This is one of those places that you may not have realized the city was missing, but now that it's here we see what we have been deprived of for all these years. Was that too dramatic? Come try the Cuban and then tell me what you think. Pro tip: ask for a side of their habanero sauce and dash that on your Cuban or one of the arepas and thank me later. The folks here are friendly and have a chill, welcoming pep in their step. They were around enough to make us feel valued but away enough to allow us to enjoy our meal and conversation. The space is bright and airy with lots of windows for a very Miami-meets-South-Texas vibe. No notes. This place is great and we always look forward to coming back and trying another thing on the menu. read more

This is our second visit here I've hear for the second time because they have Chicharrones that are actually great something I really miss from Miami. From the second you walk in, you're always greeted very nice. I know that there's two brothers that work here always super friendly. It feels like you're walking into a family home. Ordered: A Sangria, chicharron with yuca fries and the incredible cilantro sauce. A frita Cubana A 305 Arepa and a side salad. It's a cool ambiance open concept will definitely return! Nice little gem! Please vis you won't regret it! read more

This is a nice solid place to visit that's near the airport. There's a front and back patio as well as plenty of indoor seating. You order at the counter, take a number, and they bring out the food to you. I Ordered the Brazilian steak & guava and goat cheese cheesesteak. The steak was cooked perfectly medium rare. It had a little chewy fat caps on the end, but not a big deal. I really liked their yucca fries and the salad that it came with. Both were very flavorful. The cheesecake was different. It had a mild goat cheese flavor. The cheesecake itself was nice and fluffy. Overall, would definitely recommend this place for a casual lunch or dinner. read more

Great food - loved the Cuban! Friendly staff and nice atmosphere. Plenty of vegetarian options for wife.

Bilia Eatery in Castle Hills continues to live up to the hype! My recent visit absolutely confirmed it. The yucca fries were AMAZING perfectly crispy on the outside, soft and fluffy on the inside, and seasoned just right. Easily one of the best sides on the menu. I ordered the Havana Bowl with avocado and shredded chicken, and it was packed with flavor. Everything tasted fresh, balanced, and satisfying without feeling heavy. We also tried the La Guerita Arepa, and let me just say... one is definitely MORE than enough! We actually ordered two because we weren't sure if one would fill us up but they pack it with such a generous amount of filling that one would have done the job. It's hearty, satisfying, and full of flavor. And don't forget to try their house-made guava limeade !! it's the perfect refreshing finish! The atmosphere is casual and welcoming, making it a great spot whether you're grabbing lunch or meeting up with friends. Definitely a place I'll keep coming back to! read more

Bilia Eatery - Cuban Sandwich with the hot sauce and crema. An iced vanilla latte. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Castle Hills, Texas

Bilia Eatery continues to be a favorite. I brought my husband after a Sunday dog walk at Hardberger Park, and it was the perfect stop. There were only a couple of people inside when we arrived, so we had our pick of the best seats. I love the natural light throughout the space, and the service was genuinely welcoming--we were greeted right away and checked on a few times, which you don't usually expect at a counter-order spot. The wall covered in photos and family ephemera gives the restaurant a homey feel while still feeling fresh and modern. Food-wise, everything hit: the Havana bowl and the AM Frita Cubana were excellent. The fried egg was perfection, and the rice was incredibly flavorful. Just a consistently great experience all around--can't wait to come back. read more

10/10 restaurant all around. Clean lively atmosphere, flavorful food & friendly employees! I have been coming to bilia for about 2 years now and in the past my absolute favorite was the Pernil Arepa- highly recommend but then i found out about the havana bowl and have been coming now solely for this! The beef is shredded and so juicy, the beans are flavorful and it's just a perfect combo with the pico and cilantro sauce as well(pro tip ask for extra cilantro sauce, it is extra but so worth it) and of course wouldn't be a stop at bilia if you don't get an order of their mariquitas and fresh guac. I cannot stress enough how much i truly love this place, one of my top 3's to recommend. If you haven't tried this place, please do your tastebuds a favor and check it out read more

Visited for the first time after hearing so many great reviews. The space is a decent size and a bit outdated, but it has a comfortable, cozy feel that I actually liked. The service was excellent--the owners were there and were very friendly and welcoming. The burgers were really good--fresh and tasty, though they could've used a little more seasoning. That said, you can't beat the price for the quality. We also ordered a hot dog for the kids, which isn't listed on the kids' menu (it's on the regular menu instead). It would be great to see it added to the kids' menu since hot dogs are such a kid favorite. Overall, we had a great experience and would definitely come back again. read more

Ordered take-out for a company lunch. I got the Lomo Saltado (stir fry sirloin w/ soy sauce, red onions, tomato, french fries, cilantro, and a side of white rice). There were some tender chunks of meat, but some were a little tough to chew. The dish is pretty salty (more than I would like). Reminded me of the Vietnamese dish, "Shaken Beef" (minus the fries). They offer a variety of Cuban style sandwiches (tuna, chicken, turkey, steak), plates, coffee, & soft drinks. Two desserts options: goat cheese & guava cheesecake or cuatro leches Even though it was extremely busy during lunch, wait time was short and they served everyone quickly. Might consider a different item next time, but for now my Lomo Saltado was okay. The fries got soggy quick (especially in the to-go container). read more

