As one of the few Filipino restaurants in San Antonio, this family owned restaurant prides itself in serving authentic Filipino food at a good price. Since I've been eating here for over 10 years I can say they do just that. The food is very good. If you haven't had Filipino food I'd start out with the sampler mix plate which includes chicken and pork adobo with pancit, lumpia and rice. Another favorite of mine is Mechado, a cube beef steak stew. And don't forget an order of lumpia for an appetizer. Service is sometimes slow but always with a smile. Give it a try.
Very authentic philippines food. My family and I we're on vacation just this weekend,and my husband google searched for a filipino restaurant,and found Liliy's restaurant and deli......My son ordered daing na bangus(the fish is huge and my son made a comment that their fish is better than the one he had in the philippines),my husband and I ordered kare_kare,menudo,and kaldereta,the food was authentic, seasoning is spot on,..the price is very affordable and the atmosphere is like your at home,,

First visit--but far from my last!. I didn't know anything about Filipino food, so I didn't know what to expect from Lily's when four of us from work went there for lunch. I must say I was very happy with what I found.
The decor was very inviting, and I instantly felt relaxed. I ordered the kare-kare, which has received a number of positive reviews here. My companions ordered sinigang bangus, pork adobo with pancit, and the sampler mix.
Things got very quiet soon after the food arrived--a sure sign that everyone was enjoying the meal.
The kare-kare is completely deserving of its reputation. The peanut gravy was flavorful without being overpowering, and the vegetables (green beans, eggplant and bok choy) were the perfect combination of tender and crisp. A very balanced and delightful dish.
Everyone else at the table reported that their food was also delicious.
The only negative comment I can make is that the service is slow. It took a very long time to get our food, even though the restaurant wasn't that crowded. I also got so tired of waiting for a drink refill that I had to go get my own.
This, however, would not keep me from going back to Lily's and recommending it enthusiastically to all my friends.
As a bonus, they have several Filipino and Asian grocery items for sale at the counter.
Give it a try!
Very delicious homestyle Filipino cuisine! Awesome staff and incredibly cheap prices. Great place for Filipino food!!
A delicious stop off the freeway. Great food great service just a bit far from well anywhere. Still the food is worth the drive and I would recomend their adobo sinigang and the lunch combo's. very nice pairings at a great price. The pinoy deserts are great here halo halo and sapin sapin.
I came here with my husband to try something new, and was pleasantly surprised. I don't know much about Filipino food or what it's supposed to taste like but I do know the food was delicious and everything looked & tasted freshly prepared. the staff was extremely helpful & had great suggestions. PS you must try Halo halo (a mix between a slushy, milkshake & fruitcup but like 10X better!)
Best Filipino In San Antonio. Lily's is my favorite Filipino restaurant in San Antonio. The food is tasty, cooked to order, and the price is right. Many of the Filipino baked goods served around San Antonio are baked in the Lily's kitchen. It's a bit of a drive, however, it is worth every mile.
Good Food, Great People!. Lilly's is my life saver when I am craving something that feels homier than franchise restaurants. I eat out pretty much every day, and Lillys is my home cooked meal. The prices are really decent and the staff is very friendly
Best Dinuguang I ever had being in San Antonio for 1 year. This is my spot now
I called in my order and picked it up. This is a lovely family owned restaurant with great freshly made food. The pancit bihon was delicious and light, the lumpia rolls were so good I kicked myself for only ordering 6, smh I should have gotten the dozen 😬. The dessert was tasty and not overwhelming full of coconut flavor. Great food 🤤
Food is amazing, and the service was as well. Felt like home except not having to do the dishes after. And that being said good food isnt rushed so if your in a hurry call ahead, because they put alot of love and care in there dishes.
Wow...one man show working the tables. Very busy place. But, food was worth the long wait. Pancuit, pork and chicken adobo were excellent. Shanghai lumpia was awesome, dipping sauce was sweet and spicy. Overall Restaurant was very good, just need more staff.
This was my first visit and it was nice. The food was tasty, fresh, and timely. The host/owner was friendly and the prices were perfect. We went as a group and everyone enjoyed their dishes. I had the chicken sampler it was plenty of food.
This place has a newspaper feature for its great tasting meals, but from the outside you wouldn’t know it. We almost got lost trying to get here, the dark entry way was a bit off putting too.
I’m glad we stayed and tasted the scrumptious Crispy Pata ($14.99 now), Kare Kare, Pancit Bihon, and Longganisa. This place is owned by a kind man from Pampanga (a place in the Philippines known for their great food and world renowned recipes)
When near Sea World, take a side trip and fill your belly. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
The photos are an inside joke…you have to be there to enjoy it….ayos!
I didn't know what to expect. It's our first time there. The food is good. My wife enjoyed her plate. So did I. My 4yr ate his plate like no ones business. He had the #18A one piece. I had the #13 sweet Longaniese. It is good. My wife ate the #14 Pancita. She loved it. My eldest son had the #2 crispy Pata. He enjoyed it as well. The plate is filling. My suggestion is to call in your order before you sit to eat. I waited about 40 minutes for my plate. We were waiting on rice. I believe if we were there when it opened it would not have been a problem. They may have run out of rice when we got there because it was closing. We got there about 1:30pm. We'll be back to try other dishes.
Really great Filipino food. Friendly staff too. A must try.
Delicious little spot. The food is amazing and the service is great. Kare kare was very tastey. It was my first time eating salt shrimp amd it was unique, albeit delicious. I cant eat too much.
Comfortable family environment. Definitely a mom and pop restaurant. Service was friendly. Great selection of food and treats. Not a long wait for dishes selected. Great tasting food. Dinner was fulfilling and satisfying.
