Overview

Casa Bonita opened in 1974 in an unassuming strip mall. The massive “Disneyland of Mexican restaurants” is an Old West and Acapulco-inspired fever dream made famous by its indoor waterfall, cliff divers, and haunted caves, and was featured in a classic 2003 episode of South Park. When its creators, Trey Parker and Matt Stone, learn that Casa Bonita might close its doors for good, they attempt to preserve a crumbling piece of their childhood and Denver history.

Viewing Notes

Really funny and entertaining documentary. Fixing the mess left by the previous owners and watching the renovation of the restaurant is fascinating in itself.  But as the problems and costs continue to pile up, it’s the humor of Parker and Stone that takes the film over the top.
