"A must try!The restaurant feels very homey and there were several families who were clearly regulars when I went- that's how you know the food is good! We had yucca, coconut shrimp, and crab cakes to start. Everything was delicious although the coconut shrimp was a little too fried for my liking. Their hot sauce is absolutely delicious, the r..."

"We absolutely love this restaurant! While there are other Brazilian restaurants nearby, this place delivers the best fresh seafood. I ordered a crab cake, calamari, and seafood rice plate. The crab cake was delicate and perfectly moist. The calamari was served with a dipping sauce that was absolutely necessary considering the dryness of the calamari. Althoug..." Read more

"On a Friday night this place can get pretty packed. My friend and I fortunately didn't have to wait too long as we got their early. Note that this place only serves full parties. We got the fish muqueca and mussels muqueca and both were flavorful and rich, however the only distinguisher between the two was the type of meat. Both were tomato and onion broth..." Read more

"I loved this restaurant! The muqueca was certainly delicious, as well as the other dishes that we had. I'm glad I went with a Brazilian friend who placed all of the orders for us, since I had no clue what to get. This place wasn't the best Brazilian restaurant I've been to, but it definitely got very close, and my friend was able to attest to the authenticit..." Read more

"As a Brazilian, I would say that the restaurant serves an authentic Brazilian food. We had two dishes: (1) Shrimp and Fish moqueca (4 stars): the moqueca was really good. However, we were expecting more fish and shrimps. (2) Carne de sol com mandioca (4.5 stars): It is a really good appetizers. The yuca (mandioca) was really good! The ambiance: 3 stars...." Read more

"First time having Brazilian cuisine and I'm extremely satisfied with it. My personal favorite were their national dish and the fried red snapper (market price $25 as of Mar 18, 2018). The national dish came in a stone pot and it was still boiling hot for good 10-20minutes on our table (during this cold 25 F day)!!! As for the red snapper, it was fried just t..." Read more

"Delicious seafood stews.Got the Mariscada, Cod Capixaba and Moqueca Completa. 2 of the dishes came with a delicious veggie side but overall the dishes were very similar. All really rich and filling. There were 4 of us and those 3 dishes were too much for us. I'd be happy to go back.I got a caipirinha and was disappointed so I'd focus on the f..." Read more

"All my Brazilian friends recommended Muqueca Restaurant since I have been craving for authentic rustic Brazilian Cuisine and this cozy place in Cambridge lived up to its standard. Fish and Shrimp Muqueca was outstanding- sliced onions were perfectly timed to cook in its own stew to maintain the crunchiness while releasing its flavor blended well with other i..." Read more

"I've never had anything "Brazilian" except for brazillian bbq. As I enjoy trying new food, we ventured to Cambridge for brazillian food. Service was good. Food was good as well. Unfortunately, I forgot the name of the dishes we got, but they were all recommended!"

"We ordered two appetizers and two mains for four people and we couldn't finish! Definitely share. The fried yucca with dried beef was delicious. The yucca was just so amazing, like tater tots. Also they weren't oily but still super crispy on the outside ! The spicy sauce is hot(!!) but delicious. Cod patties were so soft inside, like a cod paste (in a good w..." Read more

"What can I say the food was delicious and the drinks where just right . The customer service was good but the desserts was nothing special, I don't think I will be ordering any desserts from this place. But everything else pretty good."

"My mom and I went here for dinner and the food was pretty good. We've had better, but the Muqueca we had was when we were actually in Brazil. It was a little bland and as a part of the Brazilian custom, no salt or pepper was present at the table. Overall, it is a nice restaurant with friendly waiters and waitresses and pretty good good."

"The food is amazing, for sure. I'd recommend the shrimp bobó. And make sure you throw in some hot sauce. This is a whole different experience from Brazilian rodizio, but something you should try. It's a bit more expensive than I wanted to pay, which is why I gave it four stars. Make sure that you try a dessert after-all of them are great, but the passion fru..." Read more
