Best Tapas Restaurants in Marina del Rey

Overall, I’d recommend Xuntos because the food was delicious. My partner & I ordered the tasting menu and enjoyed each dish that came out. I will say we were both starving and ready to eat when we arrived, but the tasting menu ended up being a little too much - they could have taken one or two tapas out and it would have been enough food for two people. That being said. We enjoyed not having to think about what to order, and the experience of being surprised by an assortment of dishes was fun! I also think it was a very reasonably priced tasting menu. Service was definitely lacking though… First, I booked a standard table online for a date night, and they tried to sit us at a high top in a busy section of the restaurant where a party was taking place instead of a perfectly good corner table upstairs and away from the ruckus. It took a long time to order our drinks, and even longer to receive them - true on the second round too. Maybe they were low staffed at the bar or the large party downstairs was adding too much to the service load? The staff were very pleasant and we ultimately had a nice evening (plus the food was worth it), but I definitely think the service could be a little bit faster and more attentive.

Lovely choice of tapas & wines. Delicious. Limited non-alcoholic options.

Good as usual, Happy Hour times are unclear, leading to half our check being HH and half not, which was confusing. Plates feel lighter than before, rice was really dry. Overall one of my less impressive visits.

Another fantastic evening… food is delightful, all of the staff are amazing… nice vibes, nothing was rushed.. you have to try the short rib, delicious & the cocktails are to die for - 5 ⭐️

This might be one of my favorite restaurants! I have a wheat allergy and can really only eat gluten-free. The entire menu is an option for me!!!!!!!!!
