“Casa Bonita! Casa Bonita! Food and fun in a festive atmosphere.Casa Bonita!”
You might know these famous lyrics sung to the tune of “La Cucaracha” by Butters Stotch in the TV show South Park. But did you know Casa Bonita is a real place?
In 2003, the character Eric Cartman declared Casa Bonita "the greatest place in the world." Now, thanks to creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone, that dream is now more real than ever. After purchasing the Lakewood, Colorado, landmark out of bankruptcy in 2021, Parker and Stone invested over $40 million into its renovation. The result? A revitalized Casa Bonita that maintains its quirky charm while offering improved dining and entertainment experiences.
