I miss it.
I miss it.
There used to be one on Penn & Britton. Forever ago.
Hold on - Casa Bonita's the place where you'd raise a flag to alert the wait staff of your need for service - correct? And later they went to an all-out buffet??
Isn't it still open in Tulsee?
I thought it was meh. (Yes I realize that it was the reopened one after the fire.)
Apparently they have a lot in Colorado still. Found some while searching for that picture.
and Crystals...
The only one left is in Denver. I actually went a couple months again, when I was there on business. The food and service was just as awful as I remember, but at least there was some sweet cliff diving.
Heh, when you GIS "Casa Bonita" some not so safe for work images come up.
Wow. Casa was a big deal when I was in my teens and early 20s. (late 70's early 80's). We'd get a gang together, stand in line on a Saturday night, and eat ourselves sick. A real event. I always thought the food was great, but did not get out to eat much in those days.
Fun times, and a good cross-section of society there, like going to the fair. Sappy nostalgia.
I ate at the one in Tulsa when it reopened a few years ago. Let's just say that it wasn't what I remembered and I didn't run up the flag for seconds.

Returning from a ski trip to Steamboat, the bus stopped at one in Denver. There was a waterfall I was seated next too and a mariachi band. The waterfall was so loud table conversation was a screaming match and the mariachi band was irritating in that they wouldn't stop playing or go to another part of the restaurant. Sopapillas were good though . . .
Used to be a good time. The food was usually TV-dinner quality, maybe just a bit better. But the last time we went, the server had all the personality of a wadded up paper towel... and the food had really declined...
Shame about Crystal's. That was another good spot.
I grew up in the Nathan Hale District when I was younger. Casa Bonita, Sears and the Fairgrounds were my stomping grounds.
that bear scared me when I was little

....and now please direct your attention to the field and J. Clayton Feaver will lead us in a moment of prayer...

Enjoy
Casa Bonitas was the dinner of choice after our little elementary school took its field trip to Bells Amusement park.
What's sad is that the all three establishments including my school are now closed.
Casa Bonita in OKC was cool in the late 80s. I miss it. Never ate at the one in Tulsa, wife said it was gross.
Here lies Lester Moor
4 slugs from a .44
No Lester no more
That's no moon...
Every "person" over the age of two must purchase a meal. Wow.
When we were little no trip to Tulsa was complete without eating at Casa Bonita. When I moved back from Florida I took my daughters there. They both got sick that night.
Ahhhh nostalgia.
