"Got the fried yucca and the shrimp moqueca. Both were very good. The yucca is like fries with ranch. Moqueca had a lot of the tomato mixture in it, could use more rice. The food is a tad bland but a little salt and pepper helped. Not spicy but I did see some kind of spice on the table. Pina colada was good. My group of ten all really liked the food. Nice atm..."

"Muqueca is a great establishment with great service, good food and a nice spot. The waitstaff was very pleasant and my party of 4 never wanted for anything. The food options were varied, interesting and quite tasty. I opted for the fish and shrimp muqueca. They bring your food out in a clay pot where the broth is still cooking the ingredients. It makes for a..." 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..."

"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

"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..."

"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..."

"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
