Casa Bonita’s relaunch under new ownership won’t necessarily trigger a revival along the West Colfax corridor, but it could speed up one already underway and if done right, provide a model on how to both refresh and preserve an iconic tourist draw. The Mexican restaurant with real cliff divers, faux shootouts and so-so food has served as a draw for generations of families ever since it opened in 1974 in a shuttered JCPenney store in a suburban strip mall sandwiched between Kendall and Pierce streets along West Colfax Avenue. The restaurant shut its doors early in the pandemic and owner Summit Family Restaurants sought bankruptcy protection in April.
