"Their specialty is called "Muqueca" and its a clay pot with seafood in a broth. You can get it with plantain or tofu."

"The service was great and so was the juice. My steak was a tad stringy and overcooked, but the seasoning and presentation was very well done."

"Everything I have tried here has been fantastic. From the Shrimp Bobo, to the Moqueca, you can't miss. Also, the juices are wonderful and pair well with the clay pot dishes. Don't forget to add a little of the home made hot sauce (in moderation!)"

"Can't say enough about how good this place is. We've lived in the area for a while and have walked by it remarking to ourselves, "This place looks interesting", but never had the motivation to walk in. Well, tonight we decided to give it a try. Dude.. it was outrageously good. We had the moqueca, a plate of veggies, and flan for dessert. All amazing. F..." Read more

"Wow. I think this place ranks in my top 10 restaurants. The Moqueca Completa is out of this world. And the signature drink (caipirinha) is deceptively strong yet you'd never know by the taste. Amazing."

"Fantastic food. Good sized portions. The feijoa, the moqueca and the steak (picañha) were particularly good. Single person bathroom was clean and well lit."

"The cocktails are made with low alcoholic content, which for a brazilian kaipirinha makes it a little bit awkward."

"Great place. My favorite is their signature dish--the moquecca--made with fish, tomatoes, awesome spices, rice-- always served piping hot. Comes to the table bubbling in a clay pot. Can be a little noisy--but I fel it adds to the charm. On the wall is a story of how they make the special cookware in Brazil. People are friendly."

"PheNOMenal! I didn't know how I would feel about a fish stew since I'm not used to that kind of dish, but the Mariscada was absolutely outstanding. It had shrimp, crabmeat, mussels and squid in a broth with tomato, onion and coconut milk. The flavors were incredible. I also tried one of the meat dishes, but I far preferred the seafood. The place itself i..." Read more
