Stopped by La Dilla Mexican Grill recently and was pleasantly surprised. The portions are generous and everything tasted fresh. I ordered a burrito plate with rice and beans, and it was easily enough for two meals. The meat was well-seasoned and tender, the rice had good flavor (not bland like a lot of places), and the beans tasted homemade. The chips and salsa were solid, and the salsa had a nice kick without being overpowering. Service was friendly and quick, and the staff made sure everything came out right. The place itself is casual and clean, nothing fancy but comfortable. Only reason I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5 is because the wait was a little longer than expected during a busy time, but the food made up for it. I'll definitely be back to try more of the menu. read more

As soon as we walked in the door we were seated. Chips and salsa were brought out right away. We were also offered guacamole, so of course we said yes. The food was delicious and with very generous portions. (Couldn't finish and needed take home containers). Dessert was awesome too! Our server Maria was so very nice and attentive. They had live acoustic music which was nice but just a bit loud. (Made it hard to hear conversation) Overall a cute little spot nestled in the plaza. I would definitely go back! read more

Went during a break during a softball tournament! It was really good! Fast service and great food!

Look, I love Mexican food. It's got the key food groups of meat, cheese, and tortilla chips. What more could anyone actually ask for? La Dilla does a fantastic job of providing all of these things. The food is great, the service was great, and it has a spacious decorated interior as well as outdoor seating. They also offer some really unique meals, such as the pineapple fajitas that are served in a pineapple. I don't even like pineapple but I have to admit that it's a cool dish. If you're in the area, I highly recommend stopping by. read more

Better than most Mexican places. $12.83 for a delicious filling meal. I WILL be back!!!! read more

I don't usually leave negative reviews not worth my time and energy, but this place was trash! I ordered Al Pastor tacos, which is an upgrade, I have never had tacos that bad and they were NOT Pastor. My tacos literally tasted like ground Italian sausage with a dash of cheap Mexican seasoning on it. read more

Taco Tuesday is great at LaDilla. We enjoy the quality of the food and the ambiance. The wait staff is attentive and friendly. We also had chips and salsa, fajitas and margsritas. The price is affordable and its all right here in Cedar Lake. Enjoy! read more

I would rate it zero if I could. I ordered a chimichanga and a quesadilla. Salsa and chips were not included, plus there was no sour cream, Pico de galore, or anything else with it. They charged me $31 for a cheese wrap and a mini chimichanga, chips and salsa was another $8 nothing included in the 'meals'. I tried this place before and thought it might have gotten better. I have no idea why there are high reviews; it is terrible and overpriced. Save your wallet and go to El Salto or something. Terrible and overpriced mush with a capital T. read more

Your restaurant is such a convenience and great food. read more

They are trying really hard! Food is very delicious and glad that there is a drive through for take out. They are often short staffed and your dinning experience is very different when the owner is not there. When owner is there to supervise the restaurant runs smoothly... read more

People were talking between the tables and met several people. Place was awesome! Great food with friendly people!! read more

The food was delicious- we met at 2:00. A slower time for the restaurant. After we were finished eating they didn't remove out dirty plates from the table. Saw at least 3 employees not doing much of anything. Would have been more enjoyable with a cleaner table. read more

Awesomeness service, food was outstanding and the 1st thing I noticed going in was a employee cleaning the front door. That means cleanliness is important!!! Great place for delicious Mexican food!!!! read more

This is hands down my favorite Mexican restaurant in the region. The staff is always pleasant and attentive, the portions are generous, and the food is excellent! read more

We had a catering order for a birthday party. When we picked up the food, the staff was helpful in putting the trays in our car. The amount of food we got seemed to be way more than the serving size description (not a bad thing)!! The food was excellent; our guests raved about it and didn't leave hungry. We will definitely use La Dilla for future parties! read more

I'm from Chicago and I moved to Cedar Lake around six years ago. I had a problem finding good Mexican food until I walked into La Dilla a month ago. I've often been wary of most mexican joints around here but I'm very happy with this business. There portions are very generous and the prices are very reasonable. The beans are creamy and actually have flavor. The salsa and sauces are flavorful and are ever so slightly spicy. The bottomless basket of chips are large and homemade from what I can tell. I was chatting with the waitress today asking a couple of questions and I found out that the cook at this particular restaurant has been with the owner for 14 years. This says it all. Do not pass this restaurant up. Go in and show some love and drop some coin. You won't be disappointed. I'm a regular now especially for there lunch specials. read more

Place was good not great. Fajitas were bland.. the pineapple ones had more flavor.. one of the waiters that works there ( looks like he has a hair helmet) parked front parking spot playing super loud music. I'd think you would want to save prime spots for your customers.. not the hair helmet. read more

I really didn't expect a lot because it's a new restaurant. But the atmosphere was fantastic and the food was really good. The service was fantastic. So I can't give it anything less than five stars. If you read my other reviews you know that I'm good at giving less than five stars. read more

food is ok, waitresses try but they are always short on help, new business so needs more time

came in here and not from the area. great food but the smell is here is awful. as soon as you walk in it's like eating in a porta potty.

Finally a Mexican restaurant with authentic great food!! Ground beef not overly salted, not bland. Burrito Swiss is excellent!! Decent prices too read more

First, the good. Parking is plentiful. The restaurant is new, so it's nice and clean, but it doesn't have the atmosphere of a Mexican restaurant. The wait staff were very pleasant and attentive and checked on our table regularly. The menu is extensive, with a smattering of beers, wine, and drinks. Portions were good sized. Prices are good. Second, the not so good. The rice and beans were barely lukewarm. I should have sent the plate back just for heating. The beef cuts they use in their dishes are not shredded, but ground, and not the texture I have ever encountered before. And none of the food was spiced as I expected. Salsa was bland, meat was bland, and beans were bland. The guacamole was good, though. If they could add some flavor to the dishes, it would be a good local spot. read more

Went to the one in Cedar Lake, Indiana. Food was good but you can smell raw sewage when you walk in the restaurant. I ask the waitress and was told it was because of the vacant business next door hadn't flush their pipes. The owner of La Dilla should call the city water/sewage department. I have heard this compliant from other customers as well. I love the food but probably will not go back there again for a while. Hope La Dilla can fix the sewage air. read more
