    You find a Dungeon by searching. It could be anywhere underground.

    I can't give you a general location of anything. All maps are randomly generated, you'll just have to find it.

    If that's true, then I'm in luck.  I've just found about a 500 tile lava lake in my cave system.

    Yeah, I keep kind of finding them.  I just dig down.  Not one really massive cave system (well, the last one I came upon is), but a bunch of kind of smaller ones. 
     
    Also, make a compass.  Useful stuff.  Make sure you use torches like bread crumbs, so you can kind of follow them back the way you came.  If there's a dead end, don't put a torch there, and you'll remember that's not the way to go.

    The general thought was you dig down to bedrock, then going up count ten-twelve blocks back up and dig out.  That seems to be the area that most of the subterranean caverns are located.  Its what I do at least and it has been the best in terms of caverns and valuable veins or ore (diamond).
     
    Couple of tips:
     

    • Listen for water, dig too it.  Headphones help.
    • Clear out areas of gravel and dirt deep underground, often it will open up to a cavern.
    • If you see cobblestone that you did not place you're right by a monster spawn (dungeon).

    My best luck finding dungeons has been by exploring natural cave systems. I found 3 once in a single cavern, one of which was naturally open and spawning skeletons at me before I even knew about it.
