- After Casa Bonita's $40 million renovation by South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone, Colorado's very own Disneyland of Mexican Food restaurant and home of cliff divers is officially back and its grand reopening is underway. And finally, regular people are getting in from the waitlist, and there's a lot to love about the new Casa Bonita.
Get on the Casa Bonita waitlist: www.casabonitadenver.com/
If you haven't got into Casa Bonita yet, I'll give you a walk thru and tour of the restaurant where I'll show the much improved food by Chef Dana Rodriguez, what it's like inside, and many of the highlights, including the waterfall, Cartman statue, and more.

Thanks for sharing this! I signed up for the lottery a year ago when they opened and am happy to say I got the email this week to make a reservation! This video gives a good overview of what to expect.
Enjoy! We had a great time! I’m so happy it helped. I did the best I could while managing our two kids there 😂
Less than a minute! Less than a minute!
I’m laughing at each smell reference.
😂 I took a deep breath in as soon as I entered the pretty house!
this dude is pouring so much more than he's draining...love this homie
big love homie, another great video
Thanks, Phil! Appreciate it!
Great video!! LOVEDDDDD this place as a kid. Like more than Disney
Thank you! I’m so happy my kids are gonna grow up with Casa Bonita as part of their lives!
I’m gonna have to go. Grew up in Colorado my whole life but never been lol.
You’ll get a much better version! 😀 Grab a spot on that waitlist!
Dude…. I just stumbled on your channel because of what you’re feeding your dog. I remember meeting you and your wife back in the days at spectrum.
😂 amazing!
he's for real@@davechung
Ahhhh Casa Bonitaaaa, awesoooome!
I was not excited for this video (the waitlist, gimmick or whatnot of Casa Bonita). But it was great and informative.
Thank you so much!
We are watching, fella. 🇨🇦
Thanks for watching, Mr. Teanuts!
I’m going there tmr
I’ve been on the waitlist for almost a year!!!
Hey David! Did you come into the Boulder Barber the other day?? I met you!
I didn’t! 😀 there are some doppelgängers of me out there! Definitely say hi if we’re ever in the same spot!
all restaurant in 2024 look like shit but casa bonita looks like gold❤
This was featured on my homepage but I don't understand why. I live in Australia and don't look up mexican food ever online. I suppose there's something pushing this out to the audience, the big sell is on. Interesting to hear how they have opted for the milder style of food. Like you said it sounds like they are aiming to please the kiddy masses. Sadly where I live good mexican food is very difficult to find.
That’s so funny! 😂 I hope life is good in Australia! Any chance you’re a South Park fan? That’s a big reason why people outside of Denver know of it.
It looks like this video was also in a Cracked article, so it’s being suggested to more people outside of Colorado.
@@davechung I'm not a SP fan, but I always considered SP to be edgy adult humor, so seeing this restaurant aimed at children has me confused
@@leokimvideo The restaurant hasn't changed. It was renovated and upgraded. As you can see in the videos with Trey Parker and Matt Stone. Nothing changed. So saying this is aiming at kids is painfully wrong because it was always a place for both children and adults. The reason so many come and visit is because they had promotion going on and simply because it's a South Park fan favourite location that happens to be real and accessible.
@leokimvideo the only reason it was in South Park to begin with is because it's somewhat of a local legend. I grew up in colorado and have been many times. It was really fun to watch SP later and see it was featured there too. SP has a lot of colorado culture in it actually. It's a very different experience to watch SP as a colorado native.
But the restaurant has always been a place for families, it just so happens to now be owned by the creators of SP
so, why the lottery system to get in? Is it just to keep the demand up and prices high rather than being open normal full time hours like any other restaurant?
It’s a great question! My guess is it started as a staffing/normal soft opening thing, but then they didn’t want people having a poor experience standing outside with a 2-3 hour wait or seeing OpenTable booked out for a year+.
I've been on the wait list longer than you and still haven't gotten a invite.
Be happy that you are on the list. I can't visit the place because I don't live in the States (Germany) and I'm a die-hard South Park fan since the early 2000s. 😢
_Si, me riding me tiny bicicletta to Casa Bonita._
having to make a reservation for mx food lol rainforest cafe has no res, lol 3 yr old got a burger
ha, I also think Super Mega Bien has pretty lame flavors and is aiming for alot of table flips over a relaxing experience. I guess she was the perfect choice for neo CB.
It kind of makes sense in a weird way 😀 I wanted all the flavors to be bumped up about 25%, just like SMB.
its manbearpig not a gorilla 😆
😂
Bros like cousin Kyle
Thanks for tour, may I make a suggestion? I feel like I saw some quick shots of the restaurant, but 50% of video was of your face, nothing wrong with your face, just not what I tuned in for.
I appreciate the suggestion! For the point in life I’m in, I record for these videos when I’m out with our 3-year-old and 1-year-old, so I do the best I can while staying reasonably present with them so that they won’t feel like I’m “working.” I’m usually filming while holding one of them, so it’s not a typical RUclips setup.
It’s a tricky balance, but I’ll keep working on the face to action ratio. It’s always on my mind as I’m editing!
I'll have to put my friend in a Bunker and convince him society has been destroyed just so I can go !
😂 many people would never believe Casa Bonita could actually ever change!
Its a cafeteria with entertainment, where they make fools of the customers all caught up in the waiting to get in there. Ive never seen a good review of the food, so essentially, you're going to the circus and eating food that no decent restaurant would serve. Oh well.
Well it couldn't get any worse.
😂 I think many felt the same way.
A bit late, this re-opened May 2023, i went there in July. Also several other RUclipsrs have already extensively covered the new Matt and Trey owned operation.
What is the point of your comment? Clearly you don’t get to choose when they invite you in and are you saying he shouldn’t make the video because someone else already did? It was so unhelpful and unnecessary.
@@nikolsweeney8129 my point is he is saying it’s BACK when it’s been back for over a year. That’s all. Calm down Karen.
The food is still garbage
It's disgusting... it's cafeteria food. If you like panchos you'll like it. The service was lacking, it took forever to get a waiter to see to us, the food took forever to arrive and once it did it was cold. I went three years ago maybe it has improved
Three years ago was a completely different experience. This was after a $40 million dollar renovation, and it just reopened in 2023 😀
"I went three years ago" NOT RELEVANT! The whole operation has gone through massive changes. Most famously new owners.
@@Neojhun WRONG! "Not relevant" would be if it changed its name, moved to a new location or started serving food like a restaurant instead of a cafeteria. Is the food prepared for you after you order from a table? Do you know the difference between a restaurant and a cafeteria?
@@davechung wow 40 million.. did they purchase a better gorilla costume?
@@clinch2clench They did get a better suit. If you sit cliffside, you can order from your server. It's vastly improved from 3 years ago (which was the point of the video, haha).
I’m sorry but judging by the price for “tickets” the owners have lost their mind and should have, sadly left Casa Bonita dead. They did not make a good choice and are now trying to desperately make up for their huge loss. This is simply one persons humble opinion. Your thoughts make no difference to me and trying to argue will not get you anywhere. We are all entitled to our opinions.
Its not a waiting list. Its a lottery. Winners are randomly chosen from their casa bonita email club list. If your lucky your given the opportunity 2 go. I know people on the list for over 1 yr & i know people that were on the list only 2 weeks.
That's disgusting
