Bitelo Brazilian Steakhouse is run by Jesus and Illiana Salazar. What Now San Antonio briefly spoke with Jesus, who, as you can imagine, was quite busy. What Now SA attempted to chat with Illiana, but wasn’t able to get more details for our readers on this opening before this article’s publication.
