No, just that a resturaunt owned by a couple of business school buddies "looking to take advantage of the Mexican food trend" don't quite know as much about it as someone who grew up in Mexico and learned the business from the dish room up. The quote is from Hacienda Colorado's media package by the way.
There are actually a lot of good Mexican food places in Colorado, just not a lot of great ones.
And by the way, I have taken out of state guest to Casa Bonita just to entertain their kids. If you expect bad food as part of the deal, the rest of it is interesting enough to make it worth a visit occasionally.
Burgandy.I tried...I was going to say...if I could only get past the pink suit and the Kurt Cobain facade, perhaps there is an opportunity....

Optical illusion. The white and burgandy kind of mixes together to appear pinkish in a photo. :thumbsup:You sure? I thought burgandy was darker than that....

why don't they put the meal you had at their home on the menu?

Couple of reasons, one is that it would be very hard to make in a resturaunt setting and keep the quality that it needs, takes a long time to prepare but doesn't hold well. They could never tell when a customer was going to order it giving them enough lead time so that it comes out of the oven at the right time.
Bigger reason is that it is completely different from what people here expect to see on a menu in a Mexican resturaunt. A few years back they put a number of very authentic seafood dishes on the menu, really good stuff. They didn't get enough orders for them to justify keeping the ingredients and making the effort to prepare them, they did keep a couple of them but most got dropped, not for lack of quality but simply people wouldn't even try them.
Instead they have a number of things on the menu that are what people here expect but they season and prepare them more in the style that they learned than the competitors.
Ghetto pocket shots :lol:LOL... Hell no, We use zip loc baggies to sneak in Makers Mark.... If I gotta piss I'll go to the John...

If they are willing to drive as far as Casa Bonita they should instead drive to some some food that taste good and is made by people who know how to make it. My recomendation would be Taqueria Patzcuaro on 32nd in Denver (2616 W. 32nd) Definitely much better than the overpriced gringo plates at Hacienda Colorado (founded and run by two guys named Hayes and Schmidt).
I think you're too late. They are probably on their sopapillas right about now.
BTW, my wife and I went to Hacienda Colorado a while back. Never again. The food sucked and the service was worse. We made the mistake of going a little late and the wait staff seemed more interested in hurrying us to finish so they could go home.
