"I ate some good things here: a bowl of beans and pig meat all spiced up and hearty, a simple, onion-y, fish-heavy seafood stew with a clear broth, and a similar one with coconut milk broth, fish, and mussels, and also a kind of crazy good crab cake.I also drank too many of those dangerously cheap caipirinhas. But so it goes.I had a bit of an..." Read more

"Excellent Brazilian stews. I spent two weeks in Bahia and this is comparable to the many muquecas I had there. Highly recommended."

"There are only a few reasons why you might take a pass on Muqueca, but they weigh heavy with us. We went only once, two years ago, and we've never been back. Why on earth is that?It's a little pricey for how filling it is (or isn't) and my husband left hungry. Oh dear. It's just tasty home cooking. I make a fish stew similar to these, and it..." Read more

"I was too full from a previous engagement (dinner) so I barely tasted the food, but it was pretty delicious. Love the serving bowls and the atmosphere of the restaurant! I'm giving them a 5 star review because Muqueca was GREAT in accommodating our party of about 20 people... Their service was great, and they were super kind and friendly the whole ti..." Read more

"Delicious! Yelpers recommended this restaurant for my birthday dinner, as I wanted a place that accepted reservations, had a liquor license, and amazing cuisine that wasn't standard American fare. Drinks: Some people ordered glasses of wine and beer. The rest of us shared a $19 pitcher (the menu called it a jar) of sangria, complete with pieces of fruit in..." Read more

"My husband and I have gotten take-out a bunch of times from Muqueca and we dined here once with friends. A few of the times we got take-out via Seamless they were really confused/disorganized and couldn't figure out that we had already paid. I think another patron mentioned that in a review. So now I make sure to bring my cell phone so I can show them the in..." Read more

"The food here was very good, but I think my expectations were set too high because of the reviews here. Nothing really blew me away, and the service was so-so. I had the shrimp and fish moqueca bahia style (with coconut milk, but you couldn't really taste it). My boyfriend had the whole fried red snapper, which I thought was better than my dish. The rice was..." Read more

"My Brazilian coworker raves about this place and comes regularly with her family, so I wanted to give it a shot! Let me start by saying that this was my first experience with Brazilian food other than steakhouses, so I can't comment on the authenticity of Muqueca. I'm just comparing the experience to the various other Latin and European foods that I've had...." Read more

"I will be very straight forward about this one. Food: fantastic. Brazilian seafood stews in clay pots with coconut milk, veggies, and plantains. Fresh as can be. Trust me, you'll love it. Favorite dish: this is touch because there are few, but if you forces me I would have to go with the Fish Capixaba. Ambience: nautical? slightly on the cheesy-side but..." Read more

"Nice medium decor and ambience. Not high end fancy like Fogo do Chao, but not hole in the wall low end either. Wife and I liked their caipirinha drinks, and they have milk for kids. Good $6.95 fried fish sticks and fries plate for kids with rice and beans. Wife and I liked the fish moqueca and moqueca completa dinners in the hot clay pots for dinner. Th..." Read more
