La DUNI

My friend and I came here on a Sunday for brunch! We chose this location as opposed to the one on Mckinney Ave because they had outdoor seating and the weather was AMAZING. Anyways, it was about 20-30 min wait for outside seating which ended up being just a 15 minute wait. We got seated, got greeted by our waiter, and was deciding what to get. I would give this five stars because the food was fantastic but our waiter wasn't fantastic at all. He seemed irritated i asked all these questions about the coffee/latte drinks and seemed like he was in a rush to get somewhere else (mind you it wasn't slamming busy) and just overall didn't seem to give off a very comfortable and good vibe. But the food made up for lack of good service. I got the Huevos rancheros Finos which is avocado and bacon added onto it for additional $5 bucks but SO worth it. My friend got the Filete a Caballo which she loveeddddd. We definitely want to come back again like it was the best Huevos rancheros i've ever had! We also got the iced coffee and caramel latte with a cute heart design on it! More...

Excellent Latin restaurant on McKinney Ave! I had the shredded flank steak and my wife has the roasted chicken - all with an authentic Latin flair! I'll definitely be back.

Love this restaurant! The service is always top notch and the food is even better! Get the rice salad with either pork or chicken, you can't go wrong. They also have the best iced tea on the planet. Go to the NorthPark location over the Knox Henderson one. Way better service at NorthPark! More...

Love love love this spot! From the decor to the food to the ambiance to the service, this place is an absolute gem! It's located in the Knox/Henderson area and has a cute Spanish vibe. From the moment you enter, there's Spanish music playing. There's a garden seating area that's enclosed, but has windows all around it and is attached to the indoor seating area. There is also a beautiful display of cakes as I believe they are known for their cakes and pastries. The menu has a variety of delicious Mexican inspired dishes. My husband and I ordered breakfast bowls, which included eggs, black beans, salsa, cheese, avocado and tortilla strips. Our meals were excellent and the portions were the right amount. What I also love about this place is that they have a full espresso/coffee menu. I ordered a latte made with their homemade almond milk and it was one of the best lattes I've had! The service was excellent and the staff was very hospitable. Overall, amazing experience! Will be back! More...

3:30 in the afternoon on a gorgeous Saturday this place was bumpin! I found a seat at the bar and was immediately welcomed. The staff seems to have a "one dream, one team" attitude. Anyone who noticed I needed anything would ask how I was doing. So nice! I ordered the flautas and they came out within minutes piping hot. I'm really impressed with their professionalism! Thank you La Duni! More...

For a mall based eatery, I enjoyed the visit. Many options to choose from (almost too many). I had their Shrimp Salad, Beef empanadas, and some Sauvignon. The waitress that recommended the salad was very charming.I think if you're going out with a work gang for lunch, this would be a perfect spot. The bar food is more than adequate, and they have some decent happy hour prices.I stopped by for early dinner, which was sort of a miss, as I felt like the food isn't filling enough to be Dinner-worthy.

I really like La Duni - Unfortunately there is not one in Fort Worth. So on occasion when I am in Dallas I go to one either off Knox Henderson or Northpark mall. I prefer Northpark mall because they have the chicken Milanesa on the menu and it is fabulous. It comes with mashed potatoes and green beans. The green beans are grilled and crisp and flavorful and delicious! Good food, good coffee, and I am always too full for dessert, but they look delicious. More...

The food is very tasty and the ambiance it's really nice. It's an overview of Latin American cuisine. The have a mix platter for appetizers which has empanadas, sweet plantains, cheese balls and tostones (also plantain but fried). They have all kind of food, from tacos, to chorizo burgers, chicken salads, salmon, and others. The best part I should say it's the desserts the triple chocolate Venezuelan cake it's my favorite, followed by the tres leches. Drinks are OK, they have a great wine selection, and have lemonade with club soda which is my fav. Service has always been good, and it can be pricey. But it's worth it. More...

Recently I had Sunday brunch at La Duni for the first time in over a year and I was pleasantly surprised. With so many restaurants in Dallas it's easy to forget about an old favorite. I ordered the brunch Chile Relleno and it was very flavorful relleno filled with a perfect combination of eggs, cheeses and bacon with some delicious salsa verde on the side. It comes with breakfast potatoes that are roasted and cooked perfectly.  I'm so happy to have rediscovered La Duni, it was like seeing old friend. More...

Don't even second guess it, this place is off the charts amazing!!!!Food: You will fall in love after trying the empanadas stuffed with shredded beef, encased in a golden shell made of corn. Make sure to order extra because the serving size of 3 is not enough. Carne Asada platter was split between 2 people, they upcharge $3.50 to give it in separate plates which includes extra beans and rice. Totally worth it. Portions were perfect. Not sure how someone would be able to eat it by themselves. There is a side of cheese with the perfect slab of meat and it all goes together so perfectly. I practically licked it off my plate. *** my friend said it's "the only place in Dallas that knows how to make a mojito" Service: Sweetest waiter, didn't catch his name though.  He gave us a $25 voucher to come again! Atmosphere: Oh this place is super bougie. Definitely not what I was expecting when I walked in. Decor is classy and chic, with Spanish and French vibes. Crowd is a bit older so you won't find anyone taking pictures of their food. 15/10 recommend More...

