How to Book StreetXO, Madrid (2026)
Published · Updated
StreetXO is Dabiz Munoz's punk Asian bar on the top floor of an El Corte Ingles, and the main room takes no reservations at all. Getting in is a matter of timing the queue, not refreshing an app.
Dabiz Munoz's no-booking Asian street-food bar above Serrano. Arrive before the doors open for a loud, brilliant solo or two-top dinner.
StreetXO does not work like other Madrid bookings, because for the room most people want there is no booking at all. Dabiz Munoz runs the main bar on a first-come basis, so the question is not which platform to use but when to show up. Once you know the rhythm, getting in is straightforward.
How Hard Is StreetXO to Book?
For the main food bar, you cannot book, so the difficulty is the queue rather than a release. StreetXO sits on the third floor of the El Corte Ingles department store on Calle Serrano 47, in Salamanca, and the bar seats fill first-come from the moment the doors open. Turn up fifteen to twenty minutes before service, put your name down, and you will usually be seated in the first wave. Arrive at peak time on a Friday or Saturday and the wait stretches well past an hour.
The Walk-In and the Private Room
There are two routes in. The first is the walk-in: lunch runs roughly 13:00 to 15:30 and dinner 20:00 to 23:00, and the trick is to be at the host stand a few minutes before the doors. The second is the only part of StreetXO you can reserve, a private room called the Callejon Estrella Damm for groups of up to ten, booked through the contact form on streetxo.com. It carries a minimum spend of around 600 euros for fewer than six guests, or about 100 euros a head for six to ten. If you have a group and a fixed date, the private room removes the queue entirely.
What You Are Actually Booking
StreetXO is the loud, deliberately chaotic project of Dabiz Munoz, whose flagship DiverXO holds three Michelin stars across town. The cooking is pan-Asian street food run through a Spanish blender: the Pekinese dumplings, the club-sandwich-style bites and the chilli-slicked noodles are the plates regulars order on sight. Expect roughly 50 to 90 euros a head before drinks, which makes it the most affordable way to eat Munoz cooking. For scores and the full write-up, read our StreetXO verdict, and the Madrid dining guide maps the alternatives. It belongs in any conversation about the best Spanish restaurants worldwide.
Don't bother queuing for StreetXO if
You want a quiet, reservable table or a calm tasting menu. StreetXO is a loud open kitchen with no booking for the main bar, built for energy rather than a hushed dinner. Diners who want a serious, seated Madrid occasion should book DiverXO or another room instead.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you make a reservation at StreetXO?
Not for the main bar. StreetXO runs its food bar on a first-come, walk-in basis, so there is no online release to refresh. The only bookable space is the Callejon Estrella Damm private room for groups of up to ten, reserved through streetxo.com. For an individual table you simply turn up, ideally a little before service opens, and add your name to the list at the host stand.
How do you get a table at StreetXO?
Arrive early. Lunch runs about 13:00 to 15:30 and dinner about 20:00 to 23:00 on the third floor of El Corte Ingles on Calle Serrano, and the bar seats fill first-come. Get there fifteen to twenty minutes before the doors open, put your name down, and you should be seated quickly. At Friday and Saturday peak the wait can pass an hour, so weekday lunch is the easiest way in.
How much does StreetXO cost?
Plan on roughly 50 to 90 euros a head before drinks. The menu is built for sharing across small, intense plates such as the Pekinese dumplings and the crispy noodles, so the bill scales with how many you order. It is the cheapest way to eat Dabiz Munoz's cooking, well below the tasting menu at his three-star DiverXO. Cocktails are a strength and will lift the total.
Where is StreetXO in Madrid?
On the third floor of the El Corte Ingles department store at Calle Serrano 47, in the Salamanca district. The entrance is through the store, then up to the gourmet floor, where the open kitchen and counter sit behind a black-and-neon room. It is a short walk from the Serrano and Velazquez metro stops. See the Madrid dining guide for what else is nearby.
Is StreetXO worth it?
Yes, if you want the most exciting cheap-thrills meal in Madrid and do not mind the noise. You get Dabiz Munoz's pan-Asian street food, a three-Michelin-star sensibility served loud and fast, for a fraction of the DiverXO price. The trade-off is the queue and the volume.
