SPRING BREAK!!!
"You know you are from Colorado if... you take all your friends to Casa Bonita but you would NEVER eat there yourself". Apparently, Casa Bonita is a kind of cultural landmark around the Denver area, everyone knows about it. It is this huge family restaurant specializing in mass-produced Mexican food. It is all you can eat, in a manor of speaking. You just choose beef or chicken when you come in, and you get a plate with tacos, burritos, and whatnot. You can get another of the same, all you have to do is ask. . We went out to eat right after skiing earlier that day, so a few of us were really burned. Namely me, but I think Leon was a little red also. As you can see, Leon enjoyed his tacos tremendously, and after finishing his first plate, he ordered another taco from our waitress who was obviously very tired. When she brought back a huge plate of tacos, the shocked look on Leon's face was priceless... he had only been expecting one. So we set him up, holding his plate of tacos, shocked expression and all, for a photo. That's when this waitress happened to walk by again. Fuming, she demands... "Is there something WRONG with this PLATE?!?!" Oh man, I'd never seen someone so pissed off about customers before. Hopefully we redeemed ourselves when we left, as we left a big tip. |
The thing Casa Bonita is most famous for is its dinner shows. The restaurant is like four stories tall, with a pool in the middle. They put on these dive shows, where divers from the local universities would go up top and dive through the levels to the pool. They also put on these skits, the one I remember best was a monkey jumping around stage, tricking the other actors into falling off the rocks into the pool. In addition to the skits that were going on over there, there was a roving mariachi band playing for the customers. After dinner, we walked through their little set up carnival. The whole building was set up to look like a city, much like Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas. Overall, the entertainment was pretty cheesy, but it added to the atmosphere of the place.
