I hope this inspires more people to visit. I grew up in Lakewood so I spent nearly every birthday at Casa Bonita since I could walk. I almost worked there but took another job instead. Another friend got to be the good cowboy. I still get chills remembering black bart rushing by me on the stairs and saying ''outta my way, kid'' It is a really weird and special place. I will offer some advice to people planning on visiting the house beautiful: bring some kids. In the same way we wouldn't want to change the atmosphere of our favorite tiki joint, at its core Casa Bonita is a kids resturant. Maybe I'm just protective but I can't picture myself eating there without a wee one to help explore the cave or hit the pinata. It will make it 1000 times more fun. gabbahey [ Edited by: gabbahey 2011-09-03 18:14 ]
