Good cheap restaurants in DFW?

[freek007]

Hey there fellow eGulleteers!

I will be traveling to the DFW area this weekend and was wondering...

Where should I eat for lunch on Sunday? I have been to the area before, but everything is so tightly packed, I cant seem to scan the options quick enough, so I need some inside info on where the good places are.

Cuisine is of little importance, I like most food (the more exotic or abnormal the better, though. I love trying new foods).

I need it to be relatively cheap ($10-20 per person), and would like something I cant get anywhere else, wether because of a local specialty or house drink or just the experience of eating there.

I am from Austin, so really good Tex-Mex or actual mexican is pretty easy to come by and any restaurants of that genre would have to be spectacular or have a very unique gimmick.

Thanks in advance for all your input!!

what part of town will you be in while you are here? That will help narrow down the list of possibilities.

i can go most anywhere, but the closer to the downtown area the better, try to avoid distant suburbs unless they are really worth it.

Since it is Sunday lunch, are you looking for more of a Brunch experience or just a good lunch menu?

[freek007]

format isnt important, either... just the local favs

although i would prefer somewhere with an interesting menu, if a place has one or two "must try"s that will work, too.

I haven't been in a while, but near downtown, Monica's Acca y Alla always had what I thought was an interesting menu. It's Tex-Mex-ish. I know you said maybe not Tex Mex, but sorry, it's all I can think of.

Breadwinners would be a good brunch place in uptown close to down town.

Ferre's italian also has some good brunch specialities.

La Duni gets a lot of raves - but it is mexican/south american

I like Kathleen's Art Cafe for brunch.

LOVE LaDuni, too. ARe they open on Sunday? if so, go there and save room for cake.
