"This is one of my favorite restaurants in the Boston area that I can't find anything similar to anywhere else (in the area or in any other major city). The muquecas are absolute comfort food that is especially good on a cold day. It's a small restaurant so the wait can sometimes be a while. Since there's no waiting area, it means waiting outside."

"This is the best Brazilian restaurant in MA! I have been going for many years and am happy they moved to their larger location. The service is great and everything on the menu is delicious, especially all the sides!!"

"Have been here a couple of times and it surprised me to see that, after the place was featured on a TV show of neighborhood restaurants, it was packed last time I was there, so if you plan to hit this place on a Saturday night make sure to call ahead and reserve a space. Decorated with colorful paintings and fish nets to reflects some of the atmosphere of th..." Read more

"Shared the cod patties for appetizer, and the Fejoada Completa and the Muqueca Completa (Bahian style). Both were delicious. The restaurant is very cute and casual inside. Comfortable with children; added bonus is their bathroom has a changing table. Service was very friendly. Street parking only, but we had no problem on an early weekend night."

"A second fryer dedicated for gluten free!! I was in fried plantain heaven!! The very knowledgeable staff were also quick to inform me that the muqueca, with it's accompanying rice and muqueca "gravy" (thickened with cassava flour), were all gluten free! It was a nice feast! Ready to go back and try more options on the menu!"

"Their bacalhau (lightly fried salted codfish) balls has significantly higher mashed potato content than fish. But it was good. In a potatoey type of way.If you're looking for Bahia style moqueca stew- with coconut milk then oops wrong place. They serve Espirito Santo style (without coconut milk). Which is pretty good too.~ $22 for a moqueca c..." Read more

There were plenty of parties eating but there was no wait in getting a table. The menu is almost all seafood, which was fine with us, I think the only items were a co..." Read more

"If you're looking for fresh, flavorful, Latin American inspired seafood, this is the place to go. We had reservations for 8pm on a Thursday and were promptly seated even though we arrived late and the place was fairly crowded. Cute colorful decor, an atmosphere and waitstaff that are warm and inviting. Now let's cut to the chase. We ordered the Fish Muque..." Read more

"This restaurant has great food but the service was so terrible I can't in good conscience give it a good review. Judging from the other reviews, our experience was not an aberration. Our server made a big fuss that we were a party of 7, not 6, as one our friends has a four week old baby. I asked for an extra glass three times to three different servers and..." Read more

"You guys know that they moved down the street to a bigger place, right? This was my first time eating Brazilian food, So I don't know if it's authentic or not, but what I had was really good. We shared Fried Yucca as an appetizer and the Fish with Shrimp Moqueca for our main meal. I enjoyed every bite of it and I will definitely come to try other things off..." Read more

"Shrimp muqueca is the best thing I've had anywhere. Fantstic kale. Great fried plantains. Don't order the Brazilian national dish - it's not great.
The gravy is useless to me.
Always good to make reservations if it's an evening meal."
