For most students, grabbing a bite means heading to one of the relatively affordable restaurants located near campus. Sometimes, though, students may have a desire to break out and spend a night in the city. If this is the case, head downtown and visit Seviche, a restaurant serving a wide variety of Latino tapas.
Ceviche is a traditional Latin American dish that, in its purest form, is fish marinated in lime juice. There are many different varieties of this dish, but the original ceviche is speculated to be from Peru. In the traditional Peruvian style, ceviche is made of chunks of raw fish marinated in lemon and lime juice, chopped onions, garlic, tomatoes, and a little bit of chili pepper, and is usually served with tortillas or tortilla chips. The fish is cooked by the citric acid in the marinade and is served at room temperature. This dish provides a quick, easy-to-make summer meal.
At Seviche, customers can sample many different preparations of the dish, and this brings in tastes from around the world. The menu gives you seven styles of ceviche that then can be made with 13 different types of fish. The two most popular styles, traditional and Asian tartare, go best with the ahi tuna. The traditional ceviche is a very simple take on the dish that is both light and substantive. The Asian tartare is equally delicious. Little rice squares serve as the base for the fish seasoned with soy sauce and accented with wasabi mayonnaise and white truffle oil. The Asian flair is well-balanced and the taste of the tuna is pleasant but not overbearing.read more
