Where else around here can you see cliff diving while eating Mexican food other than Casa Bonita?”
and I’m still trying to recover. No, that’s not an indigestion joke about the food, sub-par as it may be. Actually, my mind was blown in a good way. As I’d been told, there’s no easy way to describe the Lakewood institution, which bills itself as “The World’s Most Exciting Restaurant” – a pronouncement that very well might be true. The multi-story, Mexican-themed behemoth includes a 30-foot-tall waterfall, cliff divers, fire jugglers, strolling mariachi bands, a pirate cave, magicians, puppet shows, skee-ball machines… you get the idea. As one of my colleagues put it, it’s like Disney had sex with Tijuana and left the goofy-looking bastard to fend for itself in a random strip mall on Colfax.
