Question: Where was Casa Bonita’s first location?

Answer: Founder Bill Waugh opened the first Casa Bonita in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, in 1968. Over the next six years, the Mexican “eatertainment” chain opened outposts in Tulsa, Oklahoma; Little Rock, Arkansas; Fort Worth, Texas; and, in 1974, Lakewood, Colorado—the only location still in existence.
