Casa bonita! Casa bonita! Food and fun in a festive atmosphere! – It's pretty much the best place, ever. All you can eat food, all you can eat sopapillias, and flippin' cliff divers, people! Cliff divers being chased by MONKEYS! And sheriffs! And pirates! There's like mariachis, and black bart's cave, and video games, and fortune tellers, and all sorts of awesomeness! Beg you parents, I know I do every day! Seriously though, kids love it, and the food ain't exactly the draw. It's truly an experience. A big, cadillac-pink exp... read more

Way off the Vegas strip meets Chucky Cheese or Carlos Queso's – This place is foul. Expect less than a theme restaurant experience, more a grade school talent show with prison quality food at no bid contract pricing. The Interior of the building is formed as a giant series of caves and grottos in some tropical locale, complete with plastic palm trees and extreme humidity, from the pool no doubt. Sadly that tropical air is also saturated with atomized fryer grease giving every surface a disgusting feel and every breath at lea... read more

Fun for the young and young at heart, but DO NOT EAT THE FOOD!!! – Growing up in Denver, Casa Bonita was always a fun place for birthday parties and special treats, but the food has been and will probably always be some of the WORST FOOD I have ever had. It is amusing still even as an adult to watch the underpaid, mildly bored cliff divers and entertainers, and I still have enough of the child in me to enjoy scaring people in Black Bart's Cave. My fiance and I were in the area yesterday and decided for the fun of it to go in... read more

Best time for Kids of all ages! – The first time we visited Casa Bonita was in 1976 and my then 8 and 6 year olds had a ball, as we all did. It was a truly unique experience for a family from the Midwest. Since that time I have eaten many Mexican meals and can say Mexican food is one of my favorites. But I still hanker for the Casa Bonita experience anyway! My daughter now lives in Colorado and we made a pilgrimage to CB for her daughter who is 3. I can honestly say we all enjoyed our experience as much 30 plus years later a... read more

too much fun!!! – This is absolutely my favorite stop in Denver! Our family plans our whole trip around the stop at Casa Bonita! Our kids love the food and entertainment! We spends hours there! It is such a family friendly place and very affordable! We have never had a bad experience here. The wait is only as long as you make it and the food is only as bad as you make it out to be. Trust me I have ate way worse mexican food than that! We love Casa Bonita and will continue to make it a point to stop there everytime we are in ... read more

Cliff Divers – You don't go to this place to Eat, you go to this place to bring out of town friends to show off. This is a one of a kind place, with the live shows, cliff divers, gorrillas. I can't stress enough on how you must at least visit this place once.

All about the show – You've got to love the cliff-divers, and I kinda like the little flags for the food-replinishment, but overall, this gig is for the kids all of the way. If you haven't seen the South Park episode, you should!

This Denver spot is more theme park than restaurant, and every kid deserves the trip. – In Short Strolling musicians, magicians, marauding gorllias and cliff divers surprise and delight assembled kiddies of all ages. After dinner, the whole family can wander through hidden caves, game rooms and an amusement arcade. The food is not the draw, although every person who comes in the door has to buy a meal. Menu items range from a nacho salad to the all-you-can-eat beef or chicken dinner. Or kick back with a margarita and ponder ... read more

Food is not so great-but go for the cliff divers – I went back to this restaurant because I had fond memories of it from my childhood. It was just the same and did not disappoint, but might be more fun with a child. Food is not so great, but endless sopapillas are so yummy! The entertainment is fun and wandering around is encouraged.