I like to consider myself a tough, honest reviewer. My wife and I literally ate at this joint weeks ago. Since then, I've been racking my brain to try and find something... Because I don't easily give five stars. I've been twice now: ate the Cuban sandwich... The Frita Cubana... And was lucky enough to have their loaded fries special. This. Place. Is. Legit. Great, flavorful food, good service, fun, unique atmosphere with eclectic decor...spot on pricing ...I literally find no issues. I will say, it's not what I consider a romantic spot, but if you're in the mood for a great lunch atmosphere...do yourself a favor and try Bilia. You won't be disappointed. It's definitely on my "wouldn't mind going back to" - list. Bravo! Felicidades! read more

Tried to call ahead to save time but the number on Apple Maps, Google, and on their website is not in service/unavailable. So came in and placed in order ToGo. First time ever and got 2 Cuban sandwiches and a side of fries for myself and a coworker. Took nearly 20 minutes and cost $30 big ones!! I didn't even get any drinks. Otherwise, friendly service and very specious bright and colorful restaurant, felt like a good blend of traditional and modern. Lots of outdoor seating. And the lady at the register said they have brunch EVERY day! I believe I saw a cocktail menu and a coffee grinder! I'd be lying if I said I wasn't coming back. The sandwiches were delicious albeit on the smaller side. And those fries were fresh made! No dipping sauce though just ketchup packets. read more

The resturaunt is beautifully decorated, giving a Cuban/ Miami vibe. The staff are very nice, and welcoming. I ordered the appetizer chicharron con yucca... could not sing their praises loud enough, it was so delicious. I've had their Cuban sandwich before and loved it, and today opted for it me of their breakfast plates on their brunch menu also incredible. Perfect for a little lunch get together with friends or alone, this place has great food and you'll leave here full and happy. read more

I can't believe I lived so close to this place (8 years) and only heard of it today. Such a cute little restaurant with great spirit and vibe. Bilia's is literally fantastic - great food & service and they had Mexican Coca Cola which is great for me too! This place is a real gem and I will be back. read more

Bilia is by far one is my favorite eateries to frequent! From the open floor plan, to the beautiful, bright and colorful photo gallery on the wall, to the very tropical themed tables and decor. Every time I go there, the ambience and service are both excellent. Their chicken soup is absolutely amazing, I could eat it in the middle of August and feel totally fine about it. The arepas are all delicious, I have yet to have one. I didn't like. Their Cuban sandwich is also amazing! The last time I went, I also tried the coffee and the guava cheesecake and it blew my mind! You literally don't need to add a single thing to the coffee, the flavor is perfect as it is! I don't remember the last time I came here and it wasn't packed. I always look forward to grabbing some lunch here, keep in mind it is very filling! read more

I like this spot, I've only been here one time before and grabbed a guava lemonade and maduros, which are so freaking good. They are never greasy and not too soft and well, who doesn't like guava? I'm sure a lot of people don't, but I lived in an island so pffftttt whatever. Anyway, I ordered Yucca fries, maduros and 2 Arepas. All of it was amazing, I had to order 2 more to go. The weird thing was I sat down back after ordering and the gentleman at the counter came over to me and said, my co-worker advised me you have celiac so one of the arepas you ordered has gluten. I'm like how does someone know I have celiac. I advised it wasn't for me but that was weird because I never mentioned it. read more

Nice little hole in the wall that serves delicious, fresh food, and drinks. Our friends have been having about this spot and we finally had to visit with them. For a Friday night, it wasn't super busy, but we did go in an hour before closing time at 8 pm. I ordered their sangria and steak with chimichurri as my entree. Our friends ordered empanadas to munch on as appetizers. The empanadas were hot, with ample amounts of meat inside. Very delicious! Steak came out perfect with yucca fries and salad. Everything was cooked to perfection. Next time I would like to come back to try their sandwiches. read more

Delicious, fresh, traditional Latin fare is at its best at Bilia! I knew we were in for a treat when I bit into the generous Cuban Sandwich, and the bread and butter pickles (in lieu of dill) added savory and sweet flavors to the perfectly seasoned meats. The Havana Bowl with Peruvian chicken was a wonderful mix of jasmine rice, avocado, fried plantains and black beans topped with perfectly cooked chicken. The staff was helpful with recommendations, and the charming space was immaculate. I highly recommend... cheers! read more

Excited to retry the food at Bilia after my first visit through a yelp event. I brought my whole family from out of town and we came for lunch on Sunday. The parking lot was full and there was a bit of a line but not so bad. We ordered our food and went off to wait. Food is prepared to order so be prepared to wait. As items get finished, they get brought out. Makes for a weird eating experience as some are eating and others still waiting. My favorite item is the 305 arepa. It might look small but it's packed with rice, beans, plantains and a generous amount of meat. Such good flavoring. My brother really enjoyed his Havana bowl and ate everything plated. My parents got the lomo saltado and the chimichurri steak which they enjoyed. The steak needed a bit more salt but otherwise was fine. They definitely loved the arepas way more and ordered 2 to go. Note: take out or to go containers are not offered. Overall, we had a great visit and it looks like the kitchen is still figuring out a system to get orders out. Hope they can continue to grow and expand. read more

