"So many joyous feelings come to mind when I think of this place. The service is amazing, the decor is very welcoming, and the food is top notch. no matter what you will always have something that speak to your interest. Muqueca illustrates a different streak of food than what many people may be used to or think about when one says "Brazilian" They just exhib..." Read more

"I was so excited to come here after reading all the reviews. I was wildly disappointed. We really should have known better than to eat here - when we walked in on a thursday evening, we were hit with a wall of old fish smell. It smelled like an outdoor fish market in a hot country at night, after all the fishmongers have gone and only the runoff li..." Read more

"Came back to order the Muqueca Completa. The seafood was fresh and it was good... but I like the Mariscada a lot more because of the coconut milk and crab meat!"

"Found this place by accident on my way to another restaurant and decided to give it a try. So glad I did. It's my new favorite restaurant in Cambridge. I had the fish and shrimp moqueca, one of their signature dishes. Absolutely delicious and very filling!!"

"An immensely enjoyable lunch with rockstar Elite Yuk L! And not just because of her sparkling personality... Dat fried yucca. And the moqueca sizzle. Their namesake dish consists hearty, flakey whitefish braised(?) tender and left to marinate in a bubbling stew of tomatoes, peppers and onions, served with a mound of rice and a starchy thick fish gravy on t..."

"Their seafood rice casserole, their spin on the traditional paella, is pretty darn good, and I would definitely come back to eat it again. It tasted similar to the authentic ones I had in Spain, just with a Brazilian twist, and I'm all for it!Unfortunately, Muqueca falls flat on a few of its dishes, namely, its Shrimp and Fish Moqueca and Sirloin Ste..."

"Loved this Brazilian restaurant. It was delicious ! It's a little pricey but worth every penny! I have nothing bad to say about this place. Street parking is the only parking and I watched a car get towed away at the gas station across the street, so take parking seriously around here. Overall, great experience."

"We really liked the smoothies!! However, the soup was not what I expected. It was very creamy and the chorizo and potatoes were all purée. I think it might be better to go into the restaurant next time as opposed to ordering online."

"We went to dinner with another couple with a baby. The food was delicious and the service was stellar. We tried to make a reservation but since it was graduation weekend they didn't have any reservations available. They recommended that we swing by and they would try and make it work. That they did, we were seated in less than 10 minutes. The rest of the a..." Read more

"Muqueca has a very authentic feel and is definitely a place to go if you're with a few adventurous friends, even in a large group, and want to try something new. Don't expect extremely delicate, sophisticated flavors (as I have become accustomed to in Cambridge) but do expect a worthwhile meal. What to get: - Yuccas with their special sauce (with..."

"I had the recommended "complete" seafood stew dish with my friend last night. Unfortunately the stew smelled bad when it arrived and we both could barely eat it. The shrimp was fine but when I had the mussels, I had to spit it out. It was spoiled, not fresh. I believe that was causing the poor odor from the stew. I also noticed that our server was not pre..."

"I'm honestly confused by all the amazing reviews. I would not recommend nor return to this restaurant. Got the fried frog legs ($8), fried diced chicken ($12), and the fish moqueca ($19). The frog legs were alright. Very dry, but admittedly they were supposed to be fried. I would not get this again. They tasted like a leaner/more muscle-y ver..." Read more

"I love this place! I've been twice for lunch and had grilled chicken with rice and beans and the fried yucca with steak tips, both dishes were delish! My fave drink is the Mango Sambo. The atmosphere is comfortable and well lit, and the service is quick and friendly."
