If you've got Brazilian fare on the mind, a recent opening is need-to-know. Located at 2923 Thousand Oaks, Suite 5, in San Antonio, the fresh addition is called Zily Bites.
Serving Brazilian street food, such as sandwiches, coxinha (croquettes) and more, you'll see menu options like the chicken coxinha, the bauru sandwich (ham and cheese with oregano and tomato) and the pão de queijo (yucca cheese bread). Sides include french fries and mandioca frita (fried yucca). Finish your meal with some Brazilian espresso and chocolate truffles. (See the full menu here.)
With a 4.5-star rating out of four reviews on Yelp so far, the new addition seems to be a welcome addition to the neighborhood.
Yvette S., who reviewed the new spot on Sept. 18, wrote, "The sandwiches were all very nice. They have a good deli slicer it seems and they cut the tomatoes really jazzy as well. ... The croquettes we ordered were deep fried and filled with chicken and cheese. Had an herb kind of flavor and the Brazilian breads we ordered as a appetizer to share were made of yucca and cheese."
Caesar V. added, "This is one awesome place for a quick Brazilian bite for sure — love it! It just opened and if you're in for something new and not the typical stuff you find in San Antonio, this is it."
Intrigued? Stop in to try it for yourself. Zily Bites is open from 11 a.m.–8 p.m. on Monday-Thursday, 11 a.m.–10 p.m. on Friday and Saturday, and 10 a.m.–4 p.m. on Sunday.
