Inside the REAL Casa Bonita from South Park
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 9 мар 2015
- One of the most beloved episodes of South Park involves Cartman kidnapping his classmate Butters in order to nab his spot at a birthday party taking place at a Mexican restaurant called Casa Bonita. The restaurant in question has a haunted cave, mariachi bands, sopapillas, and cliff divers, you may think that it would only exist in a cartoon.
But don't be fooled: Casa Bonita is a real restaurant in Denver, Colorado, and all of the aspects of the restaurant included in that episode are real. (They actually left a lot of stuff out.) We enlisted the help of Mike Mason, the general manager who has worked there for nearly 40 years, to give us a tour of the 52,000-square-foot restaurant and fill us in on its long history. By the end of our visit, you'll understand why the place is known as "The Most Exciting Restaurant in the World."

The best description of this place I have ever heard was my brother telling me it was "like Disneyland and a Taco Bell had an illegitimate child then abandoned it in front of a strip mall on the outskirts of Denver".
@Velvet Doll It's a reference,I'm not sure if that's a "big boy word"but you should learn it
LMAOO in the literal hood
😂😂
OMG YESSSS
only if Taco Bell lowered their standards
The motto for Casa Bonita: "Was it worth it?", "Totally"
Too bad their food is terrible, lol.
Agreed lol!
No not at all was it worth it. Why do you all leg hump here who cares that t was in south park episode.
@itsRHINOTIME Taco Bell is 5-Stars compared to the slop their toss on a plate that is even forgoing the food poisoning we all got from it.
@@Meekerextreme Troll
The fact South Park creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker just bought the establishment and plan to update it makes this all much more amazing.
I hope they keep it tacky lol and upgrade the food from what I hear.
😂💯
For Real?!
@@Dragoon1809 Yes my furry friend. They are also planing to try and get licensed to sell weed under the Tegridy brand from the show.
@@russellny8086 They plan to Keep it much the way it is..
But the old food will be gone. They absolutely plan to refresh the menue substantially
Matt Stone and Trey Parker just bought this place, it's nice to see someone get super rich but never forget where they came from
Came from mexican food and cliff diving.
I hope they improve the quality of the food. That place is disgusting
Just clicked on this because I heard they bought it! Never knew it was an actual place.
Source they bought it? I know they want to but are having problems with the actual owners
Saved it from being a victim of deadly Covid!!💛💛
I couldn't believe this place was real. I totally understand Cartman's desire to go there. Totally.
I live in CO Springs and yet have never been...no desire really. If I drive up to Denver I rather eat at Fogo
The food is awful and it’s kinda just all around tacky..
@itsRHINOTIME LMAO I was thinking the exact same thing.
@@Meekerextreme you should go its fun.. the food is shit though
I sorta wanna go there but I’m a food fanatic. And every review says the foods trash
Next time on Munchies, we visit the "City Wok" in the Denver Airport
What about City Sushi?
They should make those restaurants. That would be hilarious, and potentially delicious.
@@caiusmadison2996 there actually is a city wok at Denver airport
Andrew O'Connor no there isn’t
I'd try the City Beef 🤗
13:10 The fact they have a Cartman plushy makes this even better.
Good eye I didn't even see that
As a non american, this feels like a fever dream of a restaurant.
Oh Casa Bonitas is totally real my friend, I've been there many a times on school field trips to Denver and her outskirts
It is honestly I went there when I was a kid, and honestly I couldn’t remember for a long time, wth my memory of this place was or where, i just remembered a girl jumping into the water.
It’s like the Rainforest Cafe on steroids.
Honestly that whole country doesnt feel real.
@@user-yf1to2fx9r It isn't
"Well kid you made an entire town panic, You Lost all your friends and now you're going to juvenile hall for a week...was it worth it?"
Totally
Yes.
Totally!
Totally
Totally
casa bonita should be a cod map
HAHAHA "stop camping at the Cartman table ffs!!"
Counter Strike: Casa Bonita
*Fire in the hole asshole* -Cartmans Voice
***** heck yeah!
Good idea
I love the fact that Matt Stone and Trey Parker have actually outright bought Casa Bonita after the restuarant filed for bankruptcy
Yeah i thought that the media attention would make it easier but its awesome they kept it alive
After seeing this, Cartman is 100% justified in locking Butters in a bunker 😂
Cartman should have gotten a lifetime ban from this restaurant for that and for having the police chase them in there.
