Ripe Eatery - El Cajon

Food was delicious not a lot of options but very delicious, look at photos before ordering not everything is listed

We had not been to dine at Ripe in years since we moved from El Paso in early 2020. What a disappointment when we returned to visit stopped by for brunch. 1st, service was extremely slow. 2/ Complimentary “biscuits” — which came along with our entrees/ were cold, tiny and tasteless and took even longer than our drinks (iced teas and just water which also took extremely long! . My daughter also ordereda matcha latte which was served cold and was obviously just tea with cold oat milk thrown in… simply tasteless. 3/ The brunch entrees were just as bad…COLD roasted potatoes and eggs with ZERO seasoning (not even salt and so called “green chile chilaquiles” with no green chile??!! We suppose the unseasoned yellow peppers were their ideas of “green chile.” Overall, an almost $50 brunch was terrible and disappointing. (And no, we didn’t send our food back, because clearly, these young, untrained young ladies were frazzled already. The responsibility lies entirely with mgt ownership . Bottom line, unless this was a one off, especially after a great experience from a few years back, we DO NOT RECOMMEND it and will not be back.

We ordered the lemon basil ravioles think it is expensive due to the fact there came 4 and they are priced at 23.40

30 july 7:15 hrs. when I came in the front was completely deserted. So I sat down at 1 of the orange chairs by the hostess stand and waited ....and waited..... and waited. After 9 minutes I left. Very sad. Your service was previously exceptional. I used to eat here 4 or 5 times a week. Robert Mason El paso, TX

Harissa honey chicken sandwich is really good as well as their shoestring fries. Ripe is one of my favorite restaurants. I could literally order everything from their menu.
