Vegan workaround possible - Edit
The menu is really confusing and changed recently (visited in October 2024), but I just started with, "I am vegan, what's my best option?"
Read moreMy server went to the kitchen to confirm which option could be made vegan. There were two options:
1) Taco salad with veggie rajas, no dressing or cheese
Or
2) roasted corn rajas, specify vegan beans
I went with option 2 and was glad to enjoy a full meal, although a bit bland/spiceless. Still, glad to have had confirmation since neither of these are marked even vegetarian on the menu.
My server also confirmed the sopapillas used veggie shortening and could be delivered with strawberry jam instead of honey. I was skeptical but dang! They were incredible! If you ever had strawberry cream cheese toaster strudel pre-vegan days, the sopapillas have almost the identical flavor, just lighter and less gooey than the toaster strudel counterpart.
Overall, Casa Bonita is flexible to vegans, but a challenge to navigate the menu and impossible to order without substitutions.

Thank you! I'm going tonight and I had heard somewhere that the menu changed.

No more vegan options - Edit
Casa Bonita used to have 1 vegan option when I went in September 2024. The food was good, and the salsa and chips were unlimited and delicious. 4/5 before the menu change.
Read moreThey changed the menu in October 2024, and no longer have a vegan or vegetarian entree option, and the beans are no longer vegan - you will need to request that specifically.
You go to Casa Bonita for the atmosphere and the shows, not the food. Eat beforehand and don't expect an entree if you go now.

Surprised it was good! - Edit
Didn’t go for the food, but it was good! Multiple vegan options if you ask. Anything that didn’t ruin the experience was going to be okay, but this exceeded expectations.

Okay Food, Wonderful Experience - Edit
The menu basically has one entree that can be made vegan, and the included dessert is vegan; former does the trick, latter is fried and tasty. But if you’re going here, it’s to watch all the kitschy and fun performances by cliff divers/magicians, get caricatures drawn, and wander around some strange spaces.

Cons: One vegan entree
