"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!!"

"Their seafood rice casserole, their spin on the traditional paella, is pretty darn good, and I would definitely come back to eat it again. It tasted similar to the authentic ones I had in Spain, just with a Brazilian twist, and I'm all for it!Unfortunately, Muqueca falls flat on a few of its dishes, namely, its Shrimp and Fish Moqueca and Sirloin Ste..."

"We really liked the smoothies!! However, the soup was not what I expected. It was very creamy and the chorizo and potatoes were all purée. I think it might be better to go into the restaurant next time as opposed to ordering online."

"Muqueca has a very authentic feel and is definitely a place to go if you're with a few adventurous friends, even in a large group, and want to try something new. Don't expect extremely delicate, sophisticated flavors (as I have become accustomed to in Cambridge) but do expect a worthwhile meal. What to get: - Yuccas with their special sauce (with..."

"I'm honestly confused by all the amazing reviews. I would not recommend nor return to this restaurant. Got the fried frog legs ($8), fried diced chicken ($12), and the fish moqueca ($19). The frog legs were alright. Very dry, but admittedly they were supposed to be fried. I would not get this again. They tasted like a leaner/more muscle-y ver..." 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."

"Delicious. I told my friend I never had Brazilian food before and was surprised with some Muqueca. We had Moqueca de Peixe and a bean sauce that was to die for. The fish was perfectly stewed in a yellow sauce with all of the garlic and onions you could want. One entree is enough for two people to go for seconds a few time. They don't scrimp on the food...."

"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."

"This place doesn't deserve to have visitors. The service is very slow and they are not gentle at all. THE FOOD IS NOT EVEN BRAZILIAN FOOD. I am part Brazilian and the foods had no taste...It was quite offensive to Brazilian culture. Even my six year old cousin who could do so much better with preparing the food. And what about the FEIJOADA? GUYS GO TO BRAZIL..." Read more

"We really didn't know what to expect based on the mixed reviews but fortunately for us - we had a great dining experience. The service was on the slower pace but friendly. Think we should have ordered their specialty dish (clay pots) instead we ventured to other items in the menu. We ordered the following:chicken pattiesseafood casserole..." Read more

"Good paella in a pinch, but nothing to write home about. Taste of dishes reminds me a bit of a chain restaurant, as if the meal was mass-produced. I don't believe the restaurant is part of a chain, however."
