La Duni Latin Cafe

La Duni Latin Cafe Restaurant Review:

In a city dominated by Tex-Mex restaurants, La Duni offers an unexpected menu of Latin American favorites with European flair. Queso fans have probably never had it like this: tangy provolone doctored up with Argentinian sausage, roasted red peppers and chimichurri that adds both an unexpected green hue and an herbal zing. Latin favorites like starchy yucca fries, grilled sweet plantains and cheese-filled empanadas are all worthy lunch or dinner fare, as is the juicy pork lomo sandwich served on a fluffy house-baked popover with citrusy mojo sauce, avocado and manchego. Most of the wines on the predominantly Spanish and South American list are available by the half-glass, glass, half-bottle and bottle. Be sure to save room for the real menu standouts here: the desserts. Moist quatro leches cake comes crowned with fluffy golden peaks of meringue, and chocolate lovers won't be disappointed by the ultra-rich Venezuelan triple chocolate truffle cake, especially when paired with a selection from the extensive espresso bar menu, like a sweet, creamy Cuban espresso or French hot chocolate.