When my wife and me get a break we like a place where we can sit back in a nice atmosphere and this is what we found in La Duny at McKinney Ave. in Dallas! We called a dear friend who is a map for great places in Texas, and she recommended La Duny. Coffee was outstanding as they have such a variety it is hard to choose. After we had a Cuban sandwich with ripe plantains which were just great! Service was great as well. To finalize, our friend Lisa said we could not leave without trying their "4 Leches" which was a sin....so we will sin again eventually!! For breakfast, brunch it is a great place to be! Try it, you will like it very much! More...

Raves all around from our group of four who enjoyed a quiet Friday dinner last week. I'd only been to La Duni for breakfast and brunch, so sampling the dinner fare was a treat. My mojito martini was refreshing and not too sweet. Others enjoyed beer and a lemon martini on the cocktail menu. We took the server's recommendation and were all pleased with our meals. I had the half chicken served with an aromatic, flavorful sauce. My friends raved about their food--the beef (bistec) and a shrimp dish.  Oh, and I almost forgot to mention that the guacamole was phenomenal--a unique twist on a staple. Service was leisurely. We now have a new spot to add to our dinner rotation. More...

One of my favorite restaurant!! This place is located in Nothpark mall, so it is so convenient for me to shop and eat at the same time! My favorite go-to dish is Trio salad. I don't know what's so special about it, but it is so good! The balance between those three salads are wonderful. My husband tried their taquitos, and it was delicious. I have not had chance to try La Duni's dessert. I would love to get some cake next time with coffee! More...

I came in with my friend and I for lunch yesterday. There was no wait and it was after 12 PM. We got seated right away with no problem. Joel was our server and he was good and kept checking on us and updating us on where our order was at and how soon it should be out. I was quite pleased, as his service was above and beyond. He was very attentive and answered our questions regarding the menu.For appetizer, my friend and I decided to try the Texas Dip. Let me tell you, that was so delicious!!! The salsa that came with our chips before our appetizer had a lovely kick to it. To me that was not a problem, as I have built some tolerance to spice to some extent. As far as the main lunch meal, my friend and I decided to split the rib-eye fajitas. That itself was enough for two gals. We decided on a well done rib-eye. Rib-eye tasted savory and definitely came out sizzling hot. We got corn tortillas and it was "unlimited," meaning we got like 5 corn tortillas for us to share, as requested. :) The fajita platter definitely was enough to share with my friend and I. I even added the Texas Dip and it made my fajitas taste wonderful!! Our dessert was Baked Alaska, I think the kahlua being poured in it was a winner for my taste buds. I definitely would go back for the dessert. I just feel bad, I never got to use my $2 off for being a Yelper and have accidentally marked it used. Hopefully, I can come back and make it work for me. I really did appreciate the manager explaining it to me. Service --- 5 starsPrice--For where the area is at, reasonable in my opinionFood---- 5 stars, muy deliciosa!!! More...

This is such a cozy, elegant cafe. I came here on a lunch date so I didn't have long to spare. Angel was our server and understood we were on a time crunch. He gave us recommendations on food which the polo aljibe caught my attention due to it having a champagne sauce. I thought that was a classy spin on roasted chicken. 1) service was amazing. Waiter was friendly and everything was time officiant from us being seated, orders taken, served and received check. I love empanadas so being at an authentic Argentina restaurant i rightfully so ordered some. I ordered the chicken empanadas they were fried fresh and didn't have a grease taste to them. I wish that they made some with meat and cheese combined but the one we had were delightful. Only thing is the empanadas did not come with any sort of sauce. But our waiter did bring me out a side of salsa to enjoy with them and it really did the trick, the salsa was full of flavor and made fresh. Now the main course, The chicken entree is more than enough if you are coming in for a quick lunch. My date and I was actually able to share seeing that we had an appetizer as well. You get a leg quarter with rice, black beans and a few pieces of plantain. Now, I for one am not a fan of plantain. I don't care for the texture nor taste but these were literally the best plantains I've ever had. They were sweet and did not have that bitter taste like most plantains have. I have spread the word about this hidden gem to plenty of friends and I plan to come back for dinner to try drinks as well because there were so many oof options to choose from. And when service is great you want to keep coming back. More...

This is an upscale Latin inspired coffee shop located within the mall. The coffee options here are extensive and will cater to many taste buds. We went with the traditional cappuccino and we were super delighted! Each cup of coffee also comes with an tiny puffed pastry and that adds to the experience - we felt as if we were in a Vienna coffee shop (with a Latino flavor). The only opportunity is to serve the customers faster as it took forever to get our coffee. Overall, it was great! More...

This is one of my favorite places to have a good cortadito coffee. They have the best desserts in the DFW area. Their prices are high but it's well worth it. They have great entrees. We ordered their lomito cubano. This dish is always on point. The pork is cooked to perfection. The rice and beans are well seasoned and they taste good. The dish also comes with fried plantains and yuca which are one of my favorite things to eat. I can never go wrong with this dish which is the reason I always order it. I have had their sandwiches they are full of flavor. The best sandwiches are definitely here. The bread is fresh and delicious. Their Argentinian empanadas are amazing full of taste. We ordered the ground beef and the empanada was flakey and so tasteful. We also ordered La Duni cocktail. It had passion fruit in. It was more like a smoothie but it exploded in flavor. I didn't taste a lot of the alcohol which was fine. I will definitely order it again specially during the summer. We also had their 4 leches cake. It is the best cake in the DFW area. It's very moist and full of flavor. Everything tasted fresh and made it order which I understand why the high prices. We will be definitely coming back. More...
