What People Are Saying About Xunta Tapas Bar
The Editor
Karen Hudes

In Short – Blue lights, fisherman's netting and rum-barrel tables set the room's tone. As Spanish guitar and flamenco music plays, a largely professional and creative crowd eats, drinks and talks it up. Tortilla espanola, the potato-omelette staple of any tapas bar, is as good here as it is in Seville. The mussels, garlic shrimp and jamon serrano are killer, while the creamy queixo cabrales--a regional Spanish blue cheese--makes a fine topper for the dense homemade bread.

Great Atmosphere
by nyparisenne
Went there with a friend when they had live flamenco, the place was packed but the manager was really great in finding us a spot within minutes. Staff is friendly, the tapas were very good a bit pricey. The Sangrias were amazing, really goo deal for a pitcher! The Flamenco dancers as well were great. Overall great experience.
- Pros: Great entertainment, Great Sangrias
- Cons: very small

I only went here once with my friend and I got a few tapas and were pretty happy with most of the dishes. The hot tapas weren't quite as large as we were expecting the, to be for the price--i mean tapas are supposed to be small plates but not microscopic!! But the taps we did get were pretty flavorful, but service was not as good as it should have been. I haven't been there at night, but I have heard at night it is pretty full with people, but as for tapas I would give it a try since spanish tapas are hard to find sometimes
- Cons: service,small plate

Great Galician tapas!
by gusi
Well, I was there yesterday night (Saturday) and I loved it! The food was super good, the flamenco was awesome and that Argentinian waiter that someone was bitching about in a previous review was hot!
The Spanish owner is also very nice and polite (and cute) and does everything he can to get you a table.
