"ADOREI! Nossa!!! Ive eaten Brasilian food in Florida, New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, Philadelphia and Massachusetts.....THIS IS THE BEST!!! FINALLY a Brasilian place that has food from Bahia (seafood, cassava, spices, plantains, beans, coconut milk) not the parade of meats-on-a-stick that everyone thinks is the only thing Brasilians eat.

"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."

"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..."

"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."

"Last night I ate the fried calamari, which is delicious, and the seafood rice as an entree. Seafood rice was big enough to share! Very good and every bite had shrimp, mussels, or calamari. I swear the calami was better in the rice dish than the fried rings. And the fried calamari is seriously good. That's a lot of rambling.. but just know the food wa..." Read more
