La Duni is a popular Latin American restaurant with four locations in the DFW area. I have always been a big fan of the location at NorthPark Mall and I have dined their on several occasions when forced to go shopping with my wife. The location in Fairview is much closer to me, but I was disappointed with the service when it first opened and haven't been back since. After a hiatus of several years, my family and I decided it was time to give this location another chance.

| Brunch Chile Relleno |
On a recent Sunday, we decided to try out the weekend brunch menu at La Duni in Fairview. A Brunch Chile Relleno sounded intriguing, so I had to order it. This poblano pepper was absolutely huge and took up half the plate. The pepper was stuffed with refried black beans, eggs, bacon bits, cheddar, mozzarella, gruyere, queso fresca, and charred salsa roja. The dish really hit the spot and had an outstanding flavor. I would have preferred more bacon, but who doesn't prefer more bacon? The roasted potatoes were also better than average.

| Breakfast Tacos |
My wife ordered the Breakfast Tacos with roasted potatoes. She let me have one of her tacos and we both agreed that they were a little bland until you added some hot sauce and avocado mash to them. My father-in-law had joined us for brunch and he ordered the Migas. Although I didn't sample that dish, he said that it was very good.

| Nutella Milk Chocolate Cake and Cuatros Leches Cake |
La Duni is famous for their desserts and we ordered a trio of desserts; Cuatros Leches Cake, Nutella Milk Chocolate Cake, and a Grape Snow Cone for my daughter. My daughter certainly enjoyed the snow cone, but my wife and I were big fans of the cake slices. The Nutella Milk Chocolate Cake was very good and topped with an expresso white chocolate ganache sauce, but it was not near as good as the Cuatros Leches Cake. We have had the Cuatros Leches several times before and it seems to get better each time.

| Grape Snow Cone |
Although the service wasn't exactly stellar on this visit either, the food more than made up for anything lacking with the service. The first time I visited the restaurant, we had to wait for close to an hour for our food. On this visit, they had our food to us in less than fifteen minutes. I am glad that I gave this restaurant a second chance and my family will certainly be going back in the near future. The brunch items were very good, but I might just go back and have a variety of cake slices for my meal.