@@cartooncentral263boy you must be fun at parties
Hahahahah bro this got me so good 😂😂😂
It’s all fun and games until you have to trick someone into staying in an underground bunker just so you can go.
worth it
@@battlebacon1442 totally
Yessiree butters can S M D
They should
@@felixkaspar527 Geez, what did Butters ever do to you?
Should have a statue of Cartman present, best commercial ever.
There's plushies of 3 of the 4 main cast from South Park (Kyle's been missing for a while)
There’s a statue of him atop the waterfall, you can see it at 13:11
If it wasn't for Cartman no one would even know that this place even existed
That’s true that would attract a lot of South Park fans
@@joshsmithson7955 it's so hidden
Denver native and it’s hard to express what this place means. We’ve all made fun of it, but we’ve never turned down an opportunity to enjoy cafeteria food with unlimited sopapillas. It’s pure nostalgia and I can’t wait for the reopening in May.
On the nose!
Not even from the states, but I know some Denver natives. They all love to give Casa Bonita a load of shit up when one of them says they're going, everyone else tags on and is all giddy about it.
I had lived near to the Casa Bonita for a good portion of my childhood and yet I've still never been inside it. I feel like one of those New Yorkers who had never visited the statue of liberty. My family wouldn't let me go because they went there before I was born and said they'd never go again because they thought the food was bad so I missed out. When I was a kid I was way more interested in that little magic shop that was right next to the Casa Bonita anyway.
I hope that store is still running. The guy who owned it was so nice, and would always take the time to show me some neat magic tricks. One time I bought some stuff when I was 8 or 9 and gave him money for it and he gave me change, and didn't realize til I got home that I had more money than when I went there, and he had somehow slipped me extra money without me noticing. Such a nice guy.
When did it close and why?
the food looks alright but the locations do look like a disney world ride rendering of mexican places during festivals thats cool, the many beautiful places
And now the creators of South Park actually own it. Amazing.
I wonder if they will do anything South Park Themed?
@@starcityrc3298 Definitely in the gift shops, I wonder if Comedy Central is backing them so they can sell South Park everything in the gift shops. They did an interview with the Colorado governor and they said they’re improving the food so that’s good ha.
@@starcityrc3298 yeah
4:05 They should put a picture of George Floyd down there
@@alainportant6412 That would be funny and scary at the same time.
13:10 they actually have a Cartman plush at the top of the rocks haha that's so cute
I didn’t notice that one. Thank you
They have all the main characters hidden throughout the building
@@c0pyimitati0n Nice
they should have a tape inside where sometimes it'll say "Dive asshole!" like Cartman said in the episode.
“Was it worth it?”
“Totally”
"the terrace area which is basically designed like terraces"
strong.
Strong goes with human for now
So clever...
lmao! I thought the same thing. I definitely lost some brain cells when I heard that.
that part cracked me up.
Hopefully, Trey and Matt will be able to buy this and revitalize it. It can be awesome. Totally.
Unfortunately, I don't think it's for sale. I would have loved if they bought it, though.
@@sadishradish4084 Anything is for sale for the right amount of money.
They just bought it. For real
They just bought it
do i have NEWS for YOU!
It’s official: Matt and Trey have actually purchased Casa Bonita.
"Do you want to be interviewed?" "uhh haha, no..."
next scene
"...my name is Alex Perez..."'
Lmao
Alex is so precious though
“Cartman table” god I need to get there in my lifetime, holy shit.
Sadly it’s basically gone Stock has gone down to six cents and employees checks have been bouncing
the line to go to that exact table must take hours
Angel Galeano It used to know longer though
While it is sad that the ownership has gone to shit during the virus I still have hope over some crazy and entrepreneurial spirit picking it up. I was working at a hotel that had new management ruin it till they filed for bankruptcy earlier this year but someone bought it up for renovations, I just hope someone else will see this place and want to keep it alive.
I went there, it was really cool, just like a carnival in a restaurant. I can't believe more places havnt tried this
The fact that this place is all you can eat. Just makes much more sense why Cartman wanted to go...
I love how completely unimpressed the manager looks when he is talking about the Cartman table.
