Are you ready for fresh sopaipillas again, Denver? Denver’s fun family restaurant since 1973, Casa Bonita is finally opening its pink castle doors for business again. This year marks the iconic local restaurant’s 50th anniversary, so there are many reasons to celebrate its much-anticipated reopening! The restaurant officially reopened on June 23, 2023.

While beta-testing Casa Bonita, the iconic family friendly restaurant will be open with limited dinner hours.
Diners can expect to experience lots of fun, along with delicious Mexican food — including “daring cliff divers, glorious gold & silver mines, amazing magicians, a roaring waterfall, hilarious puppet show and world-famous sopaipillas.”
How to Get Tickets
The first diners will be pulled exclusively from Casa Bonita’s email list. No walk-ins. Those selected and contacted via e-mail will have an opportunity to purchase tickets.
The restaurant is expected to open in phases, before being fully operational seven days a week.
Currently, the website still isn’t selling tickets. Instead, selected email subscribers are receiving special links to a protected site for buying tickets.
“A limited number of dates will be made available on a rolling basis. Should your preferred time not be available, check back – your link will remain valid for 90 days.”
Until tickets are available for purchase to the general public, sign-up for Casa Bonita’s email list for your chance to be invited early.

So excited!
Been going there several times a year for the last 30+ years.
Cant wait to fly out from San Francisco for a Grand Opening.
My partner Jon and I are getting married this fall, and would love to enjoy a great environment. My partner Jon is native to Colorado and has always shared stories with me about how his grandparents would take him there as a kid and has always wanted me to experience it. We would love to receive invitations to the grand opening.
Love this place
Would love to see an enjoy the new an improved casa Bonita
I am patiently waiting
Looks good
So excited for you to reopen.
Bring it on!!!
Would luv a invite
Spent my whole life bringing my kids here while they were young, ready to start with the grand babies now!!
I absolutely must see this to believe it! The greatest restaurant in the world has been a part of our family since we moved to Colorado in 1984. The number of friends and family we have taken to see the cliff divers is too many to count. Excited to once again enjoy visiting this pink icon!
So excited have been looking everyday
I miss this iconic restaurant.Im a Colorado native and alot of generations have passed through their doors. Will the mariach’s still be there? Can’t wait!
I just love Casa Bonita and look forward to returning. However, those prices are double what they used to be. It doesn’t seem affordable for families anymore.
Is a $39.99 ticket required to just go in and look around without buying anything?
Richard – As it’s noted in the post, every person who enters must purchase a ticket. The ticket includes a meal, soft drink and sopaipillas. -BKC
This has been a yearly family outing for 40 years! Love Casa Bonita!
It will be fun when the general public can start going. I have not heard of anyone getting access yet, only family, friends, and VIPs so far.
