Step inside this incredible shop, and take in a blend of traditional grocery store, outdoor market vibe, and carniceria. A carniceria is a butcher shop and Lila’s has a dedicated section filled with fresh meats, baked goods, dairy, a variety of pantry staples, and unique spices. Many brands they carry are imported and not found in other local markets. Browse through the aisles slowly, and take in all the rhythmic sights and sounds. Enjoy friendly conversations in both English and Spanish, the soft Latino background music, and the sizzling fare that is cooking in the kitchen. And, the decor, wow! It’s simple, yet with the artistic splashes of Mexican culture woven throughout, you’ll feel like you have been transported right into Mexico. Brightly colored walls, festive artwork, gracious displays, and friendly smiles welcome you with open arms.
Lila’s is much more than a grocery store, it’s also a destination for mouthwatering prepared foods, uniquely Mexican. You have to try the star of the show, their tacos! Authentic, flavorful, and generously stuffed with everything from juicy carne asada to tender al pastor. And the tortillas are homemade every day. They are worth your visit; soft, warm, and perfect. If you are really hungry, or want to share and sample new dishes with one another, their burritos are bursting with flavor and the crowd-pleasing tamales are loaded with rich, savory, and freshly prepared fillings. Top any dish with the freshest salsas and guacamole, perfect for dipping or topping to your heart’s desire. We recommend pairing your take-out meal with their aquas frescas, a refreshing fruity beverage that will tempt your taste buds. The options are endless as your appetite.
