The place is iconic and awful all at the same time. I think it's kind of the equivalent of when the Chiefs brought in Andy. Everyone knows there's potential but just needs someone who knows what they're doing (and in this case, has some money) to fix it up a bit.

My mother (RIP) took me there about 40 years ago, it was an experience.

Eh, it's definitely an older, run down neighborhood. I don't necessarily think it's a high crime area, but there aren't a ton of reasons that one would normally find themselves in that area.

I almost never go to that part of town, but my impression is that it's not glitzy but not dangerous.

Mmmmm... Snacky Cakes, Cheesy Poofs and Coo-Coo Chips now available at Casa Bonita!

Always loved the place as a kid, but the food was iffy all the way back to the seventies. It was edible back then, but it hasn't been for a while now at Denver. We went to the Tulsa location as a kid sometimes too, but I am not sure if it was better or worse. If they fix the gross food, I'll take the nieces and nephews and grandkids when we go to Colorado every couple of years. Nostalgia is powerful stuff.

Once. Twice is too much. See it once then laugh about it when it crosses your mind.

Speaking as a guy that grew up in the Cleveland area and who has lived in Denver for three decades, I’d say there are no dangerous neighborhoods in Denver. There are run down neighborhoods for sure, but none that I’d consider dangerous.

This ep and the Awesome-O robot friend are the 2 best eps that involve Butters and Cartman.

Shows how much I know:(

Football forum: Some football dudes went in and bought some restaurant in Denver. Happens all the time. Is it really thread worthy? Dunno. The Trey dude is teams DE and the Matt dude is his best friend as a LB from another team. They went to college together.

I surmised all this from the thread name on the Lounge main page.

After 2 days, was bored and clicked.

D'OH





As you can guess, I have only seen 2 episodes of South Park. I just watched the Casa Bonita one. Pretty good. I will have to try and watch more.

Colfax used to be pretty rough back in the day. Did they clean it up?

FYI Matt & Trey apparently have been going to Casa Bonita since they were kids. When they were considering the purchase their main goal, aside from closing the deal, was to vastly improve the food. A place like that doesn't have to serve airplane food...it is not that much work and cost to make really good Mexican food; it just takes some pride in the work you do.

Central and East Colfax aren't necessarily rough,but they're definitely inner city. West Colfax is just old.

I lived on Quebec off of Colfax for 2 years in the ‘90s. It was shady but not dangerous. Our home bar was the Drift Inn. Tons of characters there.
