Ripple - Lowell

Really terrible Mexican food. I'd rather eat day old Taco Bell. This was by far and away the worst food I've ever eaten and actually paid for.

This was absolutely the most fun experience. The food is amazing and their dessert was like having a mouthgasm! The staff are friendly, prices reasonable, and drinks are also fun! Will absolutely go again!

I was excited for this place to open. Concept sounded exciting. That is where the excitement ends. First visit the food was O.K. but the decor was really lacking and furniture was very cheap and mismatched. It was not comfortable or inviting. No ambiance for such a cool building. I gave it a pass as it was new and thought there would be more improvements. There was quite a crowd due to it being new. Since visiting a couple more times over the months I have decided I won't be going back. Food is overpriced for what you get. A 13.50 medium sized burrito was dry, and unappetizing.....only thing on the plate....no garnish or side of rice or beans. Cocktails are very small and overpriced. Food is mediocre at best. Sad to say it but Ripple needs to up their game to stay in business. It was 5:30 and only one other table beside ourselves were there. The novelty has worn off and so has patronage.

My husband and I love here for our date nights! It is our first pick all the time, such good flavors and super friendly staff. All the tacos are amazing and the Mexican street fries… omg….so good!

Brought my 2 sons in on a Thursday night around 4:45. My oldest son had an appointment at 6:30pm, so I *thought* we would have plenty of time to order and eat. We were seated right away, but the amount of time we waited for water and to place a drink order was kind of ridiculous, around 15 minutes, considering the place was maybe half full. Put in an order for nachos and corn dip, plus our meals. The nachos were undercooked and rubbery, with way too much salt in some places, and none in others. Same story with the corn dip, lime juice in some places so strong that it hurt our mouths. We ended up leaving at 6:15 without ever receiving our tacos, (had ordered 2 each), to make the appointment in time. I paid the bill and wasn't offered any type of compensation, bad for business...Fast forward about 4 weeks, I thought I would give them some time to adjust and get used to things, this was June, I don't remember the exact date, but I do remember ordering 2 drinks from the pride offerings for the month. I have to echo the unwelcoming vibe at the bar, I was ignored when my drink was empty (this was about 1pm and I was the ONLY person at the bar), while the wait staff chatted it up on the kitchen end of the bar, fairly loudly with their coworker drama, very unprofessional.The ambience of the place is nice and I had high hopes, especially because of the nod to the old 5 and dime with the sign in the back, but it's not enough to compensate for the mediocre/bad quality of the food and unfriendly staff. I feel like the good reviews I've read must be from people that know the owners/staff personally and want to see them do well. Good luck, tho.
