"I went there twice - in 2010 and recently, in 2011. Both times the food was very good and very unusual for me. I had a seafood muqueca and really enjoyed the variety of fish in it: shrimp, fish, and mussels. The waiter from the second visit was Russian, so we got to chat a bit :) The only "bad" thing about this place - both times we had to wait about 20 for..." Read more

"OMG So Good! Authenitic Brazilian food! I'm in love with their seafood stew, it's perfect. I've had to wait a while, the last two times I went there but it's always so worth, it... I just grab a Nova Schin from the bar (which has like, 4 seats) but I can't complain about this place at all. The food is awesome and so is the staff :)"

"Quite possibly my favorite restaurant in the Boston area. I always bring my friends visiting from out-of-town here. Their food is amazing, their smoothies are great and it's a good deal for the quality of seafood they are serving."

"Made reservations for 7:30PM on a Tuesday. Place was somewhat busy with 3-4 tables open. As others have mentioned, this place is pretty authentic including the waitstaff. Service was ok, nothing special. Our waters were always being filled. Appetizer/sides Plantains...can't go wrong with this. Fried Yucca...ok. Entrees Seafood Rice Casserole...good/r..." Read more

"I've eaten at my fair share of Brazilian places (ok, ok. mostly AYCE bbq style places) and I have to say this place is amongst the best I've had.  it also helps that their hot sauce is crazy, crazy spicy...be prepared to pay for it now (and later at twice the intensity) if you overdo it with the hot sauce!  that, of course, didnt happen to me.  no really, it..."

"Wasn't that impressed with my shrimp muqueca. In fact, it didn't seem like it was anything unique. The big plate of rice was disappointing, but more so was that my bf had the fish muquecue and was sick for a good 20 hrs afterwards. We won't be going back. Not worth the hype, sadly."

"I love any place where the people that work there actually represent the culture of the food. So A+ there, Muqueca. But I don't like paying way more money for food that really isn't as flavorful as I feel it should be, especially for all of the lovely stew/muqueca options that you have here! Even with our buywithme we still spent $40 of our money for just..." Read more
