"La Dilla is a family hotspot for catering food for parties. Their restaurant is clean, well decorated, and staff is friendly.
The Cedar Lake location is convenient - right across from the Cedar Lake library, connected to Biggby Coffee, and right by Pop’s Italian Beef
One of my favorite foods from the La Dilla is actually their salsa - it has a nice consistency almost like a thin milkshake but also with perfect sized pieces of vegetables (and much of the vegetable pieces). The spiciness level is perfect for me (I am a spiciness lightweight), and I could see spiciness-enthusiasts wanting it to be spicier.
The steak meat for tacos and burritos has a great texture and a unique flavor - I can’t quite put my finger on what makes the steak flavor stand out from the rest, but there’s something about it.
The chicken for tacos and burritos is a sort of pulled chicken that is super moist and nicely seasoned.
The refried beans are good and the rice is good. Nothing that really stands out about them, but the texture is on point.
For the catering there is an onion/cilantro mix (I think it is) and those veggies were very fresh and flavorful.
In our catering order for our party the only thing we ran out of was the Mexican cheese, so I’m not sure if the Mexican cheese was really good and our party ate extra of it, or if the amount of cheese given is a little light compared to the ratio of how people fix their plates.
We enjoyed the tortilla chips (and made nachos the next day as leftovers). At home we usually get El Milagro tortilla chips and the La Dilla hands down beat the El Milagro chips, but my favorite regional tortilla chips are from La Gaviota just west of the railroad tracks just west of Cedar Lake high school.
I heard people at our party state they enjoyed the La Dilla food more than La Quesadilla (where we used to get Mexican catering from prior to trying La Dilla).
If you haven’t been, La Dilla is worth trying out. The pricing is competitive to other regional options and the food quality is high."