My book club met at Bilia Eatery today, and we had such a great experience. We were a pretty big group, but Santiago took amazing care of us. He was so kind, patient, and on top of everything -- truly made us feel welcome. The food was awesome. The arepas were perfectly crisp and flavorful, and the loaded fries were a huge hit -- we ended up ordering extras because they disappeared so fast. And the sangria? Totally refreshing and just what we needed on a warm July day. The space is super cute and colorful, with a great vibe for a group hangout. We really appreciated how accommodating the team was. Huge thanks to Santiago and everyone at Bilia for making it such a fun and memorable outing. We'll definitely be back!! read more

This place serves up delicious food with an easygoing casual ambiance. Highly recommend the Bilia Salad with added protein of your choice. My lunch partners were equally impressed with the Cuban sandwiches and Bilia Burgers! We'll be back to try all the things! read more

This is one of the MOST underrated spots in all of San Antonio and I do not say that lightly. I feel like I barely ever see anyone talking about Bilia but in my opinion, they should be! I've been to Bilia several times and I have never had a single disappointing meal. From the barbacoa melt to the arepas, the menu is packed with wonderful Cuban and Latin flavors! The staff is always friendly and the food is always delivered with care and in a timely manner. Just a cherry on top of what was already a wonderful sundae but the restaurant is just absolutely gorgeous aesthetically as well!! I just truly can't recommend this place enough! read more

Good food, tasty arepas, but the service and ambiance seems to be an after thought. They seem to be surprised that we're not ordering take out. With time I think they'll work this out but I don't think they have that long. read more

Very cute newer Latin American food place in Castle Hills. I had the Cuban sandwich with fries. It was excellent. Really good fries!!!! Would love to see a little bigger menu but maybe that is coming. My only issue is how long it took to get the food out. I did not get an apology or explanation. But if this is the norm it's definitely something to work on. read more

Bilia Eatery is a true San Antonio gem and one of my favorite lunch spots in the city! This amazing restaurant specializes in a wide variety of breakfast and lunch dishes inspired by wide variety of latin american countries. Everything is fresh and made to order, and they also have seasonal dishes that are a must! I think their best seller and my favorite dish is their cuban sandwich. It is absolutely delicious and cooked to perfection! If you are not in the mood of a sandwich then I recommend their steak salad. It is the best steak salad you can find in the city and the flavors of the meat they use are insane! If you are planning to visit them during a weekday try to get here before or after the lunch rush. They do tend to get pretty busy, but they do their best to get all dishes out as quickly as possible. They also have plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, which I am sure will be pretty nice in the fall. Overall, this place is 10/10 in my book and I hope everyone gives them a chance! read more

This spot has quickly become one of my go-tos. The arepas are super flavorful and packed with fillings, the burgers are juicy and well-seasoned, and the chicharrón is crispy and full of flavor--perfectly done every time. One thing to keep an eye out for is the frozen Brazilian limeade. It's not always on the menu, but when it is, definitely get it. Refreshing, tangy, and not too sweet--it's the perfect drink to pair with the heavier dishes. Great food, casual vibe, and solid flavors all around. Highly recommend! read more

Bilia Eatery - Bilia Burger and Chicharron - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Castle Hills, Texas

Had the cubano for at least the fourth time. It was ok but so little mustard could hardly taste it. Asked for a little extra and was charged $0.81 (eighty one cents) for what weighed out to 1.5 oz. of mustard - probably enough for at least 2 sandwiches or more given the amount on the sandwich delivered to the table). Coupled with the flimsy small water cup (plastic but felt like the 4 oz. paper code cups often found on water coolers), very disappointed. read more

From the moment we walked in the door, we felt like family. Andrew greeted us with a big smile, a warm hello and welcome, and handed us menus. I'm NOT a fan or counter ordering but this didn't feel bad like it usually does. Andrew took our order with a smile and even opened our beers for us. Then gave us water cups which might not seem like a big deal BUT there were several water cups near the soda machine for use... so lovely! Andrew stopped by our table to check on the food and service. We shared a Cuban sandwich and had a side of sweet plantains... the food stayed hot from start to finish and let me say - FLIPPING FANTASTIC!!! Every bit was a. Ew discovery of yumminess... perfection! When Andrew came back the last time to our table again, I tried to give him a little extra tip which he initially refused but I insisted. He then said he would share with the team - it was a modest amount yet he still wanted to share with the team!!! How amazing is that?!? So I gave him more to share. It was then he told us he was a thank you manager and explained about the restaurant owners (he said they worked right along side the staff) and how the business came about! RUN... don't walk - go eat at Bilia!!!! 100 out of 100. You will be over the moon pleased! I'll be back again during my 2 week stay in the area. read more

A fun experience at Bilia!
