Ripe Eatery - El Cajon

Came here with some friends! They had a live band but they also have a section where is more quietI had the sweet corn and shrimp risotto.

One of the first mid-range great food joints in El Paso when re-development began.

This place had yummy food that was very fresh!! The service was awesome too. We are definitely coming back.

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.

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