"145 reviews is clearly not enough, so here's another paragraph of praise. We went to Muqueca at 2PM on Sunday, and it was packed. Fortunately we knew to call ahead and we only had to wait 5 minutes when we arrived. Wherever the recession is, it must have skipped over this restaurant. It's not a fancy place, or a big place, or a center of elegant dining...." Read more

"We always start up with the order of yuka and the special sauce, that is always good. The specialty is the muquecas ( seafood stews). it comes sizzling and tasty. It comes with a side of rice so you can mix with the the muqueca. it is a very typical Brazilian seafood place. While you are there don't forget to order the Brazilian Guarana soda, cashew juice or..." Read more

"I just ate at this restaurant with my husband. We are still trying to decide if what we actually put in our mouth was food because it was so bland. Both of us had fish stew with shrimp and mussels. You could definitely split the dish because it has a lot of fish and shrimp. It just tastes like a mound of nothing."

"Yelp was right. It's tasty and worth the walk to Inman and the price. We got there around 8:00 and it was pretty empty, but by 8:30 on a Thursday night, there was probably a 15 min wait. Solid 4 stars."

"Delicious. i recommend the Muqueca- a fish stew from a region in Brazil. Its large enough to split with two. For me, the best sides are the kale and plantains (banana frita.)
Some of the dishes are too much meat for me, but Muqueca's signature dish is the brilliant fish stew!
Small place and sometimes there is a long wait."

"This place is fantastic! The food is excellent and reasonably priced. We didn't have a reservation at got there about 6:15 on a Saturday night. We had no trouble getting a table but by 7 you would have had to wait (you can make reservations) The staff was very friendly although they didn't speak a lot of english. I ask what was in one of the sauces and..." Read more

"This place is great. They found a way to get us a table even though they were filled with reservations for the whole night. I had the moqueca with fish and it was fantastic - but I didn't love the sauce that went with it. Even better was the maranasca.... or something like that.
YUM"

"This place was fantastic. We went in the early afternoon, and I suspect we were lucky that there was a table just opening up; there is very little space. The service was friendly but inattentive. They actually forgot an appetizer we had ordered. But the entrees were so substantial they may have been doing us a favor. I couldn't finish even half of my dish...." Read more

"i really like this place. the food is very yummy, mostly fish (duh, it's fish stew), which is rather different from many of the brazilian restaurants i have been too. the place is very tiny, but feels cozy and friendly. definitely get a few people to go so that you can try different dishes. Any muqueca dishes are definitely signature dishes, but also try..." Read more

"Very Yummy! I would give it a 3 and half star. My fish soup need little bit more salt but it is very delicious. Plantain Lasagna is very sweet. We also had coconut shrimp as appetizer. It was bit oily but very crispy and tasted good with the sauce. My favorite dish there was the rice. Their rice was very well cooked, soft with wonderful taste. Two thumbs up!..." Read more

"It won't be too romantic: Always crowded, tables were moved and shuffled more than once I ate here. Family and casual atmosphere, not too different from what you'd see in Sao Paolo, according to those who've been there. But the food is great. I always get Lasagna de Banana (plantain lasagna in cheese) and something else. The tropical drinks are good too, an..." Read more

"Who doesn't love Muqueca's food, friendly service, warm decor, and authenticity? I won't bother to say much about those well established joys.I found out last night that they take reservations... Even for two people. How did I find out? When I walked in the door at 7 with my bf, the staff got panicky. They had several empty tables ,but they were..." Read more

"I tried the Lasagna de Banana, and it was good but not what I expected from a Plantain Lasagna. I thought either the noodles would be made out of plantains similar to the way gnocchi is made from potatoes and/or there would be plantains mixed in with a traditional lasagna tomato sauce and cheese. The lasagna consisted of plantains cover with cheese, and t..." Read more

"So good. So crowded. but So good. MMMM I need to try this banana lasagna people are talking about! I've been here several times, always with new people, and so excited to show them my hidden jewel! The fish stew is just lovely, especially on a cold rainy Boston day. They also make fresh juices. Ahhh.. Brazil"

"If you're lucky enough to grab a seat, go for it! Otherwise, there's not much room to wait. We finally made it in on our 2nd attempt. The space is tiny, but it creates a fun, authentic atmosphere.We tried a couple of the muqueqas, the signature dishes, which were wonderful for a cold winter night. The stews stay warm and are pretty filling withou..." Read more

"Hmmm soooo good! We tried the chicken Brazilian patties to start and they were so delicious, we actually cut up the last one with a little knife so that everyone got exactly equal amounts. We also tried the Fish Muqueca, the Feijoada and the Cod Capixaba - they were all amazing, but I especially like the Cod Capixaba because it had coconut milk and that's a..." Read more

"I'd read the online reviews recommending this place. I'd read that one order of the fish stew (muqueca) can feed two. Since we went for lunch, I was sure that we'd ordered enough food- and we weren't that hungry.The waitress disagreed and REPEATEDLY insisted that we needed to order more food for our group. As a result, we ordered more than we needed..." Read more

"All I can say is EXCELLENT! Some of the BEST Brazilian food I have eaten. The seafood meals are wonderful and fresh. It's a cozy atmosphere and the people are friendly. Get there early becauase the line is always out the door. The only thing it lacks is wine. I would love a glass with my meal."

"A quaint, family-run place. We went here for Valentine's Day and thoroughly enjoyed our meal! The only reason they get four rather than five stars is because we weren't seated for our 7pm reservation until 7:30. The place was packed, barely enough room for their tables, I'm not even sure why they take reservations. I was a little annoyed that they didn..." Read more

"For constantly great homy style brazilian food, I recommend Muqueca. It's ideally located close to Inman square and to Christina's Ice cream shop. Food is served in a hot stone bowl and contains cilantro, lemon, tomato flavors. Their seafood dishes are probably the most popular and are close to spanish paella. For $10-$20 per entree, there's nothing you can..." Read more

"Wow was this a good meal! My husband and I ventured out of our 'hood tonight for an anniversary treat and decided to head to Muqueca on our friend's recommendation. Absolutely everything we ate was flavorful and fresh, and overall the atmosphere was very friendly and authentic. Not the quickest service (I asked for water twice before getting any) but, on the..."

"The food was very well cooked. Sauces were tasty and I even liked the Beans of the National dish. Everything everyone has said about this restaurant's food is true. The reason why I don't give it a full five stars is because they added the tip right into our check! What? That was a little tricky. What makes them think that four people should have tip inclusi..."
