Trey Parker talks about The Cure's visit to Casa Bonita

From Westwood:

The Cure visited Casa Bonita while on tour in 2023:

 The South Park creators had kept in contact with singer Robert Smith after The Cure frontman famously appeared in the last episode of the show’s first season to defeat Mecha-Streisand (go watch it), and Parker invited the band to Casa Bonita when the Cure was in Denver on tour last June. The musicians showed up in black SUVs, and after he saw Casa Bonita, Smith told Parker, “Wow, this is mental” -- he thought they were “just having tacos." Another surprise: The band didn't know that the restaurant's Day of the Dead amusement featured its song “The Blood” (with the proper licensing, of course). When Parker showed it to Smith, he responded with this: “That’s the greatest thing I’ve ever seen.”
