"And I thought Brazilian food would be just meat! This one turned out to be mostly a fish menu. I had a delicious stew with shrimp. The stew's name is eponymous (what a great term): muqueca. Also had fried yucca, which tasted like potatoes, as a table appetizer. Service was friendly, helpful. It's a small, colorful, inviting, fairly noisy restaurant that's on..." 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."

"This place offers very unique food, which is nice in the time of burgers and pizza. But just beware that there are A TON of fried options here! As in, it's almost impossible to order an appetizer that isn't fried!We started with the fried yucca, which was nicely cooked and the sauce that came with it was a good, light accompaniment. We also had a fri..." Read more

"Authentic Brazilian seafood with comfortable seating and fair prices. They also have a lot of dishes from the interior of Brazil. The servings are generous. If you're looking for Brazilian BBQ, this is not the place for you."

Appetizer: Fried yucca (with delicious cream dipping sauce)Entrees: Lasagna de Banana (hearty, cheesy, reminded me of eggplant parm) and their signature dish Plantain and Tofu Muqueca..." Read more

The service was very friendly and cheerful with smiles on their faces but SLOW as molasses. Picture 2 servers and 2 tables, what kind of service would you ex..." Read more

"It took me ages to actually come here because, well I had no idea what a portuguese seafood restaurant was and I had no idea how good it was going to be but really what people should have been telling me is that I could be eating plantains and frogs legs and finishing off with a steaming bowl of mussels, shrimp and chunks of fish.For some reason they'll..."

"I ate some good things here: a bowl of beans and pig meat all spiced up and hearty, a simple, onion-y, fish-heavy seafood stew with a clear broth, and a similar one with coconut milk broth, fish, and mussels, and also a kind of crazy good crab cake.I also drank too many of those dangerously cheap caipirinhas. But so it goes.I had a bit of an..." Read more

"There are only a few reasons why you might take a pass on Muqueca, but they weigh heavy with us. We went only once, two years ago, and we've never been back. Why on earth is that?It's a little pricey for how filling it is (or isn't) and my husband left hungry. Oh dear. It's just tasty home cooking. I make a fish stew similar to these, and it..." Read more

"Great service, and great food. I enjoyed both the juice bar and our muqueca. Between two of us, the muqueca, 2 juices, and a shared fried yucca was more than enough food.It was like all the good things in paiella, but tasted much fresher and really delicious- less grain/carb centered. We really enjoyed our meal. I liked the blueberry/mango/passion fruit..." Read more

Muqueca how do you do it so?I went with some girlfriends and we shared the fried yucca app, shrimp & mussels muqueca, and the chicken strogonoff. The strogonoff and muqueca came in cute pots, perfectly portioned with rice nicely plated. And oh my, was it so tasty yet simple. Lots..." Read more

"Have been hearing good things about this place for years; finally went to try it out on a recent Sunday afternoon. Usually with Brazilian food it's meat meat and more meat, so it's a nice change of pace to go to a place that specializes in seafood!I think we went during shift change, so the service a little slow, but in general friendly. The food..." Read more

"This place is a gem. After I moved out of the Boston area I tried to find another restaurant like it but can't! As a seafood lover, the mariscada was my favorite. Yucca and beef appetizer was great as well.
The location is a bit further out in Inman, but absolutely worth it."
