"Why this place think is ok to automatically 18% gratuity to your bill regardless of their service or the number of guests at the table.
I am never to set a foot in there again."

"+ Fun, clean, spacious environment. + Friendly servers. + Interesting, authentic-seeming dishes. - Often long wait times for dinner after ordering (longer than 1hr on multiple occasions). - Quite expensive for what is provided. - Most dishes not particularly flavorful or tasty."

"Muequeca gets two stars for being a unique restaurant that has a fun vibe and atmosphere. The food was okay - the yucca flour you get to put on the top of your dish, though, gets a 10/10 five stars plus fireworks. Amazing. The service was the worst. I went here when there were maybe two other tables, and we had three different waiters, had to constantl..." Read more

"My girlfriend and I have been coming here for a while now, and it's always been a great comfort food go-to. This place was first introduced to me by a Brazilian uber driver who mentioned this along with Fogo de Chau as the best Brazilian food places in Boston. Did not disappoint.We usually get fried yucca (you can't not order it), a seafood casserole..." Read more

"I have come many times, whether with colleagues or alone, to enjoy their authentic Brazilian fare. Definitely a favorite for Brazilians-I always hear Portuguese in the clientele. The service is friendly and the restaurant small and comfy. Not fine dining, but the food does not disappoint. I head there often on my trips to Cambridge, it's like a brief sto..." Read more

"We had just seen a movie and had heard about this place, so we decided to stop by. Arrived at 9:30pm. The sign and website says they close at 10:30pm. I saw the waitresses sweeping inside and knocked on the window to ask why they were closing so early. I pointed to the hours displayed. The lady refused to open the door to explain and just kept making a hand..." Read more

"We ordered two meals and decided to share .. The banana lasagna and vegetable stroganoff .. We enjoyed the banana lasagna very much but the stroganoff was not up to par ... The menu had no mention of tofu (if it had I would not have ordered the dish) and the only vegetables were mushrooms. I am glad I tried this place but would not recommend."

"This is a regular spot for my family. The kids menu is generous, and the kids always get the steak or fried fish. Beer and wine is cheap.. My husband sticks to the feijoada which is a traditional pork dish with black beans and sometimes varieties of meats with collard greens and plantains on the side. I always get the shrimp muqueca and a side of fried yucca..." Read more

"We had red snapper and fish moqueca. Red snapper was fried so that everything was totally dry. Fish moqueca was not tasty at all, toilets was also not clean. Only good thing about the place is smiling staff. That is all. I don't recommend this place."

"I am not familiar with Brazilian food too much so the food here was quite authentic to me. However it was really heavy and not tasty. For the money we paid (over 80 $ for 1 appetizer, 2 dinners, 2 drinks) we could not eat much. Simply put this place is quite average, there is nothing that wows you. Hence the food is way too pricey for what's offered. The red..." Read more

"I advise anyone who orders from this restaurant for delivery to take precaution. I ordered the steak which comes with a fried egg, rice and beans and one of their juices. I was not supplied any eating utensils and when reaching out to alert the restaurant and Yelp Eat24 to this issue was told at first it was my fault for not requesting these items, and then..."

"Authentic and delicious! The stews are full of seafood and low on stew, so it's filling and you can be sure that you'll be eating dinner and not drinking it. The helpful waitstaff explained how to eat the stews with condiments and made sure all our questions were answered. The wall art is also fabulous and made by one of the waiters! Make sure to get a reser..." Read more

"Fish Muqueca was absolutely delicious. Anyone that enjoys stews should definitely try this Brazilian specialty. The servers were very informative and explained the various options for preparing their stews."

"Love this place! I've loved every meal I've had here: muqueca, stroganoff, and feijoada. I also recommend the juices from the juice bar. Get the blue caju!"

"I have been living in Inman square for a year and went here for the first time last night with my GF. I am so sad that I have not tried this place sooner. I'm not lying or using too much hyperbole when I say this is the best restaurant I have eaten at in all of Boston area. We had the regular fried yucca for an appetizer and it was great. The secret sauce w..." Read more

"I've missed Brazilian food. When I was in Brazil a month ago I had moqueca in different regions of Brazil literally all the time and they were so good.. Here at Muqueca it wasn't bad, but it's all diluted. We had the calamari and fish moqueca, which came in a small pot with tomato broth? I expected something much thicker and richer and this dish was..." Read more

"Amazing food! The steak dish was delicious and the seafood casserole was so freaking tasty! Good sangria and vodka drink as well"

"Very accommodating staff. Highly recommend the Shrimp Bobo & coconut shrimp! Stay away from the Caipirinha as it tasted like a pre-mixed, over sugared, and little alcohol (if any) drink. It's a shame for a Brazilian restaurant not to do this signature Brazilian cocktail well."
