Oooohhh ya'll are breaken my heart!! I grew up in little rock Arkansas and in the70'sand 80's that was one of the highlights of my childhood! We had 5 kids in the family so we rarely went out to eat but when we did you can bet it was no where but Casa Bonita!!!! That was so exciting for us!! Reading this artical brought back so many wonderful memories! And ya know, ive have never found any Tex mex that could hold a candleto it! In fact, the way I came across this article was by looking for a Casa bonita taco recipe....no luck. I carried on the tradition with my children and they also loved it! But at one point in their childhood casabonita closed and they became Casa viva. Im not really sure why but it was never the same after that... and eventually they closed their doors also. We would give anything if they would reopen Casablanca Bonita in this area again!! I have grandchildren to share it with!!  So many times in my life I have craved their taco's...and I get so sad when I cant get rid of the craving! Unfortunately I judge every Tex mex place with Casa Bonita and no one ever lives up to it.....
