... read more
HAVING A HARD TIME RATING THIS AS ONE STAR, IT SHOULD BE A '0' – This is the asbsolute worst place I have ever been to in my life. I recently took my 2 sons to Casa Bonita since they'd been begging me to take them after seeing the South Park episode all about Casa Bonita and how GREAT it is. (lol) Let me first start by saying how LONG the freaking line was - you think it's not that bad but then after waiting 20 minutes and moving a little, you turn a corner and realize you have another 20 minutes, then another corner, then a... read more
This place had the worst food not just worst Mexican food, but worst food i can recall eating at a restaurant. I can see where the cliff divers are entertaining. Past that, it was not worth the $12.00 a plate paid. Mind you, it is all you can eat, but i didnt even want my first plate let a l one a second. I got a cheese enchilada plate which i swear was made out of a very cheap processed cheese. it was inedible. The place REQUIRES you to buy at least 2$ worth of food to even enter the building. (note a soda was a whopping 2.... read more
