Casa Bonita. Don't do it man. If you without kids there a plenty of better dinning establishments. Had a great meal a the Capital Grill last week. Might not be able to afford another for sometime however.

Have fun.

The drive up Mt. Evans is pretty awesome if you have time. Guanella Pass, Highway 7 from Idaho Springs to Estes is nice too. Hope it's a great trip. Let me know if you need anything while here. I can advise of things in Denver area is you're interested.

You mean you actually ate the food?!?!?!? I could give it to my dog and he would turn his nose up! But I bet the kids had a good time. Have a good time heading up to Leadville. What you gonna do up there?

Now that you've been to Casa Bonita

, if you want to actually eat some Mexican food, here's a few places you can try. They're in no particular order and all of them are good:

Tosh's Hacienda - 3090 Downing St
Brewery Bar II - 150 Kalamath St
La Loma Restaurant - 2527 W. 26th Ave.
El Taco De Mexico - 714 Santa FE Dr
Taqueria Patzcuaro - 2616 W 32nd Ave

When in doubt, it's all about good green chile!

Rafting and Alpine Slide are fun for kids. That place on 32nd does have good green chile!

Ahhh, I grew up in Denver and I remember Casa Bonita. They still do that Fire Diving into the pool?

You mean Casa Bonita isn't just a South Park episode? I am very very frightened....

DougC · 08-24-2004, 03:47 PM

Girl I knew well in college used to dive there. Food out of the box, into the nuke and onto the plate. Yummm...........

What time you gonna be at Mt. Evans? I might be heading to Gunnison/Blue Mesa area on Sat AM so don't know if I can do it, but might buzz up there if time allows. Hope you're having a good time so far. Been nice weather for you I think.
