Not in the pool, mind you! Two of my grandsons dove wholeheartedly into the sopapillas at Denver's (in)famous Casa Bonita. Once known for meals that would stick to your plate if you held it sideways, it's now known for pretty good food (yes, really!) and for being a great but expensive place to spend some family time. And it was for everyone involved!
If you live in Denver, Casa Bonita is an institution! Known for cliff divers, a gorilla, sopapillas and inedible food, it was a must-see tourist attraction. Once it was put on South Park, it became world famous. In 2021, South Park's creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker purchased the fading gem of Denver kitsch and made it famous again. Rumor has it the food is now good but reservations impossible to get. The new Casa Bonita Mi Amor! tells the tale of the transformation. Trust me, it will be worth watching!
