"This is a wonderful place for dinner in the area! I highly recommend the lasagna de banana, at least to share. It's cheesy and sweet, crunchy and cheesy, and it's almost like a dessert.

The service is relatively attentive, and I enjoy the outdoor space they they open up when it's warmer and dry outside."

"Tudo muito bom!! Great, authentic Brazilian cuisine. You get the bang for your buck in terms of quality and quantity of food. It is a small place that does not take reservations but I've gotten lucky and find seating pretty quickly. It is on a main road but there is plenty of meter parking nearby."

"We ordered the moqueca de peixe (fish) and moqueca de peixe com camarão (fish and shrimp). The fish dish comes with a fish dipping sauce, and the fish and shrimp version comes with potatoes. Everything was served in a separate clay pot. They also came with a scoop of rice each and some powdered yucca as a topping.   I really enjoyed this, and althoug..." Read more

"An unassuming restaurant at the end of Inman Square stretch of shops and restaurants. Named after their clay pot soup, the restaurant was warm and inviting. Operated by friendly staff, the restaurant was decorated with an assortment of warm feeling colors and wood giving it a homey feel. The seats were full at 830pm and we had to wait 15 minutes to get a tab..." Read more

"Our to go place for Brazilian food. We like the friendly service and the choice between meat (beef stroganoff is my favorite) and seafood (all of their muqueca are great). Fried yucca and bunuelos (chicken or cod) are always a great start. Good cocktails and service very attentive to children. Their patio in the summer is comfortable and a nice change from i..."

"I've been meaning to try Muqueca for a long time but the place is always busy on weekends. I gave in and decided to try them by delivery. I ordered the Lasagne di Banane (plantain lasagna) which comes with a side of rice or salad. The lasagna was decadent and delicious. The best way to describe the dish is that fried sweet plantains were combined with a rich..." Read more

"I went here with my family tonight. This place was highly recommended to me by a colleague of mine. I would classify this as a Brazilian Seafood restaurant. The food was delicious and the service was excellent. It's Cambridge so parking can be a bit tough but we still managed."

"The house dish Moqueca is a perfect plate, although I loved the Brazilian "Picanha." Suitable for anyone who wants to meet the first quality of Brazilian food experience, even for Brazilians, cause if it were in Brazil would be one of the best places. Meet or fish, it doesn't matter, both are good. The waiters are very kind and funny, some of them are Brazil..." Read more

"I can't believe I haven't written about Muqueca, which I've been to multiple times. The fish stews are always amazing, with deep flavors, lots of fish, in each of the stews. The plantains are strong as well. The stews go really well with rice. I can't quite remember how the other dishes are, but generally everything is rather special."

"Great neighborhood Brazilian restaurant! Plenty of authentic options to eat. A few basic options if you have a picky eater in the group. Full bar with great drinks. The caipirinhas were delicious! The sautéd shrimp was amazing & a must order! The steak was cooked to perfection. Great option for dinner in the area!"