"These are the terraces. They are modeled after terraces."
In Mexico terrace translates to terraza which is a little property where they have block parties or family gatherings.
Ah yes the floor here is made out of floor
Real terraces are outside
Designed by Phil Phillis.
Can we just talk about the man that runs this place that's been there for decades because he enjoyed it when he was a kid, now he gets a huge platform to proudly discuss it? What an absolute king.
The latest south park game added Casa Bonita as a DLC and I gotta say the attention to detail they used for this place was insane. From the Chiquita the gorilla boss fight to the identical wishing well. Matt and Trey must really like this place
Manager: ‘Alex you wanna be interviewed?’
Alex: ‘hahah no!’
*2 seconds later*
“My name is Alex and I work at Cass Bonita”
4:56 "It's quite a popular place for *GUNSHOT IN BACKGROUND* Kid's birthday parties."

@@lilfortnite863 not you it was token
What's even better is watching all the people at the table jump when that happens
Fnaf
@@plasma9839 what......
They have little dolls of the South Park characters hidden around the restaurant. I've only ever found Cartman and Kenny, but they say the others are there.
I saw Kyle and Cartman
They should have kenny by the cliff diving on a rock with his head split open
Just remembered its a family restaurant nvm
@@jameshibberd5134 so what? Many children cartoons had adult cartoons in their shows and viceversa.
@@jameshibberd5134 Or Kenny With a artificially Removed plush head, and the plush head beside him
I love how the owner completely ignores the camera man during parts of this video to watch the shows and divers. Cartman would be proud.
Many times during the video I got the strong sense that this guy is as close as you can get to Cartman in the flesh.
Real talk: this place filed for bankruptcy, and there are rumors Parker and Stone may buy it
This is why I'm here. The official South Park Facebook just posted Matt and Trey are officially attempting to buy Casa Bonita
That is good news. I hope to visit this place before I die.
It's official as of today, they're buying it!
I wonder if they will keep the manager that has been there since 1975?
It's amusing to see people watching this video because of today's news
“And this is the terrace area, based around terraces”
L O G I C
You're everywhere 😆
HAHAHHAHAA
Ah so military history and tactics are not our only common interest
So it’s a great place for… (bang!!! Someone shot during a gun fight) …birthday parties 🎉 😂
Seeing you again
“You want to be interviewed?”
Alex: “No.”
**Cut to Alex being interviewed**
They edited out the: "Bitch... You're getting interviewed or fired-- your choice.."
@@TaaxiCaab yeskjkj like when the boys gave an interview for a documentary and they edited their talks

Now that Matt and try bought it there's going to be a six month waiting list. A pilgrimage destination.
lol, just the news story alone is going to bring in a lot more business.
I'm going to buy it with my grandma's inheritance. And then I'm not going to let anyone in
As a German and a huge South Park fan, I would love to go to Casa Bonita. Before I die I'll get there somehow
Es gibt viele Direktflüge, die Denver CO mit Frankfurt und München verbinden.
@@CO84trucker Ja Verbindungen sind kein Thema. Ist leider zu teuer momentan
I hope this place survivers after the Corona virus.
Yeah I wonder how it's holding up
This place started the coronavirus! Dont be fooled by this commercial the food is sickening
@@paulking9374 you cant be serious...
@Corbin Atlas I'm talking about the bad food starting the coronavirus.
Corona Bonita
Was a server here, it was probably the most fun job I've ever worked. Great community, nice pay due to volume of tables, and just a fun place to be in general. I'll tell ya though, it does get hot going from the kitchen to the farthest table in the restaurant over and over and over. Sad that they are closed and might not reopen, it was a little piece of history. Also, Rob was a beast, still miss that guy.
We have a place in Latvia that's basically the same but built around traditional Latvian culture. Also a dimly lit, cozy environment, traditional folk outfits and music, all build within a large mansion with a windmill at one end, and surrounded by a yard full of various attractions and activities. It's called LIDO. Very wholesome place for the whole family.
Was happy to hear that Matt and Trey bought the place, apparently the food was horrible before and they plan on fixing that!!!
They are! :)
CARTMAN TABLE!!!!! LMAO
Where
2m25s. The camera man confirms it 10s after ;)
Under the dome
I need my dick sucked
2:34
This Mexican restaurant is the most American thing I've ever seen. I love it so much.
