Remember the horror stories from September 16? On Mexican Independence Day, Casa Bonita first opened its reservation system...and every single slot for the next two months was gone within hours, leaving tens of thousands of people still waiting.
Casa Bonita is again opening its reservations system, and if you joined the Casa Bonita Founders' Club, you can sign up for "pre-queue" priority access at 8 a.m. on Monday, October 7. Fair warning, though: We hear that even those who beat the odds and secured reservations on September 16 subsequently found themselves in long lines outside the restaurant at 6715 West Colfax Avenue in Lakewood, waiting long past their scheduled time.
In case you're stymied yet again, take comfort in the fact that you can still snag tickets to ¡CASA BONITA MI AMOR!, the documentary about the pink eatertainment palace showing just a mile east on Colfax Avenue at the Alamo Drafthouse this week.
