Casa Bonita gives a behind-the-scenes look inside restaurant
The Lakewood Mexican restaurant located at 6715 W. Colfax Ave. shared the gifs in its newsletter
We still don’t know exactly when Casa Bonita will officially reopen, but fans are finally getting a sneak peek inside.
On Friday, the Lakewood Mexican restaurant known for its cliff divers, roaming mariachi bands and sopapillas released five gifs in its newsletter showing behind-the-scenes preparation for its grand reopening.
The gifs showed staff members painting a tree and a window inside the restaurant, and also polishing a plaque.
A sixth gif uploaded to Casa Bonita’s Giphy account, but not included in the newsletter, shows a worker adjusting a chandelier.
On Monday, Casa Bonita shared another gif via their newsletter of workers installing a window inside the restaurant.
Casa Bonita, located at 6715 W. Colfax Ave., shut down during the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020 and was sold to South Park creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker in September 2021 for $3.1 million.
The restaurant announced in December it would reopen in May, but as of yet has not publicly released its official opening date. A worker at a neighboring business said there’s so much secrecy surrounding the Casa Bonita reopening, it’s like working next door to the CIA.
