"Had a lovely dinner there with my parents after waiting in line for 45 long minutes (something that is apparently common at this establishment). I had never had Brazilian food before although I've had Portuguese and Spanish food before. I was familiar with linguiça and yucca but had never had muqueca - on the other hand I've had my fair share of caipirinhas...." Read more

"Sweet heavens, my senses play off each other when I relive this meal. Mouth waters, palms to my cheeks, 'mmmm' guttural sounds, wide excited eyes. Maybe it was because I was hungover. Maybe it was because I planned the dinner 5 days in advance. No excuses- I enjoyed every bite here (and the leftovers today in the office - totally had to cover my mouth fr..." Read more

"I was blown away by how good the food was. I had the Moqueca Completa, which is a brilliant fish stew that has a delicious sofrito-based broth. To hell with my Irish heritage, this to me is perfect comfort food. I could eat this in any weather and feel like it hit the spot. The kids had fish and chips. The batter had a great flavor, and while I'm not sure wh..." Read more

"This restaurant almost falls on my way home from work and for close to 5 years now I have been looking at its signboard skeptically from a distance. Muqueca - didn't ring any bells (turns out, it's Brazilian and pretty well known actually!). Then one day I noticed that the restaurant had relocated a few blocks and now fell directly on my route. Since Anjali..." Read more

"I love this place. My fav is the Muqueca and plantains. I'm sad it moved a couple blocks further from me but I'm happy they are expanding and their new place looks beautiful. I have to check it out!"

"I love this place. I first went there when I worked down the street and was very small. I recently returned to the new bigger and better location, and not only are the new digs great - but the food was even better than I remember. Nice and light and packed with flavor. Wonderful menu, wonderful service. Clean bathroom too - bonus!"

"The last time I had feijoada was during an impromptu samba party at Bar do Mineiro in Santa Teresa in Rio de Janeiro... That was one of the great dining experiences of my life, so you know Muqueca is doing something right that I've given it five stars... I'm not brasilian, but as far I can tell, Muqueca is the genuine artifact... The feijoada is sublime and..." Read more

"After reading many great reviews about Muqueca on yelp, I finally ventured over and had dinner there last night. I have to say that the restaurant lived up to all expectations. We started with the fried yucca. The yucca was not overly oily and fried to perfection. I found their special house sauce just average. We had had the mango samba fruit juice which..." Read more

"The hostess was kind to seat us even though we didn't have a reservation, just cautioned that we needed to quickly order since our table was reserved in 1 hr and 15 minutes... This fortunately was more than enough time to have a wonderful meal... We tried both the muqueca completa and the seafood casserole. The seafood casserole puts the paella to shame,..." Read more

"I'm so happy that Muqueca moved to the larger space and is now only 2 blocks from my apt! After multiple visits, I prefer to order family style so I can have a bit of everything. The plantain lasagna is a sweet cheesy counterpoint to any muqeuca, but is way too rich for me to eat as my main dish. Definitely get a fresh squeezed juice from the juice bar..." Read more

"I love this place and every single person I've ever brought here for a meal - and I always bring out-of-town guests who visit - love this place. They've just moved to larger and swankier digs, but the homey and comforting atmosphere remains the same, as do the outstanding muqueca dishes which are tasty, tasty, tasty. The ingredients are nothing unusual - shr..." Read more

"first off, don't expect to be in and out of here within an hour. the food takes time to prepare so you'll be sitting around watching other people eat before you get the chance to. If you're starving, go next door for a bag of chips to hold you over. You'll need it. This place did not disappoint. I had the Fish and Shrimp Muqueca. It's a seafood stew served..." Read more