"MEXICAN"
Mexican-American
That is the result of our 2 cultures merged together and tbh I can't whine about it
@@iustus6940 yeah fusion food is some of the best food
Looks like taco bell food 🤢 looks cool to visit though
I grew up going here alot. I think it's crazy that the south park creators ended up saving it. After going to real authentic Mexican restaurants I realized the food there isn't Mexican at all and much closer to Taco Bell's "Mexican food". But it will still always hold a special place in my heart as a Colorado treasure.
I don’t remember if it was Trey or Matt.
But one asked, ‘can I jump off the cliff?’ They said ‘only if you own the place’.
He responded, hold me beer
They made that diving pool look so much bigger in south park
when you a kid the pov is different it seems bigger
I was much smaller when I went, but it seemed huge!
“Behind us we have the terrace area which is basically designed like terraces.”
love me some tautology
He’s not wrong
Yes, you can see that the floor here is basically a floor.
Lol I don't know why that part upset me
Just about what I expect from an American lol.
I went there with my brother while we were driving cross country in 1979. Our dad had suggested we stop there. We had a table in the Cliff Area, where we had a great view of the divers. I remember you just had to raise a flag at your table to signal you wanted more food. My brother who has always had a humongous appetite, raised the flag twice!
I just hope Trey and Matt will keep this place alive for many many years
I reminds me a little bit of a Rainforest Cafe, but I have a soft spot for establishments like this that manage to rely on a gimmick for over thirty years.
Wow, that's exactly what I thought of when I saw this place. I dunno, I guess there's just some gimmicks that will never die out, or at least not without a good fight. I honestly hope Rainforest Cafe never goes out of business, I absolutely love that place. Casa Bonita seems nice too, can't speak for the food, since I've never had the opportunity to go. My guess is that it varies per item, like any restaurant.
@@anaamari5643 I'd imagine their "all you can eat" meals are probably really bad, but I heard the sopapias are really good. Anything else they serve is probably a crap shoot.
We had a trip where we were going to rainforest cafe for lunch but everything changed when corona attacked
My thoughts exactly, I really miss that place in my city
@@UBvtuber crap shoot is what happens after you leave. Personal experience.
All of these employees seem like such genuinely nice people. I hope everything works out for them. They are all so proud of their work and they should be..they've brought happiness to so many! This hurts my heart.
Why does it hurt your heart lol
@@hununter they are closing down
To keep employees for that many years you know you did something right and have a successfully restraunt
The one guy looks like Tim Curry
Matt Stone and Trey Parker have bought Casa Bonita. They're going to improve the food and revamp. It is not going away!
7:05 I wonder if they'll hire this manager back. Dudes been there so long his ghost will haunt the building if they don't.
This place looks like it's from a dream, it looks so surreal
4:05 “The wishing well actually has a monster in the bottom of it”. Stares at a weird guy laughing. “So you wanna check that out...”
That wasn't a monster. That was Captain Planet!
@@TRD57 lol i was thinking the same thing XD lol
@@TRD57A brave Mariachi band trapped him since he lost his mind on the last day of 1999. Once he escapes, he will bring the end of the world. It is known.
It was the joker, baby
I swear it looks like him with face paint and a wig...I may be going crazy but it looks just like him to me!
What other restaurant has employees working for 20+ years?!
Also: “they give you a raise to learn to juggle fire”
I already know how to juggle fire. I wonder if I could get a raise for learning cliff diving, lol
aCrazyDrummer Unfortunately they closed apparently.
@@axries940 False. They do close periodically for cleaning and construction that might be what happened.
Imagine working there for 21 years and still being a server. Robbie hall and Mike Mason still hold there position at this establishment. They are giving employee's their checks with no money in the bank. The lack of transparency from the accounting department is appalling. Yeah go spend your money there if you want. Really disappointed in how the business is conducting itself. Transparency was needed in this situation to help ppl make better decisions in their lives
They got rid of the fire jugglers a few years ago for failing fire code.
Well, as you all know, Matt & Trey are seriously trying to by this place since it declared bankruptcy recently. Their first order of the day if they get it? To GREATLY improve the quality of the food. 🙂
ye it looks like they need to, the food looks pretty bad from this video.
