The joke is if you survive the food, it's like the Mexican food Disneyland. For $15 you get an all-you-can-eat dining experience (actually, the sopapillas are great) and entertainment which is second to none: vingette performances compete with cliff-diving, a rip through Black bart's Cave, and arcade, etc. It's a Denver icon.
