Killa Dillas

I wanted to wait until I’d been to this restaurant more than once to write a review. Today was my third time here and I can finally confirm that this place is consistently great! I get the same order every time and have not been disappointed ever. The portions are great and so are the prices. This place is a hidden gem in Lakeside and I highly recommend trying it. The Tatanka is my go to. You won’t regret giving this place a try!

Unique, delicious quesadillas in Lakeside with very friendly owners! We ordered the Wina Wina Chicken Dilla, the Casa Dilla, and chips & queso. Everything was very fresh. Quesadillas had a unique and tasty spice blend sprinkled on top. Highly recommend stopping here to eat!

Amazing food and super kind staff! Got the Special of the Month: the Fiesta, it was so good with the corn salsa and shredded chicken. Also got the fresh limeade and lemonade, which was another 10/10. Can’t wait to come back and explore the menu even more.

After one of the most brutal days I found this little gem. The customer service was excellent with a staff who is passionate about what they do. The food was great and freshly made with quality ingredients. Something unique is that they have special quesadillas for each month which is cool. I ordered the Smokey Dilla along with a side of chips and queso. I would highly recommend along with the Limeade to drink which is freshly squeezed.

Winna, Winna, Chicken...Dilla!? That’s what I said when I first stepped into the neighborhood restaurant called, Killa Dillas. Tucked away in Lakeside, VA, they’re a few doors down from Final Gravity Brewing Company. As soon as we entered, we could see people casually waiting for their food, or already enjoying it quietly. Some upbeat music from the 1980s came through over the speakers, and the overall feel was welcoming and cozy. The music matched the theme of the decor - all from the 80s, a true Gen X paradise. When the patron in front of us was finished, the owner greeted us warmly with menus at the counter. He waved to the menu behind him gently, showing off his cheese-filled creations, each one more interesting than the last. My husband decided on the Smokey the Dilla, while I went with their most popular quesadilla, Winna Winna Chicken Dilla. As soon as we ordered, we noticed that the other owner was knee deep in preparing quesadillas, each to order. After what felt like a shorter wait, our meals were ready, and were served to us. Our eyes feasted on these freshly made quesadillas! Winna Winna Chicken Dilla features juicy white meat chicken, pickled jalapenos, queso blanco, and caramelized onions. Pico de gallo and sour cream (two condiments I love on my quesadilla!) came on the side. This plate was colorful! The perfect touch was the steakhouse seasoning on top of the quesadilla - it was magical flavor dust. The salt and spices played off the creamy queso blanco for a taste explosion! Smokey the Dilla, named after our forest’s protector, is stuffed with flavorful pork carnitas, cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, and caramelized onions. Mesquite seasoning sets off the flavors of the pork beautifully, and it’s accompanied by a side of robust smoky hickory sauce. Now, both quesadillas delivered heartily on their promise of a crispy, crunchy tortilla shell, with ooey gooey cheese - a truly tempting delight! As we were enjoying our quesadillas, we noticed the owner running an order from the front door to the brewing company down the street - Final Gravity. What a fantastic idea! We’ll be sure to take advantage of this partnership soon. Killa Dillas does offer a monthly special - for September, it’s a Verda Dilla. This fresh quesadilla features pulled chicken, pickled jalapenos, sazon (a fun, flavorful spice blend), and queso blanco. It’s accompanied by a side of salsa verde (of course!) and sour cream. We definitely missed out on the freshly squeezed lemonade, as we discovered on the way out. The owner made excellent recommendations to return for that lemonade, and its cousin, the freshly squeezed limeade - perfect for the nachos and quesadillas they proudly serve! UPDATE: We did it. We went back for more, and we were so pleased. My husband and I have returned a few times now. Each and every time, we are greeted like old friends by the staff. It’s great how they want to tell us how the business is going, and how people are enjoying the food and kid-friendly environment. We tried the famous fresh-squeezed limeade and lemonade, and they truly lived up to their names. These drinks were hand crafted to order, with a pump of this and a spritz of that (I'll never tell you their secret recipe). These were vibrant, flavorful, citrus-forward sweet drinks. They were such a great addition to our meal. We also tried the chips and queso, which really hit the spot. The chips are delicate, and not greasy at all. The queso, oh, the ooey-gooey queso was a cheesy dream with a spicy attitude. All these ingredients are so fresh, and you can see that they run out of chips all the time. My husband has tried the Cha-Cha Dilla, which is a honey-mustard Cuban sandwich-inspired quesadilla. He ate every bite before I could try any! They do offer monthly specials, so be sure to check out their Facebook page for more. We can’t wait to go back again. We love the comfort food, we love the fresh flavors, and we especially love the company. Edited: for a typo, species for spices

This place is amazing. We’re so lucky to have it in our corner of town! The food is always top notch. We love the Tatanka, it scratches the buffalo chicken wrap itch and then some. Also highly recommend the smoky and the villa dillas! Tonight we tried Nachos for the first time, Nacho responsibility, and I had eaten half the tray before I even realized. It’s that good! We also love that they have a kids menu. We can always count on our toddler to actually finish her dinner here! And the folks running the place are the best. You can tell they care a lot about what they do and the people they serve! You might have to wait a bit when they’re busy, but it’s always worth it.

I stumbled upon this place on a whim when I was craving a quesadilla and this placed popped up. When I tell you how happy I was to find it, I couldn't get home fast enough to open the box. First off, the dining area is super cute and inviting. They have all this great 80s memorabillia and these big beautiful plants. It just made me want to sit down and stay awhile. My daughter and I were chatting it up with the owners, and they were so friendly and fun to talk to. Now... The best part.. the 'Dillas. They all have cute names and I was happy to hear they had vegan options or could make some vegan with swapping ingredients. We both got the winna winna chicken dilla. I just like saying that lol. It was delicious. Another plus, the owner mentioned they reuse grocery bags for sustainability and I loved hearing that. I even offered to bring some bags from home to donate next time I come. Oh yes, I will be going back for sure. I also have to mention the freshly squeezed limeade & lemonade was delicious too. The one and only thing that's missing is a side like Spanish rice or fries. That would compliment it perfectly. Great food- excellent customer service.

Delicious. I ordered the Jamaica Me a Dilla and it was excellent. Wonderfully seasoned and pleasantly spicy. I will definitely come back to try more menu items!
