"Get Ready to Dine at Casa Bonita: Reopening in 2023"

Casa Bonita, the legendary Mexican restaurant in Denver known for its unique entertainment and criticized food, is gearing up to reopen after declaring bankruptcy in 2020. The restaurant, listed on the Lakewood Historical Society’s Register of Historic Landmarks, was bought by "South Park" creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker. While the reopening date is still unknown, Casa Bonita announced a soft opening with limited dinner hours, and customers can sign up for the email list to be one of the first to dine in. The new executive chef, Dana Rodriguez, is a three-time James Beard award nominee, giving hope for better food.
