Duo's Mexican brunch deserves a try

Duo's has some of the best Mexican dinner in Pittsburgh, and its brunch shouldn't be overlooked.

The intrigue: The menu moves beyond standard Tex-Mex fare and into inventive and lesser-explored flavors from south of the border.

Dig in: The tamal de calabaza ($12) has masa dough made with koginut squash. It's stuffed with queso and surrounded by almond salsa relajo.

Pro-tip: Grab a chocolate concha or quesadilla salvadoreña and a coffee for a sweet treat if you still have room.

If you go: 5906 Penn Ave., East Liberty
