"I went to Muqueca with my family last week-end and the adults shared 3 dishes: the Feijoada, their Plantain Lasagna and a "Muqueca Completa". Of the three, the only one I was familiar with was the Faijoada, and I must say this was the best I have had so far. The Muqueca was also very good while the Plantain Lasagna, although a bit heavy with all th..." Read more

"I love this place!!! You need to go a few times to try the muquecas, the feijoada, the steak and the strogonof... and also make sure you try the fresh fruit juices while you are there.This is true authentic Brazilian food, not like the Midwest Grill that has a fake churrascaria set-up (that used to be across the street, but now muqueca moved further..."

"So Good. I love Indian, Thai, Mexican and Caribbean food and I have several go to places, however yesterday I wanted to try something new. This place hit the spot! Best food I've had in a Boston restaurant in years. The plantain Moqueca and the "must try" Mariscada (shrimp, mussels, tomato and onions in a spicy coconut milk reduction) was am..." Read more

"First time having Brazilian food - so I don't have much to compare it to, but as far as a meal is concerned, this is as good as it gets. The restaurant was clean and nicely decorated, the wait staff was very friendly (kid-friendly too) and willing to explain the unfamiliar dishes.From the juice bar, I had the Blue Cazu, which the waitress explained had a..."

"If I could give this place 6/5 stars, I would. This place is one of the saving graces for the terrible food scene that poor Cambridge has to offer. We came here for Sunday lunch, and as soon as the doors opened at noon, five other groups came in. The decor was really nice - did they recently remodel? We started off with fried yucca served with ranch, which..." Read more

"Walked over here from Harvard Square. First time eating Brazilian. I had the mussel muqueca and my friend had fish muqueca. We finished off the meal with some flan and fried plantains. Yum! I left feeling satisfied/full, but not in that uncomfortable/gross way.
Thanks Yelp for a great recommendation!"

"I really enjoyed this place. First off, you have to try their fresh fruit juice; Their pina colada and Tropical Freeze (Banana, Pineapple, Orange Juice, Cashew & Passion Fruit) is REALLY fresh & well worth the money. Their seafood is really fresh - their fish was delicious! We ordered a fish/rice plate and a tripe stew. Overall, everything was really wel..." Read more

"My review, as relayed to me by my boyfriend in the car on the way home from dinner (imagine high girlie voice and crazy hand motions): "Oh my gosh, I can't believe this restaurant. It was soooooo good. I mean, I read on Yelp that it would be good, but it was soooooo good. I had the Shrimp Moqueca, and my boooyfriend had the Mariscada. Mine was a little..." Read more

"Got back from Brazil a few weeks ago ... I was jittery, cold, difficulty staying awake ... yup, definite diagnosis of Brazil withdrawal syndrome. My friend prescribed dinner at Muqueca. We experimented with the fried frog legs ... tasted like chicken to my unsophisticated palate. The seafood muqueca was excellent, full of bubbly goodness, great spices, and l..." Read more

"I've been here a lot over the years. Muqueca is great Brazilian seafood. Everything on the menu is flavorful and incredible.My favorite is the mariscada - incredible. I often add in a fish and shrimp moqueca - which I don't find as tasty, but is still really good.I've also had crab cakes, yucca, coconut shrimp, steak tips with onions and fries, and..." Read more

"The food was absolutely delicious! I ordered the seafood casserole with rice! I highly recommend this dish.
The place is a bit small, but we ended up waiting for just 10-15 minutes on a Friday night. So, all in all, I enjoyed the atmosphere and had a yummy dinner."

"We were out for dinner to this place on a freaking cold Winter Friday and were welcomed with a warm blow of heat from the space heaters hanging from the wall as soon as we entered the place.It's exactly what we expected. A small, packed, foodie, hole in a wall joint with very friendly waitresses and good looking food. We tried everything recommended by t..." 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
