I just went after a 14 month reservation wait. I'd never been but my wife grew up going as a kid. This place is magical. I'm so glad it was saved and from what I have been told, 95% of the original feel is all there - preserved. What a wonderful place. Matt and Trey are heros.
As a Denver kid in the 70s and 80s, yep, you're totally right. I totally understand Trey's obsession with it. If i had the money, i'd have certainly done the same thing.
@@FleeebCrabinProductionsEven though I prefer Season 7, and it’s my favourite season of South Park, I think Season 8 is objectively the best season of it, simply because every single episode in that season in particular is pure comedy gold. Trey and Matt made Season 8 during the same year they made Team America (2004), which they said was the most stressful time of their lives, which just adds to the weight of what a masterpiece season 8 is, in my opinion. It is beyond impressive to me what they pulled off that year in particular, given the insane amounts stress they were both under, in terms of consistency in both production quality and a ridiculously good level of comedic content.
The heroes we deserve. Seriously guys. This is like someone saying “remember that childhood memory you thought was lost forever? Instead of turning it into a Home Depot, two guys spent a considerable amount of their fortunes SAVING it” I’ll be forever grateful. It’s quite possibly the nicest thing a stranger has EVER done for me, and I’m a lucky guy. Can’t wait to see the documentary, and as always: THANKS MATT AND TREY!!!
I'm a proud Casa Bonita Cult Follower! The unforgettable smell of Casa Bonita-a hint of chlorine mixed with adventure-is forever etched in my memory. As a kid in the '70s and early '80s, my parents would take me to Casa Bonita 1-2 times a year, with EVERY birthday celebrated there. As 40 years later I've flown friends in from out of state just to experience it! Someday, I hope to either propose on stage or get married there. And yes, jumping off that cliff is still on my bucket list! I can't wait for this documentary to hit Minneapolis-I'll be there for every screening!
I’m with you! I was born and raised in Boulder, CO and went every year for my birthday in the 70’s and early 80’s until we moved to the southeast. It was such an adventure!!! The sopapillas were the best ever!!! Here in the southeast they cover a tortilla chip with cinnamon and sugar and call it a sopapillas..yuck! I will definitely be making a trip now to visit the cousins, lol
I used to throat my bff there under the water we were just experimenting obviously but he would always hold my head underwater and absolutely jackhammer my throat while looking around to make sure the coast was clear. I still remember the squelching suction sound it made, I had to practically unhinge my jaw because my friend would be pumping _so_ vigorously. He said it never felt as good as it did out of water because even though my throat was really warm and deep, the water took away the lubrication so he didn't get to experience that slimy feeling although sometimes he would grab hold of my hair and lift his hips up out of the water so that he could feel it -- he would just snatch my hair and push/pull my head back and forth as fast as he could and he said my dad would be looking around confused because he could hear me going "GURK GURK GURK GURK GULURH GLURGL GURGH" but we were tucked away by some fake bushes in the water lmao
I performed magic shows there from 1976 to 1984. During the off-season, when my shows were only on the weekends, and my income was not enough to survive, I vacuumed the entire upper section six nights a week from 11:30 p.m. to around 6:30 a.m. It was the best years of my life.
Not so much for our childhoods of those who grew up in Denver that went here often. It's for future generations to see what cultural tradition looks like. Appreciate the South Park Boys for bringing it back to life.
Casa Bonita is a Native cultural heritage site. It's just like the Purina plant on I-70 that coincidently also supplied the meat for the Casa Bonita tacos.
Ha, called it! I knew the resto would be a doc. Glad they did it, America keeps losing its identity when places like this close down. I def plan to go next time I’m in Colorado.
@@orlagh277 *YES! VERY YES!* The atmosphere is SO intact. The place looks as amazing as I remember. The main fare of food is now DELICIOUS! The place oozes fun...instead of mildew.
@@sierraraposaApparently starting in October, you'll be able to reserve a time normally like any other restaurant. Done is the waiting list sign up thing
I’ve been on the list for 6mo’s and still nothing. When we drove through CO, I still had to go see the outside. It was like visiting Wally World and knowing it’s closed. Definitely worth getting a picture in front of it. A true “Mecca” for the die hard fans.