You don't go to Casa Bonita for the food. You go for the entertainment.
Well, going from serving 5,700 meals a day to zero because the CDC is apparently running the country will have that effect.
@@R1project0 Yeah the food has always been shit lol
@@R1project0 Yeah, it is worse than awful.
I've been going there since i was a kid. I'll be 40 this year. Hearing about Matt and Trey buying the place is super exciting. Once they open up for food again, I'm going back. Maybe I'll reserve Cartman's table?
No fkkkn way, lol. This has been out for 5 years and I just got recommended the video.
Didn't think I'd get this much likes, lol. 🍻 to all the South Park fans
Me tooo, are we watching the same videos?
@@SeBas14gaBriel24 Who know's? Lol
Sameee.
DazedMMJ I too just got recommend this HAHA
It's beautiful when the algorithm brings us together ❤
I thought it was a make-believe place in the minds of the south park producers. I was pleasantly surprised by how fun and friendly the place is. That would be a great place to work.
It is a place that you go to only once and realize it is some of the worse food that you've ever had.
@@robertmitton3584 now that Matt and trey own it they said the first thing they're going to do is improve the food
I really love the ambiance and underground nighttime village setting. Reminds me of the temple in Disney World's Mexican pavilion.
This place is stuck in my head! I went as kid because I had family in Colorado and it was my birthday. I always remembered the cliff divers, but couldn't remember the name of the place. Seeing the headlines that South Park creators bought the place brought me back to childhood memories. I thought it was the coolest place in the world as a kid.
Why are people arguing about the quality of the food?
It’s served on cafeteria trays. Why would you expect quality?
Also i guess the only mexican food they know is taco bell...
cause mexican cuisine is from the top quality among the meals of the continent. But hey, they gotta make ends meet so its frozen food for yall
@@babauranai no, Mexican food is bad
@@GS-qe3pt to each their own
@@liberationwasalie2982 what? I'm not Mexican

Rainforest Cafe was cool as hell! Casa Bonita is like Pancho's & Rainforest combined into one!
@@Angelwolfs9 I miss Pancho’s
@@danieldaniels7571 Luckily I've still got 1 in the area, but they unfortunatly changed the recipe on the cheese sauce & some other things. I wish they'd revamp & make a comeback!
@@Angelwolfs9 I live in Phoenix and all the locations here have long since closed. It was my favorite place to eat as a kid and in my 20s I went there a lot. I just turned 51.
I've seen the South Park episode on casa Bonita so many times and after all these years I honestly had no idea this place was real until now and it's freaking great to know that the creators of South Park actually brought the place!
I grew up in Denver and Casa Bonita was absolutely the ONLY place anyone ever wanted to go for their birthdays. I'm old enough that I remember Casa Bonita before Black Bart's Hideout. I remember when they expanded the back of the restaurant to add that. Funny thing, it's in a strip mall in a pretty bad neighborhood, and always was.
Yeah getting worse.... Homeless people hanging out, methheads.... Having lots of cheap motels nearby is not helping either.... Yet you go few blocks and you see remodeled homes.....

Matt Stone and Trey Parker plan to purchase the place
They filed for bankruptcy so I commend matt and trey for wanting to preserve the place.
Of course the place was featured in a well known and loved episode of South Park, but I surmise matt and trey grew up with the place in their personal lives and therefore Casa Bonita has a spot in their hearts. They can't see the place go. Good for them if they end up actually buying it.
They officially purchased Casa Bonita!!! It was announced yesterday. 😉
I can’t believe Stone and Parker bought this place! It’s so awesome.
I no longer wonder why Colorado was one of the first states to legalize marijuana

My mom worked there in the 80s haha
“Have you been in a restaurant that has a waterfall??”
Me getting flashbacks to Rainforest Cafe
As a native of Denver, I can explain some of the mystic around Casa Bonita. Yes, the food is about the equivalent of a TV dinner. There's 100 Mexican restaurants in Denver that are better, but you don't go to Casa Bonita for the food, you go for the experience. It's life cycle restaurant meaning you go as a child/teenager with the family, then you get in your 20s/30s and don't go there for about 15 years or so and then if you have kids, you go again.
Chuck M i would do that but only at a Waffle House...
