"Pete and I and another couple stopped in for dinner on a Friday night; we had made a reservation and when we came in and were led straight to our table, it wasn't full at all. 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

"First time in a Brazilian restaurant and I liked everything I ate! Had the crabcake for appetizer, which was different from the regular crab cake patties. According to our waiter they are the best crabcakes ever! I beg to disagree. I reserve that spot for the crabcakes at the Bluenose Inn in Bar Harbor, Maine.Anyway coming back to Muqueca, the appeti..." Read more

"After they moved to their new location, they had a bumpy time adjusting, and I held off going there for a while. I'm talking, waiting 45 minutes for a table and ordering appetizers so it would be ready by the time we had a table, then waiting 45 minutes after we got a table for our main dishes, when the appetizers never came. And we were starving. To be fair..." Read more

"I come here primarily for the muqueca - seafood stewed with generous portions of tomatoes and onions. I have had all the different combinations of mussel, shrimp, fish and I was never disappointed. This is an absolute must-have comfort food for the long cold winter days of Boston. The stew is served piping hot in a clay(?) pot, and is very yummy eaten with t..." Read more

"The best Brazilian food in Boston.  I've had a few of the entrees and the chicken stroganoff, which was very tasty.  Not a great wine list, but the food is what will bring you back here anyways."

"I went there twice - in 2010 and recently, in 2011. Both times the food was very good and very unusual for me. I had a seafood muqueca and really enjoyed the variety of fish in it: shrimp, fish, and mussels. The waiter from the second visit was Russian, so we got to chat a bit :) The only "bad" thing about this place - both times we had to wait about 20 for..." Read more

"Its a hole in the wall but the food is awesome. The shake is fresh, LIKE VERY FRESH. I don't think they include sugar in it so it may taste a bit plain.I like my drinks with sugar so most likely wont order that again. If you like Chinese Shabu Hot Pot or Korean's Tofu Chigae (that's how I would relate the stews here)- then you will love it HERE! They are..." Read more

"The fried shrimp app is light and fluffy, and the muqueca is very tasty, but pricey. Service has been slow every time I've eaten there: make sure you have enough time to enjoy your lunch."

"Muqueca is seafood overload. It's a nice change from the Brazilian barbeque joints I'm accustomed to (and probably less of a pending heart attack). I started with a blueberry-pomegranate smoothie (b/c smoothies are like crack to my inner Whitney)--ooh that hit the spot. Awesome fruit concoction. While the fried yucca w/ garlic sauce was quit..."

"The mariscada is delicious, and I'm not even big on seafood. It's got lots of big and little shrimp, mussels, and squid, and comes in a yummy coconutty/tomato-y broth. The plain moqueca that it comes with is too salty for my taste. If you get this dish, I'd suggest splitting it with someone because it's a lot of food. Coconut shrimp = yum, calamari wasn'..."

"Right when you walk in you're immediately hit with a fishy smell - except this time around it's a good kind. Seafood enthusiasts would love this place for it has the perfect balance of intense flavor and incredibly well cooked seafood. It's a small restaurant with an incredibly eclectic patronage. At any given time I have seen people of all nationalities s..." Read more

"I haven't been to Brazil, but the foods good. They get really busy, so it's ideal to come early.

We got the muqueca and it was delicious. It's not cheap, but not super expensive either. And as an added bonus, also they don't skimp on the seafood.

I definitely would like to come back and check out the rest of the menu."

Whomp, whomp. Oh well, at least the food was good enough that we won't mind going back!We started out with some juice (more like smoothies), which I r..." Read more
