"Love their fish stew. I've never had it before this place and can't believe I've missed out. I keep coming back for their cod cakes and try the fried yucca with dry meat. This is my go to ALL the time! Passion fruit caipirinha is essential since it's not too sweet and a little sour Also - go with a group (like 3+) The food does take a while to come out so m..."

"I had the shrimp muqueca and frankly it was nothing more than a mix of water, salt, tomatoes, onion, and shrimp. For $20 I would've expected more. After finishing the meal I was still hungry and had to order another side of rice. Then I was crazy thirsty all night and the next morning I weighed 3 lbs heavier because of the sodium. Disappointed and confused b..." Read more

"Went here for dinner and was more than satisfied. Most Brazilian restaurants in the area are Churrisquerias, so it's refreshing to experienced more nuanced versions of Brazilian cuisine. The service is really gracious-it's obvious that the management really takes pride and pleasure in what they do. The menu is more seafood heavy and the muquecas are excellen..." Read more

"Really delicious fish and seafood stew. Large sizes (serves 1.5-2), served in a clay pot with rice. The flavors of the soup are amazing. The only downside is that it's a bit pricey - around $20 for the stews. Next time I'll share one with someone so I can try their other dishes."

"My friend and I were looking for a place to grab dinner and catch up and we stumbled upon this restaurant on Yelp. The reviews were good and location convenient so we decided to give it a chance. And boy are we glad we did! Cambridge Street can be a pain to find convenient parking but thankfully I was able to find something not too far from the restaurant...." Read more

"Tripe Stew is awesome everything else looks good. The portion was a bit small for $15.00 and I was looking forward to some pork belly in the stew which never materialized the waiter said it was cut in tiny pieces so I guess it dissolved. The taste was good and looking around me everyone else's table had beautiful food including this gigantic fried fish on th..." Read more

"A friend recommended this place so we checked it out yesterday and I didn't get disappointed! I have never tried Brazilian food before so this was a good experience. We were seated right away. The place is cozy and the decor is different. I had tried the Brazilian drink "Caipirinha" before so we ordered that. I didn't know that it came in different flavors..." Read more

"Very authentic northeastern Brazilian food, and delicious. Also vegetarian-friendly, which the food in northeastern Brazil is generally not. They make vegetarian versions of classic dishes that vegetarians can't usually enjoy: moqueca, bobó, feijão with bananas or tofu instead of meat. Great smoothies too, with Brazilian fruits like açaí, cupuaçu, acerola, g..." Read more

"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."

"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
