    It’s super exciting to hear that there will be focus on the food. I don’t live near the colorado area and I’ve never been to Casa Bonita but this makes me want to go badly!!

    The best way is to stick to authenticity and not try to make it good by making it look fancy. In restaurants, so many plates look fancy and taste horrible or lack flavor. If they can pull flavorful authentic plates, cleanliness, and great customer service... I bet the place will boom! Given the fact that it already has the South Park hype.

    Prices are not worth it. 😕 I know plenty of restaurants with authentic Mexican food at half the cost 😋. I have been going to Casa Bonita since I was a kid but not nearly as expensive as it is now. I will not go back any longer. I am a Colorado Native and will die a Colorado Native.

Don't goto the grocery store, or your local sushi restaurant for sushi, you can only eat that in Japan! Goodbye KFC, you gotta goto Kentucky for Kentucky fried chicken! Cya POPEYES, goto Louisiana for beans & rice. AND DON'T EVEN THINK about going to the "new" CASA BONITA II, you have to goto MEXICO to get MEXICAN FOOD! RIP CASA BONITA I. Vash, you brain is literally worse than Casa Bonita's original food. Try using logic next time.
