Documentary on Trey Parker and Matt Stone Reopening Iconic Mexican Restaurant Casa Bonita Gets Trailer and Theatrical Release
“?Casa Bonita Mi Amor!,” the documentary about “South Park” creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone reopening the iconic suburban Denver Mexican restaurant Casa Bonita, is set for a theatrical release after its Telluride Film Festival screening on Sunday.
The documentary tracks the story of the “Disneyland of Mexican restaurants,” which included a waterfall, cliff divers, puppets and haunted caves. The restaurant appeared in a 2003 episode of “South Park,” and the docu follows Parker and Stone’s efforts to preserve a crumbling piece of their childhood. Along the way, the pair run into numerous issues and question the viability of the project.
