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.

A fun experience at Bilia! Service was a bit slow and sandwich wasn't really warm when served, but aside from that, food was excellent and staff was keenly ready to offer recommendations and make modifications. Got the turkey sandwich and sides of maduros and a salad. Got my Cuban-casual cuisine fix for sure

A little cute restaurant I suggest you try. The staff were friendly and helpful as it was our first time. You order at the counter and your food is brought out to your table. I wanted to try their Cuban coffee but they were out, however their house coffee was amazing and has a self refill station. They serve breakfast and lunch items all day. I would recommend the plantain chips as well as the brunch sandwich. Kids were able to share a pancake plate. You don't have to pick up plates when you're done. They have highchairs and a changing table available. The place was clean and has cute decor. I look forward to going back and trying more!

The Argentina sandwich is amazing: premium ingredients like ribeye, avocado, pesto, tomato, ham and cheese make for a perfect hot panini. Interior is art deco revival, just like much of Miami. Love it! Parking is conveniently in front. I'll be back to try everything!

I've been to Bilia twice now, and it's quickly becoming a favorite! We walked in on a Saturday noon for brunch, and it was really easy to find an empty table. It did quickly get filled up as the afternoon came along - apparently we got in at a good time! They had lomo saltado and a guava limeaid as their specials on the day. Our table got those, plus a Frita Cubana and the Peruvian Grilled Chicken! I've tried the Frita Cubana on my first visit and recommended it to my friend who really liked it. The Peruvian Chicken I ordered for myself was a little salty at first, but it mellowed out as I tasted all of the components of the dish! The chicken was succulent and well cooked, and the sauce was delicious. My friend ordered the lomo saltado - which was also a little salty at first, but overall Bilia has great food that comes in large servings for decent prices. The cute decor, especially with glass walls in the back area is a plus!

Had heard many great comments and recommendations...couldn't wait to try it. The Cuban sandwich was the best one I've ever had. However several items on the menu are so intriguing that I can't wait to come back and try all of them! Great staff, plenty of room for seating!

This Cuban-inspired spot was decent but leaned more upscale and fusion than authentic Cuban flavors. I had the frita with fries, and my partner had the Cuban sandwich--both were fine but not quite what I expect from true Cuban food. It was a bit pricey for what it is, but the cute location and good service stood out. I'd return eventually, but it's not a priority.

I am embarrassed at how long it took me to try Bilia, seeing as how I live so close. It is such a cute place, modern with accents of traditional Mexican decor. It reminds me of one the quaint little brunch places in Mexico City. Walk in to place an order at the counter, the guy there was super nice and helpful with answering questions I had about the menu. There are laminated menus there for you to grab and study if you need to. I went with the barbacoa grilled cheese which comes with a side of fries. My husband ordered the Peruvian chicken. We went outside to grab a table since it was such a nice day. It didn't take long before someone was out with our food. First off, that barbacoa grilled cheese STILL haunts my dreams weeks later! It was so flavorful without being overwhelming. I ate slowly because I didn't want it to end. The fries were excellent too. I just got the regular ones, not the yucca. I've noticed that in other restaurants, when fries come as a side, they're kind of phoned in and taste a bit bland or plain. These were seasoned with, I don't know what, but they were so good! There was not a single crumb left on my plate. My husband really enjoyed his Peruvian grilled chicken as well. Though I can't even speak for it because we were both so immersed in our own meals that we didn't get to taste each other's dishes as we usually do. It looked amazing and fresh! We will definitely return!!

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!

Really cute cafe! The staff were very friendly. I told them I was limited on time and they steered me towards the Havana bowl. I got it with beef and when I took my first bite, I closed my eyes with pleasure. The rice, beans, and maduros were all a little firmer than what I'm used to, but the flavor was so good. The cilantro garlic sauce is out of this world, and I didn't even like cilantro. I can't wait to come back when I have more time to get some arepas. For parents - there's high chairs, a changing station, and outdoor seating.
