"Solid. It is such a good feeling when you try a place on a whim and it turns out to be a great experience. Thats what happened last night at Muqueca. I acknowledge the comments of many regarding the potentially long wait for seating and slow service. This is a small place and it seemed like they only had a couple people working. We were able to sit down righ..." Read more

"Awesome Brazilian food. I've been to Muqueca twice now. I love the interior which is unassuming and painted in bright colors with photographs on the wall. The place is definitely small. Which is rough if you want to eat with 6 people, but I think sets a great atmosphere. The first time, my group of four had to wait around 20 min for a table. The seco..." Read more

"Charming, small & cozy with great people-watching windows onto Inman Square. I went on my first day in Cambridge and it was my first taste of Brazilian food and I loved it! We had the seafood rice casserole (yummy! and HUGE - leftovers for lunch the next day) and the "Feijoada Completa" which is slow cooked meat and beans, fried plaintains and a..." Read more

"woooooooooooooooooowwwwwwwwwwwwieeeeee This was a good meal. Actually it felt like two meals. I'm prone to overdoing it, stuffing myself silly and then having to go for a run the next morning - but here is where I really overdid it. And who can blame me? Amazing Brazilian/Angolan fish stews, served with fried yucca and plantains. All in generous portions. A..." Read more

"Wow - this place is exceptional. Must try the yucca appetizer, the calamari and the mariscada. The service was pretty friendly - and we were there on a very crowded saturday night. Don't bother if you don't have reservations. We stood waiting for an hour. But it was worth it. For dessert, we had the passion fruit something which was deelish - very sweet an..." Read more

"Amazing! Their service, spices and food are absolutely amazing. The calamari was really good, very crunchy. The crab cake was to die for, like nothing I have ever had. Then we had Feijoada which was a little salty but went well with the rice. Most of the things are family style. I would suggest making reservations or arriving early because this place is alwa..."

"This food is adventurous and great. Perfect for seafood lovers. Go when it's not crowded. If you think the prices for the entrees are somewhat high ($10-$20 an entree), please realize that you can easily split them. Indeed, they seem intended for splitting. And c'mon people, live without the booze, get some exotic fresh fruit juice, and go to Bukowski's or s..." Read more