I've never been a big fan of their show but when I saw that they bought Casa Bonita and were hellbent on saving it, I had nothing but respect for them. They have done the unthinkable and saved an irreplaceable marvel. I'll bet the owners are happy they let South Park do that Casa Bonita episode!
90% of my high school friends worked at Casa Bonita at one time or another ;-). I worked there for about a week. They made me pull weeds by the fountain. I quit! I was a bratty kid. LOL!
I’ve already planned to make a pilgrimage to Casa Bonita when I visit my college bestie in CO. She’s not an SP fan but she’s coming with me to experience this heaven on Earth. Also, are Trey and Matt really Sweet fans? I LOVE their music!
With as much disposable income as Trey must have, this was the PERFECT indulgence. I bet he felt as much relief as he did stress to make the re-opening happen. It’s a nightmare and, at the same time, elation to finally be eating away at that stash of gold bars piling up at his bank for a great cause and idea. Some wealthy people collect expensive cars, or jewelry. Trey resuscitates memories. And all it’s gonna do is make him even richer!
We drove the 14 hours from Minnesota to Colorado JUST to go here and I'm so glad we did. I can't wait for the doc to come out. It was the best time at a restaurant I've ever had in my life
Really hope this gets released to a wider audience on a streaming platform or something! I would love to see this but there is nowhere near playing it.
I laughed, i grimaced, i cheered, i cried. What a roller coaster. See the joy on all the kids' faces was amazing. Part of me feels the city/state should of stepped in a little to help out with such a landmark. I'm sure there's plenty of bullshit the government is doing in Colorado can be diverted to preserving the places it's future depends on; establishments with focus on children's interactions with their community.
Casa Bonita!!!!!!! As a kid in Tulsa we would go there once or twice a month! It was an amazing place to eat. (And sometimes we'd go there after an afternoon at Bell's Amusement Park.)
All of Colorado is looking forward ot the opening to the general public without a winning the reservation lottery. We want to come, you just are not open to walk up customers. Edit: As of 1st, October 2024; CB will be open to the general public.
I grew up going to the one in Colorado, then my family tried out the one in Tulsa when we lived in Kansas. Definitely not the same -- you've got to get out to the one in CO!
@@Jai_BestLife Yes, when I was in high school, I was with a traveling group that had a scheduled lunch at CB in Tulsa. I'd been to the Denver CB and so I was really excited....until I got there. It was just like every other slightly more upscale Mexican restaurant of its day, having none of the Denver CB vibe.
So funny seeing everyone look at this place. I used to live like 12 blocks from it a while back. Such a strange area. If you remember the gentrification episodes, this area is a great example. Your walking around a nice neighborhood and then you walk two more feet and there is the halfway house, and closed business with graffitit all over. Casa Bonita is in the crummy part... before I moved, several years ago, they randomly named the crummy part 40 west arts district, haha setting up for the gentrifiying.
Somehow I got the feeling that the title of this documentary is an homage to the romantic melodrama movie called Hiroshima mon Amour, but with a Spanish flair.
I'm pretty sure Casa bonita timed the opening of the restaurant with this film. 🤔 The remodel was 100% done almost 2yrs ago. Over 600,000 people signed up and were/are waiting. For what? A MTV documentary in theaters for 1 day only? Wow!
@@OHGODHELPPLEASE over 200,000 people on that list from the first month never got the privilege. We are now super duper exclusive members of the Casa Bonita founders club. Oooooohh
because of his obsession with casa bonita and the money pit that it is…we got more south park on paramount in order to fund this🤣 its an all around win
@@Turk_2023that’s because they are locked into a contract with Paramount rn. They have been focusing on the restaurant for a few years and they don’t have the energy to make a full season yet. Just give them time let them make this a success so they have a passive source of income and they will most likely do one more full 12-16 episode season before making a theatrical movie to finish the series sometime in 2029-2034.
Well, they poured so much money into the restoration that it will take decades to break even. Even at the expensive prices. It's a tourist trap now, but if that's what it takes to keep it around, I'm ok with it.
Can't wait to see. Except, this screams 'renter' to me. As excited as I am, no way would I pay $15. I can wait until streaming. Good luck, guys and thanks for rebuilding it. I'm a Coloradan who remembers it all, especially the lousy school cafeteria style eating experience. It was always still worth it
Trey and Matt are re----s. It's really idoitic to even think that these two wannabes didn't have this "documentary" scripted.
