Zona Vip

Glad I found this gem in the rain. The restaurant is heavily decorated with Colombian decorations and the main server (only front of house worker) was bilingual. He was taking phone calls, to go orders, bagging up carry out and serving tables and never missed a beat! Overall great service and efficient worker! The restaurant itself is simple with plenty of seating for 4 with the options to combine tables to make room for a bigger party. Now the best part, the food was delicious! Just like how my Colombian friends family makes it. Prices are affordable and portions are plenty. Got passion fruit juice which is my favorite when I go to Latin countries and it was perfect with ice chunks so it stays cold the whole time instead of melting right away and watering down the juice. Highly recommend if you want a true taste of South America!

The best experience ever, delicious authentic food and the BEST service. We are a group of recruiters who did a small hiring event there and the owner was more than eager to help us organize this event. He greeted us at the entrance and was attentive the whole time we where there. The food was so good and portions were very good. Their natural juices, empanadas and bandeja paisa are the best I have ever had. I will most definitely be recommending this restaurant to all my friends and family.

This place is my go-to when I am missing the comfort foods of my childhood. The Colombian food at this restaurant is as authentic as you can hope for—especially in this area! One bite of their bandeja paisa transports you into the mountains of Antioquia with its inviting flavors, and the natural fruit juices reminds you of the biodiversity of the country. The food is always on point, no matter what you choose. There’s enough variety in the menu to sample diverse regional dishes. If you’re in the mood for a hearty soup, I recommend trying the ajiaco. But, if you want a sampler of meats, definitely go with bandeja paisa—it’s recognized as the national dish. (And choose the morcilla—it’s delicious and extremely hard to find outside of Colombia!) The servers are always very friendly and attentive. The food isn’t served very fast—but good, fresh food takes time to make, and you will definitely get great food when it finally arrives. If you’re extra hungry, order some empanadas for an appetizer while you wait. The atmosphere is… alright. The music played is primarily salsa (oldies but goodies). The décor is a bit dated, plain, and humble. But, what it lacks in décor, it makes up for in food taste. And you’re really coming for the food!

So we tried a new place and are in love with their food. The VIP burger is one of the best burgers I've had in Cincinnati. The soup was fantastic, empanadas top notch and can't wait to have their lemonade again. Great staff, fabulous food! ❤️ #cincyphotographer #columbianfood #cincyfoodie #lunaprojectart
