Casa Bonita on a budget: Denver’s famous Mexican restaurant introduces Thursday lunch special

Checking out Casa Bonita since the “South Park” guys took over is worth it, but maybe only once because it is not cheap! However, it did just get a little cheaper, at least once a week.

The legendary Denver Mexican Restaurant will run you $39.99 per adult and $24.99 per kid without any extras or drinks. That adds up quickly, especially for families.

However, there is finally a little relief. Casa Bonita has introduced a Thursday lunch special with lower rates starting at $19.99 for kids and $29.99 for adults, Thursdays from 11 a.m. – 3:30 p.m.

Reservations are open through May, and at the time of publishing this article, you could pick pretty much any Thursday lunch time you want.
