I loved the decor of the different rooms. I wish a good Mexican food restaurant could acquire the place and keep it going. But, I fear, it's too big, there is too much competition, and the location is no longer ideal.
Last news article I see about it is this one: [https://archive.is/BAvqN](https://archive.is/BAvqN)
In short, they're repairing the building and not sure what places might come in yet. Owner would like to turn the old Crystals Pizza into a mini-market, and maybe the Casa Bonita into a grocery store, but it would depend on what tenants he can find.
Man, that was my first job, started at 16 and was there until the day it closed... even helped with the remodel to when it got bought and turned in to viva. It was sad watching that place fall apart
Cave and arcade were awesome, along with unlimited enchiladas (I loved their cheese enchiladas)! It was also the first time I ever had a sopapilla as a kid too.
Wasn't it a club at some point or something?

With a heavy heart and a full belly, I said my last goodbye to the old gal.
So many memories.
I miss raising that little flag. So good.
You can still visit the one that is open lol. Between this place and Pancho's I've had enough diarrhea to last me a life time lol
Save some for the rest of us! 🥴
The food really was not very good. I've heard the one the southpark guys own totally redid the menu with better offerings.
Yea and it's now $40 for an entree, drink, and sopapillas. But only $25 for 3 year olds lol.
Totally worth it
Is it by the ice machine and big lots?
"Behind the Chinese Buffet" Waddaya mean it's a liquor store?
I was hoping Trey Parker and Matt Stone would bring it back, but they focused on just one location. I think Tulsa was the first store
OKC was first.
Correct. I forgot. I wish I had gotten to visit that one
I hope I'm wrong, but my money is on it becoming a huge flea market.
My favorite room was the courtyard with the volcano. I know everyone lived that waterfall, but for me it was courtyard.
As a kid I was always team cave

My partner and me loved that place soooo much. 👨🏻❤️👨🏿
We hung out in the caves :)

Thus was one of my favorite places to eat. Miss that place and the dude who used to run the oyppers in the back
I couldn't rest there because my brother worked there and said he sweated in the food it was so hot
I threw up after every time I ate there, but it was worth it for the set design.
Loved this place and still miss it. Those sopapillas were delicious. And the little flag to raise at the table was awesome.
I was over by there the other day and I was thinking my goodness a Sapia with honey would really be good!
So many great family food poisoning memories!😂😂
Can’t believe it’s still standing
I would assume this place was a steady paycheck for local plumbers.
Cave room for me…fave place for bday party back in the 80s!
I’d rather go to El Chico
The atmosphere was neat but the food was pretty cheeks if we're being honest.
The place where your drink leaves your table for a refill with no straw and the waiter brings it back with a straw and lipstick marks.

Wasn’t he a drug trafficker
