Trivia / South Park S 7 E 11 Casa Bonita

• Author Appeal: Matt and Trey both fondly recalled visiting the Lakewood location of Casa Bonita for their birthdays growing up, and were thrilled that the restaurant gave them clearance to essentially make this episode as a love letter to the place.
• Tourist Bump: The real life Casa Bonita restaurant keeps track of whenever the episode airs to prepare themselves for the increase in business that usually occurs afterwards. Matt and Trey would eventually purchase Casa Bonita to prevent it from shutting down.
