Raise your flag for fresh sopaipillas, Denver! The wait is finally over. If you’ve been wanting to experience the new and improved Casa Bonita, it’s your time to get in line without having to wait for your name to be drawn in a lottery. Many waited for months to be selected to make reservations, while others never received the good news.

Since the iconic restaurant reopened in May 2023, the only way you could get through the doors of the pink castle was to be selected via a lottery for reservations. For many fans, it was frustrating because it could take months for your name to be drawn.
As of October 1, 2024, Casa Bonita will no longer require diners to have a pre-paid ticket. The restaurant will operate just like most others in town by making reservations. Walk-ins will not be allowed.
The other major change fans will experience is that there will no longer be a “buffet line”. (Die-hard fans will miss the experience of getting their “school lunch tray” and snaking through the restaurant to get their meal.) Diners will be seated, served and pay their bill just like any other restaurant.
As of now, the pricing isn’t expected to change. Adult entrées will remain from $29.99 to $39.99 and children’s from $19.99 to $24.99. Pricing varies from lunch to dinner.
There will be two dining options:
Standard Dining seats you in a themed dining area.
Premium Dining puts you in the center of the action near the cliffs and waterfall.
Casa Bonita is open for the following hours:
Tuesday and Wednesday from 4 p.m. to 10:30 p.m.
Thursday through Saturday from 11 a.m. to 10:30 p.m.
Sunday from 11 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
The castle doors will be open to the general public starting October 1, 2024.
Diners can start making reservations on September 16, 2024 for October and November at casabonitadenver.com.
Members of The Founders Club have access to priority reservations starting at 9 a.m.
General public reservations become available starting at 3 p.m.
