Lakewood, CO Mexican Restaurants

Inconsistent food orders. Employee variance makes a huge difference in end result. We want to like this, it is usually disappointing though.

" Metal in my Colorado burrito " It was a long thin piece of metal off one of those metal scrub pads. We talked to the waitress about it and she said that the cooks use them to pick up hot handles of the cooking pans, which is a health code violation. She acted like it was no big deal and she new exactly what it was which tells me it must be fairly common. I reported them this evening 04/13/2017 to the Jefferson county health department. I am a little worried because I may have ingested a piece of metal, I ate about half my meal before I had the long piece of metal I pulled out of my mouth but did chew on something that seemed to be a little hard earlier in the meal. I just feel that I needed to let people know because they don't seem to think it is a big deal and who knows what issues that can cause someone. Just one more thing, the manager did not even bother to come apologize to me from what the waitress said that her manager instructed her to take half off the bill. We were regular customers for this owner and this is how we were treated, we will not be going back. Its wasn't about the money for us it was the simple fact they didn't care enough to apologize and comp the bill which you would think is more than fair, now they need to worry about the health inspector, negative reviews, lost business from us, people who heard us around our table and a possible lawsuit if I end up having to suffer any health related issues from their negligence. This place isn't the gem it appeared to be. Check your food.

If I hadn't wasted my life by getting a career, I would be PROUD to call Casa Bonita my employer! I would cliff dive the bejeesus out of this place. Is the food not the best in the whole world? No. I agree, it's not the "best", BUT I have had worse. Let's be honest people- if you are going for the food, you are just plain silly. But where else is one supposed to get Taco Bell-esque food WITH a waterfall ?! C'mon! I personally have never had food thrown at me, she slid it in my general direction rather enthusiastically & served it with an authentic Spanish accent- OLE! & I like cows so I didn't mind being herded- moo.Flag system to get your server- borderline genius! I take any sign that says "All you can eat" as a personal challenge. I ate my Chicken Deluxe dinner & then some AND got me some major sopapilla action- Delicioso!As if this magical dining experience wasn't enough, I was serenaded by the strolling mariachi bands. & watched the acting chops of the young thespians as they tried to capture the devious Black Bart. AND THEN! After eating, you get to explore the cavernous maze in Black Bart's Cave. I have been here probably 50 times & I will admit children have soiled themselves which on its own is scarier than the cave, but when there is no human child excrement, the experience is uber fun!Don't forget to stop by the gift shop! We always get our sombrero pics!& the arcade- blast from the past! If you haven't fed Big Bertha since the late 80's then step right up- this woman is hungry! I bring EVERYONE here. I wish there were a reward program because I would never have to pay for food because I bring someone new every time I go! I am pretty much their poster child. Best place in the whole world.... & dare I say- the whole town ♥I was sad reading these reviews because some people are just lame & have no fun. Word to the wise- you are only as old as you feel! You make the experience- are you going to have a good time or are you going to be all cranky?

staff is very friendly and attentive , the food is good too

They call this Mexican food? It was disgusting slop for the price it costs to eat there. The cafeteria trays had a very prison like feel and set the tone of our dining experience. Kids were running around everywhere and it was clearly obvious that their parents treated this place like daycare. It's utter chaos in there, so be sure to take your headache medicine before you come here! Chuckle Cheese is mellow compared to here. Fun for kids, but as an adult, it's a nightmare come true!

Erratic to awful service! My wife asked the hostess twice to get us a server, took almost a half hour for our order to be taken. Have had similar experience several times. Better than average Mexican food, large menu.

there was not to much people and waited 30 minutes for my food...had to take it to go instead

You have got to go here! this place has the best breakfast burritos and authentic homemade recipes! i stop here every morn on my way to work and order the #3 held held burrito w hot chili! friendly staff and very clean restruant. The Best EVER!

My friend brought me here 4 years ago and LOVED it. Ever since then we go as much as we can. We both crave it and she drives a hour and I drive about 30min just to go to this location. Great food every time.
