"We went to Mueque for the first time tonight. To be honest, the service was really slow (and it took a long time for the wait staff to even decide where we should sit, and the place wasn't crowded). I said to my friend, "the food had better be great." It was. Really, really great. Tender, delicious cuts of meat, huge portions, delicious sauces. Well worth..." Read more

Fictional Friend- Oh, I LOVE Brazilian BBQ Me- Well I do too, but this place isn't a BBQ place it is more of a seafood place and their namesake specialty dish is a stew like dish with all types of veggies and seafood that comes out boiling in these..."

"An escape from the ordinary....this colorful restaurant really makes you feel like you are in an exotic oasis. Start with the fried yucca and a fruit juice. I followed this with the jumbo shrimp curry which was delicious. Friends tried the Muqueca , the Feijouda and the Mariscada ...everyone enjoyed their meals---six out of six- it was a hit!

"This is a little cozy brazilian restaurant has a colorful decoration that is reminiscent of its origins. The place itself may feel a little tight (there's only space enough for something like 7 tables, though I heard from the waiter that they are soon to be moved closeby to a bigger place), but this also helps to create an intimate environment.

"The place is small and very crowded. I believe we waited about 20 mins for a table. The service was ok, and there was a really long wait for the food. I take it the food is made to order because everyone seemed to be waiting a long time for food. The food was absolutely worth the wait. Fresh, amazing, and large portions. We could have shared one orde..." Read more

"Well.. We went to the restaurant only to find "Coming soon" board on it's window. Shoking, ain't it ? Especially so when you go during snowy rain that's boston's gods special weather. Thankfully, the staff who are working at the restaurant directed us to a little establishment which is mother of this one which is going to come soon. So, we walked a block f..." Read more

"Really good. I'm not going to try to remember the brazillian names of the dishes - I'll just butcher them - but they were meat and seafood stews. They were great, the fruit frappé was too (not too sweet, lots of passionfruit) and finished with possibly the best flan ever. And the service was informal and friendly, just the way it should be. I want to give i..." Read more

"Yucca - a must try.Crispy exterior delicious mouth warming interior. We added sausage, but it's not necessary. Lasagana with sweet banana - WOW mouth melting 3 different kinds of cheese, with perfectly made sweet, soft platians. Though the cheese wasn't the best cheese on the earth - still a great dish. Now for the Muqueca - we ordered the fish/shrimp one..." Read more

"Muqueca is a must for those who have never tried Brazilian food.  Its dishes are representative of some of the most popular foods in Brazil (I'm Brazilian), and it's cheap!I recommend1) The fried yucca (mandioca in Portuguese) but think they should be eaten without the sauce and with extra salt. That way you can actually taste it!2) Rice and..." Read more

"Wow. Delicious.We decided to pick a new restaurant for dinner last night so we headed to Cambridge St., drove by some places, parked the car and walked to Muqueca. We made a fantastic decision. We got shrimp patties as an appetizer and they were great, very flavorful. For dinner we got a side of fried plantains, I ordered shrimp bobo and my fiance go..." Read more

"I would recommend take out as the restaurant itself is not particularly nice, but the food is ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC, and the servers are very efficient and polite. It'd be better if they had more seating, and could serve caipirinhas and beer. Juices were delicious, the mariscada really is delicious."

"This place probably does really deserve 5 stars, but I'm sticking with 4 only because the Fried Yuka was a let down; especially after other reviewers got my expectations so high. The fried yuka was just too hard - like eating an uncooked potato. That said, everything else we had was absolutely fantastic. The signature dishes (the seafood stews) are out of..." Read more

I've been here twice, and both times thought that the food was really good and the ambiance bright and tropical (very unlike the Cambridge/Boston area).

"it's delicious.  

we had fried snapper, sweet plantain, brazilian summer, ...  and the mango mousse was so rich.   the shrimp muqueca was the least favorite.  

the waitresses were friendly.  the place is tiny and packed, so be prepared to wait and get rushed out.  i guess that's part of the experience, and it's well worth it."
