Saturday night we ventured out to Casa Bonita! This restaurant has been around for a long time and Mark probably hadn't been there since he was about 8 years old! I had heard about it a bunch of times since I moved to Denver but hadn't made there until this weekend! Our good friend Jess and I had talked about wanting to go before she moves this summer. And since she leaves in 2 weeks- the time was now!
When I googled Casa Bonita to get directions an article popped up titled, "How to Survive Casa Bonita: The Weirdest Mexican Restauraunt". And I laugh now because that article just about sums up our experience!
Actually, Casa Bonita boasts that it is the "World's Most Exciting Restaurant"! And because they "feature live entertainment and because the atmosphere is so unique" they "require every person under two years of age to purchase a dinner before entering the restaurant".
Despite the Mexican flair- Nolan ordered chicken strips and french fries! He was a smart man! He had the best meal of the night!
However, the all you can eat sopaipillas were excellent! Did I eat $11.95 worth of them?
Casa Bonita "sincerely believes that you will understand after seeing:
strolling musicians
daring cliff divers
exciting gunfights
amazing musicians
the hilarious puppet show
dancing monkeys in costume
&
splendid appointments: behold the roaring waterfall, graceful palms, volcanic mountain, caves, sparkling pool, mine, jail, etc, etc, etc."
Despite the less than stellar food, we did have great company and Nolan had a most excellent time! You could not peel him away from watching the divers!
He also braved "Black Bart's Cave". He'll tell you all about the red skull that glowed and made a loud noise that made us all jump and the ghost and the big teeth and on and on and on!
And he even got to do one of his most favorite things- throwing pennies in the fountain! All in all, I'm glad we went! It was a fun filled family evening!
And Jess...I'm so glad that we were able to have this truly once in a lifetime experience with you! What will we do without you when you leave?

It looks like I remember...do they still have the flags that you raise at your tables? Jess, have a safe trip to your new home. I'm sure you'll have an amazing experience. We'll miss you come next volleyball season!
