"Good food, high quality ingredients. Besides the muqueca, the feijoada is a also a good choice The place could be a little bigger, sometimes you have to wait a while to get a table and you when you leave you notice that the smell of the food impregnates all your clothes."

"Oooh, Mu. Que. Ca. Your pina colada smoothie last night was made for me in a record 12 seconds instead of your normal waiting time of 3 minutes. Ooh. Ooh. Ooof. Mu. Que. Ca??? Something was amiss. It tasted sour and even Kenny (the poorest of teachers) couldn't even drink it. Aye aye aye! Dios Mio, Mu Quec, what happened? Mi no comprendo, but I wil..." Read more

"Muqueca is delish and cute as a button. It's tiny but our group of five was there on a Wednesday and had no trouble getting seated. The moquecas and plantains are amazing but the best thing by far is the seafood casserole. It has this unbelievable coconutty saffrony flavor and I was so sad I hadn't ordered it.There's no alcohol, but the fruit smoothi..." Read more

"I came here a few days ago with a wonderful group of yelpers, and was very pleasantly suprised. The exterior and interior of the place aren't terribly inspiring, and it's an extremely tiny place, but that's all I really have to say about Muqueca negatively. They don't serve alcohol, but they make up for it with their large smoothie selection. Now, the main..." Read more

"The seafood muquecas (stews) offered at Muqueca are a warm, fuzzy blanket of food love on a cold day.  It's totally worth the walk on a chilly night to pick up comfort food to go, if, like me, you're too cheap (and too close by) to pay Dining In to bring it to you.Truth be told, go to Muqueca anytime you're craving a yummy seafood fix.  The stews are..."

"If you don't mind waiting (the place is very small and only has about 15 tables) the food is excellent as well as the service. Everything was extremely fresh and well prepared, but it is a small kitchen so be prepared to wait a little while for the food to get to you table. Also, the portions are quite large, so plan to have enough to take home with you!..." Read more

"i suspect this place has gained a cult following from both Brazilian expats and hungry students both, so this review might be superfluous. But yeah - brazilian/caribbean fish/seafood stews, as well as some brazilian dishes.

It was indeed delicious. We started out with fried yucca, which were lightly fried and not too oily. T..." Read more

"This is a very small business. Very cozy, cute interrier and friendly staff. It makes you feel like u r eating at a kichen in a brazillian family. It makes you feel warm. The portion here is huge. We, 4 of us, each ordered a main course and we packed half of the meal home. It is delicious but each main course taste some what the same. However, the fried fish..." Read more

I have had Brazilian food a ton of times but not at this restaurant and not specifically the muqueca dish.The place is tiny and cozy. Has seating for 20 people -tops.

"This place is tiny, so get there early, or you'll be waiting out in the cold for a table.  Once you're seated, it's definitely worth the wait.  I had the Chicken and Shrimp Moqueca, and it was perfect.  The sauce was flavorful, the rice was fluffy, and the portions were enormous.The food itself is worth five stars, but I took one off for slow service..."
