"So many joyous feelings come to mind when I think of this place. The service is amazing, the decor is very welcoming, and the food is top notch. no matter what you will always have something that speak to your interest. Muqueca illustrates a different streak of food than what many people may be used to or think about when one says "Brazilian" They just exhib..." Read more

"Came back to order the Muqueca Completa. The seafood was fresh and it was good... but I like the Mariscada a lot more because of the coconut milk and crab meat!"

"Found this place by accident on my way to another restaurant and decided to give it a try. So glad I did. It's my new favorite restaurant in Cambridge. I had the fish and shrimp moqueca, one of their signature dishes. Absolutely delicious and very filling!!"

"An immensely enjoyable lunch with rockstar Elite Yuk L! And not just because of her sparkling personality... Dat fried yucca. And the moqueca sizzle.

"We went to dinner with another couple with a baby. The food was delicious and the service was stellar. We tried to make a reservation but since it was graduation weekend they didn't have any reservations available. They recommended that we swing by and they would try and make it work. That they did, we were seated in less than 10 minutes. The rest of the a..." Read more

"I love this place! I've been twice for lunch and had grilled chicken with rice and beans and the fried yucca with steak tips, both dishes were delish! My fave drink is the Mango Sambo. The atmosphere is comfortable and well lit, and the service is quick and friendly."

"I would highly recommend making a reservation beforehand if you plan on coming during prime dinner times, as this place packs up pretty quickly and the place itself is not the most spacious. Being in a large group allowed us to try many of their dishes, and I was so glad that I did! Each of us got one of their smoothies, and I got to try the mango samba, m..." Read more

"This place is a gem! The juices are good and the Muqueca Completa is where it's at. It is a savory stew of boneless fish, shrimp, and mussels with tomato and onion. It's served with soft, fluffy rice and comes with a side of delicious fish-based sauce to go over the rice. The Blue Caju and the mango, papaya juices are delicious. It's a great post-workout d..."

"The food is very good. I was here to celebrate my father's birthday. The server we had was great, he made us laugh and he helped us with the menu. The place is fairly small so come early. You will be full when you leave here."

Our fried plantain appetizer was delicious, my wife's Fish Moqueca was delicious, my Shrimp Bobo was delicious, and the flan we split for dessert was so good we decided to get two other desserts to go. The entrees were a rema..." Read more

"I am Brazilian and I love good food.
Muqueca sure is my favorite Brazilian restaurant around Boston. Beats Fogo de Chão, in Copley Square, with both better service, authenticity and a way more delicious menu and Oasis, in Medford, with better service and organization.

Keep up the great work meus amigos. I'll go there every time I have a chance to."
