La Duni Latin Cafe-McKinney Avenue

The folks behind this popular brasserie have created a mini-empire off their take on Pan-Latin specialties, operating several locations throughout the metroplex. The menu features everything from Argentinean empanadas and unique sandwiches served on Peruvian pan de yema to street tacos and tequila-guava baby back ribs. And the Latin vibe doesn't stop with food, there's also an equally superb lineup of libations (think mojito martinis, South American wines and hand-crushed limonadas). If you've got a serious sweet tooth, you may want to skip the meal and just come for dessert, the cuatro leches cake, smothered in caramelized Swiss meringue--is legendary. Also legendary is the weekend brunch. Just make sure to call ahead and add your name to the wait list to avoid the line.
