¡Casa Bonita Mi Amor! is a 2024 American documentary film directed by Arthur Bradford. It is about Trey Parker and Matt Stone buying Casa Bonita, a Mexican restaurant in Colorado that was the subject of a 2003 South Park episode. Parker and Stone spend over $30 million of their own money renovating the decaying restaurant, going severely over budget.
The film premiered at the 2024 Tribeca Festival and the 51st Telluride Film Festival. It was released on September 6, 2024, in Denver, Colorado, and then in select theaters across the United States on September 13. It will premiere later on Paramount+.[1]

Peter Debruge of Variety wrote, "A hilarious behind-the-scenes account of that ill-advised investment, MTV Documentary Films' unconventional — and unexpectedly inspiring — makeover doc follows along as the pair sink millions into rescuing the crumbling landmark out of bankruptcy."[6] Christian Zilko of IndieWire gave the film a B+ and wrote, "It's a story about an ill-advised business investment that nearly becomes catastrophic, two creative moguls who apply the same perfectionism to the themed restaurant business as their media empire, and most of all, what happens when one of the world's most public cynics finds something worth believing in."[7]
Box office
As of September 15, 2024, ¡Casa Bonita Mi Amor! has made $78,881 at the box office and is showing at 17 theaters.[3][8]
