Javier is a good guy and a hard worker. As far as I know he's not sure what he's going to do next yet but I wish him best of luck. And if I were the Creperie I'd stay right there on Court St. I heard about this a last week and it was sad news to me. Javier is a good guy and a hard worker.

I'm sad to see Javier's go. I stopped in on a weekday off (a holiday) and had the BEST FISH BURRITO ever, along with one of those awesome margaritas. I’m sad to see Javier’s go.

The place always seemed to be hectic, and as you mentioned, the dinner hours never really happened so I wonder if poor management was to blame. In any case, downtown Cincinnati needs a new casual Mexican eatery (or two) to open up soon. And no, Chipotle doesn't count, and Nada is in a different category. .-= Randy A.

We were planning to go for dinner one Friday (!!) night, but I called to ensure they were open. They were there and answered the phone, but they weren't quite sure they would be open for dinner. Wha? Huh? How does a restaurant not know if they'd be open for dinner at dinner time? (I called around 7pm on a Friday night.) Not exactly the path to long-term success for a restaurant.
