XUNTOS, "together" in Gallego, is a Tapas Bar from Chef Sandra Cordero in the heart of Downtown Santa Monica, serving small plates of things we want you to try: from the farmer's market around the corner to traditional dishes of Galicia, Asturias, Catalunya & the Basque Country, as they're eaten in Spain.

The wines follow the food: natural, fun & unrefined–joined at the bar with Spanish twists on classic cocktails, plus vermouths, sherries & cold cervezas.

Walk in to the bar for Xuntanza from 5-7pm, Tuesday-Saturday!

Validated parking is available across the street at 501 Santa Monica Blvd (Enter on 5th St.): $7 for 3 hours.

We enjoyed an evening where the head chef had brought in additional colleagues to give us a unique, gustatorially wonderful, and fun dining experience. The synergy amongst the chefs created a balance of cocktails, wine pairings, hors d'oeuvres, and tapas that kept us impressed and happy the whole evening.

I've eaten at Xuntos a few times in the last 6 months. Previously, I was impressed by both the service and the food. Wow, things can change quickly! We dined there last weekend and while the food was about typical, the service was atrocious. The server was clearly more focused on turning the table than providing even a modicum of service. We were jammed into one of the tables upstairs (definitely do NOT eat there, stay in the first floor dining room) and we felt rushed the entire time we were there. Hey, it's Saturday night and we were an earlier reservation so at one level I understand this; to make it so obvious however, well, read on. We used the InKind app to pay for our meal I have used it every time I've eaten there. It always went supe smoothly (it's a great app). For some reason our sever bnver checked and came running out of the restaurant screaming "Are you going to pay your bill?) This was on Santa Monica Boulevard in the middle of Saturday night so, of course, the situation was mortifying. When I informed her we had paid via the app like always, she said "OK" turned around and went back inside. No apology, nothing for publicly embarrassing us over her mistake. Of course, the various homeless in the area hearing this couldn't pass up a chance to harass us. Bottom line: I'll never eat here again. If you don't want to be rushed, treated like cattle and totally disrespected, you won't either.
