I have eaten in Denver but most of the places I ate at are probably no
longer there as it was over 30 years ago. Casa Bonita is still there but
from what I read online, it is no longer good. It was a nice Mexican place
when we were there. Beautiful interior with nearly nude male cliff divers
for entertainment. But from what I read, not only did they let the place go
but they cheapened the food that they served to the the point of being
inedible.
