The Disneyland of Mexican Restaurants

I decided that the TV show South Park is hilarious. Even more hilarious to Colorado natives since there is so much underlying humor built in the show for us Coloradans. Yesterday I went to the “Disneyland of Mexican Restaurants,” Casa Bonita! If it wasn’t for South Park, I think this place would have gone under years ago. The episode where the gang or Stan, Kyle, Cartman and Kenny trek to South Park is one of my favorites.

Now, this restaurant is not the most delicious, nor is it the least expensive thing ever, but when you go, it envelops you in an entirely different atmosphere. I went with some of my closest friends: my staff. The Casa Bonita experience is not complete without the genius of the sopapillas. These magical pieces of puff pastry are awesome when drenched in honey… I had 5 of them. Needless to say, my stomach was pissed for a while. But the notion of driving over an hour for a not-so-great restraint for the pure atmosphere is crazy! Going there was so much fun. With Black Bart’s Cave and Piñatas, my staff and I had a great time bonding and taking a break from campus.

As much fun as campus is, it can’t be your whole life, and every once in a while it’s good to get away and gain new energy for the rest of the semester. Now with Spring Break right around the corner, I can’t wait to see what other things I can do to keep my energy up. It really is true what Cartman says about Casa Bonita: “Food, Fun and a Festive atmosphere!”
