"Best Brazilian place I've been to in New England. I went there yesterday with a couple of friends for dinner and the food was AMAZING. We arrived there around 6:30pm on a Tuesday night and the restaurant was practically empty. There is a small bar directly ahead when you walk in and there are some bench seating and small tables to the left. This restaurant..." Read more

"I love the Muquecas! I usually order the Muqueca Completa, which has almost everything. Although it might seem pricy at first, it is so sharable because I cannot possibly eat one Muqueca by myself, so I always share with my boyfriend. In the end, still a great value. The Shrimp Saute Garlic Olive Oil & Cilantro is a TASTY appetizer, GET IT. :) Brazilian Cr..." Read more

"Completely great experience on a rainy early Tuesday evening - 6:30 is a good time to go: meters are done, so free parking right outside and a prime window seat.  Airy blue ocean colors, complementary artwork, and soothing Brazilian music at just the right level.  Service was quick and attentive.  Caipirinha was ok, but not freshly made.  Crispy coconut shri..."

"This place is charming with great service. Not the cheapest (fish muqueca is $23) but the quality of the ingredients is very good. We always get the fried yucca with the yummy garlic dipping sauce and the fish muqueca. Love the juices too!"

"Beautiful, charming little restaurant with fantastic service and delicious food. The claypot seafood selections (Muqueca) are truly not to be missed...the fish comes out so moist and delicious! And if you like heat, ask for some of their housemade hot sauce which is also outstanding (great flavor and some serious kick). The waitstaff is also very friend..." Read more

"Husband and I enjoyed Muqueca for dinner. Our server was very friendly. I had the beef stroganoff. Not what I expected at all, but very good. Not being very familiar with Brazilian fare, it surprised me that it had little french fry crunchy things on it. Is that a traditional thing? Doesn't seem like it, but it worked. Husband had the seafood casserol..." Read more

"My favorite restaurant in Inman square.  Often times I take my out of visitors here as it is tough to recreate this coastal Brazillian flavor profile elsewhere.  I order the moqueca or the deep-fried red snapper and ignore the rest of the menu.  I'm impressed by the consistency of the moqueca.  It tastes the same every time (major kudos from me).  The fruit..."

"Went here for a birthday dinner with 6 friends and we had a 8:30 Reservation. Most of the group was late and did not arrive until 9, but Muqueca was very accomadating and understanding! The group was late because parking was an issue; this is not the best location for parking! On to the food... Started off with the fried yucca..so good! I have never had th..." Read more

"I had a Travelzoo voucher for this restaurant and was so excited to try Muqueca with the boy after reading these reviews.Apps: fried yucca and sausage, and the fried frog legs. The yucca was amazing! Nice and crispy and dense. I picked at it all night! The sausage was good but a little salty to eat by itself (the boy had no problem finishing the saus..." Read more

"Great food. Different kind of Brazilian restaurant. Mariscada and Shrimp Muqueca is my favorite. Service can be slow so be patient. Food is worth it! Try Caipirinha with your meal."

The food is reasonably priced, and the service was great."

Golden and crisp on the outside, moist and soft on the inside (not dry at all). Delicious dipping sauce too. Frango passarinho was really good - crisp and dark golden and moist and lots of..."

"Love this place.  Pretty much everything that you order is very tasty.  It is a bit on the pricier end, but it's worth it on a cold evening.  Small downside is that the service is very slow since there seems to be only 2 people serving.  How can a place that serves banana lasagna be anything other then fun times?  :)"

However over the length of the meal the room filled up rapidly with groups of people laughing and talking and enjoying their amazing food. We ordered up a variety of drinks, and mine..." Read more
