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!

Please email us for large parties & private dining: hola@barxuntos.com

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

Food was tasty but price for the proportions definitely not worth it. Also food takes FOREVER to come out. And that was with the dining room only half full. Wanted to order more but didn’t want to wait and frankly would be too expensive for amount

Absolutely exceptional! Xuntos has become a fast favorite of mine. With exciting shareable plates and creative cocktails, this combination is sure to wow your palate. We recently took my mom for her birthday dinner, and the charming pink scallop shell theme was the perfect backdrop for the celebration. We tried lots of different dishes and shockingly did not break the bank. Two specials we tried where stuffed dates and artichoke hearts, delicious. The menu regulars we ordered were the jamon (do not skip this), garlic shrimp (you’re going to want to drink the sauce, so ask for extra bread in advance), squid ink pasta, arugula salad, and lemon/champagne/vodka dessert. The drinks were also a delight, with the Calimoxto being the table’s favorite surprise of the night and the Gin Tonic a coming in a close second. All in all we had a ball! Definitely proud to see this restaurant fairing well, in the often crowded Santa Monica food scene. 10/10 recommend.

DineLA deal was amazing!! We thought we would be selecting 1 dish out of each course but it was actually over 10 different dishes for $65.

Great example of Galician food and delicious! And best beer in the world of Estrella Galicia, and on tap! Don’t know of any other place in L.A. that has Estrella Galicia on tap.

NYE: 8:30 reservation, got sat at 9:30. Asked for a 3 top and were told they would try but were given a 2 top even though there were 4 seater tables available which were later filled by 2ppl not 4. Food came out very quickly but felt rushed as servers just dropped the food and left without a word. Also servers would take the food/drink away from us without even asking if we had finished yet (we hadn’t finished). Ordered a plate of Jamon, ($15pp) and were given a plate of mostly fat which we had to send back and request a new plate. Overall- not a great experience for the money we paid. Probably wouldn’t go back.
