Description
This Highland Park branch of Taco and Dunia Borga's popular Latin fusion eatery is more café -- albeit one writ large (the main dining room sits 90) -- than restaurant. The menu is still full of award-wining fare, beginning with coffee at first light and breakfast pastries made by pastry chef Dunia. Lunch and dinner include what the Borgas call "Latin, or Mestizo, flavored foods," including grillados (grilled sandwiches), and family-style platters, like pollo criollo and bife de cuadril. The Gaucho Steak, an Argentine-inspired rib-eye presentation and enough for three, is a big dinner draw. But what distinguishes this La Duni from the other two outposts are the signature baked treats, like guava and cheese Gloria and the banana mantecada enjoyable at Mojito bar.
