"Delicious!! If you are a seafood/shellfish lover, this is the place for you! Definitely get a starter, the moqueca takes a while so you'll want some munchies. We got the fried yucca, they come with a delicious garlic sauce. For entrees we shared the fish and shrimp moqueca and the black beans and pork "brazilian national dish". The moqueca was TO DIE FOR..." Read more

"Pretty sure Muqueca just moved into my top ten favorite restaurants. Casual, small tables, not particularly warm and cozy, but food? Seriously awesome. Excellent service, and friendly. Skip the appetizers, go straight for the Moqueca. We had an order of the coconut shrimp that was a little over fried and some cod patties that were good. Moqueca is a Brazi..." Read more

"Yucca!!! Soooo good... You better get you some of that Muqueca too. What exactly are you doing at this place if you dont? Good desserts too! P.S. This review is an understatement... I'm feeling kind of lazy after going review crazy today, so give me a fricken break -- I'm out of steam. Why don't you just go here, eat the damn good food, and write a..." Read more

"Just went there for lunch. We had the cod patties and coconut shrimp for appetizer and mariscada and moqueca completa for entre with fried plantains on the side. All were very good and the mariscada and moqueca were absolutely delicious. For three people, we left stuffed and have another meal or two left. This was probably the best food we've had since movin..." Read more

"What can I say that hasn't already been described here? I'll just comment that.First off, come a bit early. I met some friends here on a Thursday at 7pm. I walked in at 6:50 and it was EMPTY. But by 7:15, it was TOTALLY PACKED. Literally not 1 seat left except the bar. Luckily we squeezed in to the last table. So come early, and don't be put off if y..." Read more

"My friend who is from Brazil first took me to this place a few months ago and since then I have been 4 times. The restaurant is very small but they will take a reservation so call ahead for a table. The drink menu is not very expansive, HOWEVER they make an amazing capriana and they do have a few good wines and some beer to choose from. The cuisine is nor..." Read more

"Awesome clay pot cookery of fresh seafood and vegetables served with enchanting, searing habanero sauce. Reasonably priced, parking around back, and nice decor. A winner!"

"Oh. My. Goodness. So awesome!I had the mussel and fish moqueca with a side of fried plaintains. The plantains were so delicious; the moqueca was totally ridiculous. I've never had moqueca before and I know I'll be going back as often as I can afford. It was in a tasty, but sort of thin, broth, chock full of mussels - I was expecting maybe 5-10 musse..."

"Amazing, authentic and earthy food. A must for any seafood lover who enjoys traditional ethnic fare unlike anything served elsewhere. This is NOT your typical Brazilian buffet/BBQ restaurant. A regional cuisine from coastal southern Brazil. Don't be afraid to ask what everything is. The flavors are just wonderful and the staff is friendly and welcoming. It'..." Read more

"I had been wanting to try out Muqueca for over a year. I'd heard good things. I'd never tried Brazilian food but loved seafood and paella, so it seemed appetizing. But from where I lived in Mission Hill, it was quite a trek to Inman Square. I kept thinking about it, but it never quite worked out. This past May I moved to Inman Square. Suddenly Muqueca was..."

"This place is amazing! The food is out of this world, delicious, unpretentious and inexpensive, vibe is very nice and so are the staff. Do yourself a favor and check it out, and don't forget to ask for their special homemade hot sauce to go with whatever your main order is."

"Went here on my 5th wedding anniversary. The wait staff volunteered to put my flowers in the refrigerator to keep them fresh! Service was very, very good. We had the fried yucca appetizer (good) and my husband had the fish and shrimp moqueca (also good). I decided to try their chef specialty - lasagne de banana. This was sweet bananas in a rich and savor..." Read more

"This was my first time at Muqueca, and first time at a Brazilian restaurant of this kind. They just moved to a bigger place down the street in Inman, and were packed on a Sunday night, which I think speaks for itself. "Brazilian fish stew" just doesn't have much of a ring to it, but man, it was the most awesome thing I've eaten in a long time..." Read more
