Casa Bonita

6715 W Colfax Ave, Lakewood, 80214-1807, CO

This Mexican eatery is less a restaurant, more an entertainment complex. Strolling mariachi bands, cowboy shootouts, and a runaway gorilla entertain guests while they dine on mediocre Mexican favorites, like tacos, enchiladas and chile con queso. But honestly, you don’t go here for the food, rather the atmosphere. After all, there’s not only an arcade game room, caverns filled with stalactites, and magicians to occupy the kids, but also cliff divers — yes, cliff divers — who plunge from the top of a 30-foot waterfall. Order a mug of the house-special Casarita to help keep your sanity in the midst of all of the (loud and chaotic) diversions.
