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

Feb 17, 2026, 4:33 PM | Updated: Feb 18, 2026, 11:25 am

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.
