Ahi tuna is a popular restaurant menu item these days, often popping up in the most unexpected places – for instance at Cabo Fresh, a California-Mexican grill in Stony Brook that's been around a little more than a year. Here you'll find it prepared in tacos or burrito-style, and it's worth giving it a shot.
The Dish: Seared Ahi Tuna Tacos (3 for $9.95)
What's Inside: Besides the obvious seared ahi tuna, you'll find lime-cilantro rice, pico de gallo, and fresh spinach, all topped with wasabi cucumber sauce.
