"Really nice little place: I love the blue and orange theme, and the menu is really well chosen although their "veggie dish" signifier applied to dishes with sausage, chicken, and fish in them. (I think it's a very Brazilian take on the term "veggie": it ain't beef.) I had the lasagna de banana--i.e., plantain lasagna. It was super heavy and not really lasag..." Read more

"Dinner at Muqueca was the perfect thing to cheer me up on a rainy, grumpy day. We had the fried yucca, shrimp muqueca, and feijoada, all hearty flavor and deliciousness. The portions were larger than I remembered them being (we probably could have shared a single stew), but that is my only complaint (hardly a complaint) about this small, inviting place run..."

"Rainy day? Have some muqueca. Then go home and cozy up in bed to take a nappie. Perfect day.Deliciousness. The cod capixaba and the shrimp muqueca were very good. Wish there were more plaintain goodness in the capixaba. You may also refill on rice a few times in order to finish the stew (refill does cost extra).Not super cheap, but if you get..." Read more

"Went here with two friends on a whim, because one of the said friends had a gift certificate. The first thing that strikes you is the fantastically multi-colored walls. It's like walking into a rainforest in the dead of Boston winter, and it was freezing (literally) when we were getting off the bus in Inman Square, so the colors hit me like a wake up call: W..."

I adore their fish muqueca and fruit smoothies. The amazing food, brightly-colored dining room, and friendly owners make this place worth the wait."

"Muqueca exists to set the standard for Brazilian food in Boston. Their signature dish, after which the restaurant is named rocked my world. It's a seafood stew served with rice and some other accompaniments. The taste is so rich and good - it's to die for. There does tend to be a wait on the weekends. I put my name down, got a tea at 1369 and came back in a..." Read more

"Went there last weekend for lunch during an out-of-town trip. I've been on a South American food kick lately and this place looked promising.The place is small, colorful, and instantly made me feel like I was on vacation somewhere tropical. A giant plate of fried yucca was brought out as an appetizer, which was addictively good (especially..." Read more

"I know this place gets crowded, so I came on a weekday. Yum! Despite all the hype, Muqueca didn't disappoint.The restaurant is named Muqueca for a reason -- try it! For some reason, even though the price difference is a dollar, the fish and shrimp muqueca is almost twice as big as the shrimp-only muqueca. Fish stew has never tasted so great. I really..."

"I went into Muqueca knowing absolutely nothing about Brazilian food, and I left unable to stop raving about it! If you like seafood and cilantro, your tastebuds will dance and sing with the very first bite here.Got the fried yucca and crabcakes as an appetizer -- the yucca was so lightly fried, it didn't fill me up too much so I couldn't eat my main..."

"We ate lunch here for the first time today, happily ate the leftovers tonight and loved it so much that we're going back for dinner tomorrow. Robust seafood flavors and perfect spicing make this the kind of place that you'll look back on if you move out of the area, remembering the good old days when you could just go to Muqueca. I'm already nostalgic for it..." Read more

"Yes, it's worth the line. Give your name, go to Christina's and eat a small bit of dessert first. Then half an hour later, dive into one of their signature seafood dishes and revel in your brilliance. Collard greens, bomb. Plantains, scrumptious. Smoothies, spectacular. Do you see all the superlatives? Count the number in all these Yelp reviews. Need any m..." Read more

"This place is great. I was in Boston for two separate trips during the summer of 2007. During my first stay is when I found Muqueca. I don't know they name of the name of the neighborhood, but there's lots of Portuguese & Brazilian influences. Muqueca was my first Brazilian food experience, and they didn't disappoint. I went w/ a Brazilian smoothie. I..." Read more

"Really cute restaurant, food is delicious and very flavorful! We had the fried yucca, shrimp bobo, and feijoada. All were wonderful with exciting new flavors. Lots of food, at times a bit rich for us. I can't wait to go back!"