Fun fact - this guy is actually cartman after therapy all grown up
So happy Trey and Matt bought this place. I hear the food needs an upgrade but how hard is tacos rice and beans. South Park is my favorite show. One day I go to Colorado I will definitely be visiting Casa Bonita.
They might serve some real mexican food, we don't eat a lot of rice or beans actually, that will be an improve (sorry for My Bad English)
You heard right. The food was awful. Bland mush. That's why they barely talk about food. I didn't have the sopapillas. They might be servicable. Great experience though.
The issue is you're serving 5,000+ people a day
@@andyinsames from the 3.5 ⭐ average google reviews of that place, it seemed like a tourist trap 😂
@@andyinsames The sopapillas were THE one thing to eat there. :)
I love that bit about having to put on extra staff after the SP episode airs.
This is a real place?
I thought this was a joke to stereotype "over the top" America, the fact that its real though...
Will admit its pretty incredible to look at though.
As a Colorado resident I can definitely confirm that it's real. It basically hasn't changed in over 20 years.
It’s real, and kind of a “rite of passage” as a Coloradan to go there. It’s not good, mind you, but it’s interesting.
@hesh lord yeah it's really bad
Most of the stuff in South Park is based on real shit in Colorado
@@matthewbonner-moss7090 It hasn't changed in like 40years it's like the most infamous place in Colorado! Lol not famous for the food if that's what you're wondering though.
I loved the part where Cartman jumps off the cliff and Kyle goes, "JESUS CHRIST!!" lol
I wonder if anyone ever pulled a Cartman and went up the cliff and jumped....
As a kid I use to go there all the time. The waterfall, cave, and puppet shows give me such a good feeling. I wish I could go back someday.
Watching this makes me really miss Pancho's! The food, the sopapillas, the "raising the flag" for more food.....it's exactly like a "Fancy" Pancho's! Like if Rainforest Cafe & Pancho's had a kid, it would be Casa Bonita!

Im only here cause the south park creators are trying to buy it. LOL 🤣

Ditto. I'm beating myself up for not knowing this place existed when I went to Colorado for a vacation. This place looks amazing.
I went there around 1992 with a few friends when I lived in Colorado Springs. It was pretty cool.
Fun Fact: There's a City Wok in the Denver airport, middle aged white dude was working it so I think they made up the character lol

When you aren’t from the area, the day you discover Casa Bonita is a real place is very spiritual and astounding; Like the birth of a child, but with Black Bart’s Cave and cliff-divers.
You nailed it. I thought it was some cheesy themed restaurant in a bad neighborhood made up by Tray and Matt. Learning it actually exists made me want to fly out to Denver exclusively to visit Casa Bonita.
When you project your sales from the airing of a specific episode of a show, you know you have something really special. :)

I would only go because it came out in South Park, but Tex Mex food always looks like porridge with 10 kilos of yellow cheese on top, I haven't seen a restaurant in America that really does Mexican food and I really wish they would try real Mexican dishes. because the tacos here (not in the USA) will be the biggest addiction of a foreigner, period
Adrian,
I was listening to NPR radio driving home today when the topic was "What States have the best Mexican Food Restaurants in the country?
Alot of people were saying Texas, Arizona, New Mexico an on and on the interviewers went.
Then a lady said. "You guys have not been to Casa Bonita in Denver Colorado, where the food is not only good, but they have Cliff Divers and giant water falls, and deep caves, and a giant snake that swallows you up as you walk into its belly, gun fights, sword fights, giant stage performances.
And everyone said what????
This video proves she was apparently right! It would be cool to see this in person.
"The wishing well has a monster at the bottom."
He looks like a drunk Captain Planet... who took the restaurants tequila down to zero.
Earth!
Wind!
Water!
Fire!
Tacos!
"...so you're gonna want to check that out"
I thought he was gonna say mecca leka hi mecca hiney ho.
I was going to say more like a drunk Eric Andre cosplaying as Captain Planet...
That thing made me cry when I was little.
After years of loving that South Park episode, I was today years old to discover it was all real
Woo! Trey and Matt own this place now!
I'm sorry but as someone who loves TexMex, that food does NOT look good.
The food at CB will be a lot better when it reopens. They have a professional chef reimagining the menu.
