Restaurant info
Xuntos is a neighborhood Tapas Bar from Chef Sandra Cordero. A love letter to summers in Spain & the joy of dining (& working) in restaurants, Cordero designed Xuntos to be both romantic & unrefined, where you can sit down at a cozy corner booth & eat with your hands, or stand up at the bar & give a toast. The menu opens with specialities you won’t find anywhere else in LA: hand-cut jamón ibérico set on the bar & huge Galician-style empanadas with golden-brown crust on display in a glass case by the entrance. It continues with a rotating selection of pintxos (finger foods), seasonal seafood like razor clams & percebes (gooseneck barnacles), & a wide-ranging menu of tapas inspired by the farmer's market & the iconic dishes of Galicia, Catalunya & San Sebastian, prepared & served as in Spain. There are many new things to try & to share, with service anchored in Spanish hospitality: generosity, warmth, abundance & pride.
