We ate there a few years back after the fire. Meh at best.

I swear they were heating up Patio dinners and putting them on plates.

Here's info on their closure:

Linky

Casa Bonita, the iconic Mexican-style restaurant at 21st Street and Sheridan Road, has closed, according to a sign posted outside.


The restaurant never reopened after this month's snowstorms and appears to be permanently out of business.

"We thank you - For your years of visiting and (dining) with us," the sign reads. "We are sorry to say that we are closed for business."

We still have ours in Denver...thankfully the kids are too old to want to go there anymore.

If they were still open....I would get a TO GO dinner and feed it to a small animal. If it was still alive the next day....I might give it a try.

It'd be dead before you got back to check on it. The last time I ate there was for a youth football party, and about 80% of the group got sick within 24 hours. Every time I've gone, I've vowed it to be my last time....but I always get talked into going back. The sopapillas are good though.

I had a tradition of eating at Casa Bonita after every swim meet in Tulsa.

I loved it when I was a kid.

If a small bear cub can tolerate it....it still might not be edible. They eat anything so I'd be cautious.

I loved it when I was a kid.

My youngest son would answer "Casa Bonita" anytime he was asked "where do you want to eat?" from about age 3 to age 10. I think when I was growing up, we went to Tulsa twice and ate at Casa Bonita. I thought it was the best place in the world, but I have no memories of their food.

In OKC, we had Ponchos. It didn't offer the same atmosphere, but offered the same "raise the flag and we'll keep bringing **** to you" deal.

I loved it when I was a kid as well. Especially the sopapias with honey.

Now it would be better to buy a frozen Mexican TV dinner.
