"Initially, I was a little worried as the waitress would not seat us until our whole party arrived (3 out of 4 were there!). Our friend just arrived as she said she was going to give our table away if another complete party arrived ... So my tip #1 is make sure you all arrive on-time if you have a booking :-) But despite that initial hick-up - it was defini..." Read more

"Came here for dinner with some friends and I'm glad we did! We found parking just steps from the entrance and were seated right away once everyone in our party arrived. Make reservations ahead of time coz the place is pretty small and gets packed quickly. The staff was great, very friendly and attentive. We split the Coconut Shrimp (delish- not too coconut-t..."

"My boyfriend decided that this is where he wanted to go for his birthday dinner and i'm SO glad he did. I was skeptical after a quick glance at the online menu, not having any experience with Brazilian food and not being a huge seafood lover. We went on a sunday evening with a group of 10 and we had a 5pm reservation. we were seated very promptly..." Read more

"A very very solid 4 stars. I love Brazilian/Portuguese seafood, and this really hit the spot for me on a busy Friday night. Service was very friendly and knowledgeable, and food was even better. I had a huge hearts of palm salad and shrimp muqueca. Both were simple dishes done right, fresh and flavorful, and that's really the magic of this place."

"Came here on a whim and had to sit at the bar cuz they were all booked. Make reservations ahead of time!
Ordered the Mariscada and Fish with Shrimp Moqueca. Both were very good, full of flavor. Out of the two I think the Mariscada was better."

"YUM! I have tried to replicate the seafood muquecas at home and failed! They are so flavorful and delicious, one of my favorite places in Cambridge. I wish the place was bigger because it is a bit cramped, but the food is SO worth it! Lovely with a side of plaintains. The fruit drinks are really good too. The best part is there is always enough left over..." Read more

"They just moved to a new location, right across from where they were before. I think a bit of the charm is lost but they have a lot more tables and there is more space. No more jostling to get in and out! They also now have a beer and wine license which is AWESOME! They also have bar seating and waiting area where they serve food. A friend and I shared a ta..."

"Muqueca is a hearty Brazilian seafood stew, often served with rice. I was delighted to find a restaurant in the Boston area that served this after having devoured many delicious muquecas in other cities. The fish and shrimp muqueca is a must-try. Rich, tomato-y broth, fresh seafood, all combine to give incredible flavors, especially when eaten with farofa,..." Read more

"I had no idea what to expect from Brazilian food. Every other Brazilian restaurant I've been to was a meat-filled buffet in Framingham. This place is thankfully, not that. Tons of vegetarian and pescatarian options. My fish stew was excellent - more than enough for two people and I need to figure out how they do their fried yucca!I'll ech..." Read more

"I've been to Muqueca a couple of times in their old location, and just went in their new location. Unfortunately, the wait for a table is just as a slow, so make a reservation. The fried yucca appetizer is ok, nothing special. I am unimpressed by their namesake seafood platters, their vibrantly colored fish is covered in herbs, so one would expect it to b..." Read more

"Nice cozy place to eat. Seems like a popular spot to hang out with friends which is exactly what I did when I went. Unfortunately the place is somewhat hidden behind construction now but that shouldn't stop you from eating the delicious food cooked in clay pots. It feels like each meal is made especially for you; no matter what you decide. I had..." Read more

"We went to Mueque for the first time tonight. To be honest, the service was really slow (and it took a long time for the wait staff to even decide where we should sit, and the place wasn't crowded). I said to my friend, "the food had better be great." It was. Really, really great. Tender, delicious cuts of meat, huge portions, delicious sauces. Well worth..." Read more

"A conversation I could imagine having about this place: Me- It is really really good Brazilian restaurant. Fictional Friend- Oh, I LOVE Brazilian BBQ Me- Well I do too, but this place isn't a BBQ place it is more of a seafood place and their namesake specialty dish is a stew like dish with all types of veggies and seafood that comes out boiling in these..."
