"Love the food here. The house special "muqueca", mariscada or fried snapper are all excellent.  Great food for the price.  Wait can be long so make a reservation.  They won't give you a table unless all parties are present."

"Good paella in a pinch, but nothing to write home about. Taste of dishes reminds me a bit of a chain restaurant, as if the meal was mass-produced. I don't believe the restaurant is part of a chain, however."

"Nice food! We had frog legs, fried yucca and shrimp muqueca with caipirinhas. The place is small and cozy with brightly colored paintings and decorations. Worth the visit."

"This place is a gem. After I moved out of the Boston area I tried to find another restaurant like it but can't! As a seafood lover, the mariscada was my favorite. Yucca and beef appetizer was great as well.

The location is a bit further out in Inman, but absolutely worth it."

"Absolutely delicious! I had never had Brazilian food before, and I am sold! We had two orders of the seafood Muqueca and one of the shrimp bobo, which was more than enough for four hungry people. Both dishes were unique and delicious, and we couldn't decide which was better! The drinks from their juice bar were also excellent."

"Outstanding ! Been there many times and every time is so perfect !!! The food is absolutely delicious, I just want to eat everything on the menu. I recommend the shrimp on passion fruit sauce as an appetizer and the shrimp and fish moqueca as an entree. Or choose anything you want, it will be delicious still."

"Great service and amazing food. We had the Salad with Apples, Muqueca Complete, and Chocolate Flan! a Great meal, and an amazing find. Great service even as we walked in at about the same time as a group of 20- yikes! We had no problem being seated, and our kids meals were served up first to avoid any meltdowns. The rest of our dishes came promptly afterwar..." Read more

"And I thought Brazilian food would be just meat! This one turned out to be mostly a fish menu. I had a delicious stew with shrimp. The stew's name is eponymous (what a great term): muqueca. Also had fried yucca, which tasted like potatoes, as a table appetizer. Service was friendly, helpful. It's a small, colorful, inviting, fairly noisy restaurant that's on..." Read more

"A friend took me to this little gem in Cambridge. It's a little bit out of the way, but worth a visit. Their specialty is called "Muqueca" and its a clay pot with seafood in a broth. You can get it with plantain or tofu. I went for tofu... yeah right, plantains! I'm dominican, gotta have plantains in my meal :) You come here for the food, the decor is plai..." Read more

"Pretty good Brazilian food, though the drinks on offer are limited. I've been to Brazil many times and am a lover of Brazilian food. The food here is better than most -- the muqueca actually tastes like it does in Brazil, and the appetizers are pretty similar to what you would find in a restaurant in Rio. The cod balls are delicious! The only complaint is..." Read more

"I was so excited to discover this place on my birthday. Clay pot stews brimming with the freshest seafood. Think warm, ocean fresh bivalves and calamari and shrimp surrounded by a tomato-lime-cilantro broth. Even a plantain and tofu versions for vegetarians that was so good, I might get it next time. (And that's saying something, as I love seafood). Not m..." Read more

"Wicked good- different from the bras steak houses. Much more vegetarian and seafood friendly. Food tastes hand made and fresh- great selection, fair prices. I'd come here any day over one of the steak houses. I wish they had pao de queijo though."

"This place offers very unique food, which is nice in the time of burgers and pizza. But just beware that there are A TON of fried options here! As in, it's almost impossible to order an appetizer that isn't fried!We started with the fried yucca, which was nicely cooked and the sauce that came with it was a good, light accompaniment. We also had a fri..." Read more

"Authentic Brazilian seafood with comfortable seating and fair prices. They also have a lot of dishes from the interior of Brazil. The servings are generous. If you're looking for Brazilian BBQ, this is not the place for you."
