"I had the recommended "complete" seafood stew dish with my friend last night. Unfortunately the stew smelled bad when it arrived and we both could barely eat it. The shrimp was fine but when I had the mussels, I had to spit it out. It was spoiled, not fresh. I believe that was causing the poor odor from the stew. I also noticed that our server was not pre..."

"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 version of chic..." Read more

"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 ordered one thing, they delivered a different dish. It took so long to get what we wanted. By the time they put foods on the table, they were cold and real messy. This was my 2nd trial due to many great comments. How could people rated them 4-5 stars......they must be a family member."

"My parents were in town and I wanted to take them out for some good local food.  We arrived early in the evening to a half-empty restaurant.  The hostess seated us, and a waitress served us water.   After 10 minutes we thought they were finally returning to take our order, but instead they literally kicked us out of the restaurant!  They said they'd just rea..."

"This restaurant has great food but the service was so terrible I can't in good conscience give it a good review. Judging from the other reviews, our experience was not an aberration. Our server made a big fuss that we were a party of 7, not 6, as one our friends has a four week old baby. I asked for an extra glass three times to three different servers and..." Read more

"I like Brazilian food but was very disappointed with Muqueca.       First, I inquired about a vegetarian dish, and when the waitress listed tofu, I stopped her.  I told I didn't like tofu, so she suggested another dish.  When it arrived, surprise!  Tofu!  I was starving & just didn't eat the tofu.  But there wasn't much to this dish anyway.  Boring,..."

"Hated this place. The specialty fish stew seemed like it was just some fish and some salsa put into a pot. It tasted really fishy...not fishy-suspicious but fishy-fishlike. We also tried the pork loin and it was dry and bland and served with very bland vegetables. For what we got, it was quite pricey. The place was empty at dinner time on a weeknight...." Read more

"The food was not something to say so loud, I experienced a lot better muqueca. So, I was disappointed with this place first of all. When I tried to pay me and my friend's bill with half cash half credit card, I was told to put more tips as I tipped on the credit card and the server did not see it. I fond this was rather rude, but I got patient and explain..." Read more

"Wasn't that impressed with my shrimp muqueca. In fact, it didn't seem like it was anything unique. The big plate of rice was disappointing, but more so was that my bf had the fish muquecue and was sick for a good 20 hrs afterwards. We won't be going back. Not worth the hype, sadly."

"I'd give this place a "zero star" if I could. Bought a buy-with-me coupon but was given a hard time when redeeming it because they didn't wanna honor their own coupon! When I unwrapped the takeout order, one out of the three items was missing, and they couldn't care less when I called to tell them. Also the famous muqueca was tasteless except for being to..."

"SHOULD BE SHUT DOWN Simply put-I wish I could take this dreadful experience back! I walked in with high hopes for this little Brazilian nook, little did I know this would be the last time I would step foot in that miserable hell hole. We sat down and the waiter was immediately discourteous. I felt uncomfortable and rushed ordering and asking questions abo..." Read more

"HORRIBLE SERVICE! We came here for my friend's birthday. We were a party of 6 and my friend had made a reservation. When we arrived, they had no record of our reservation and said there was nothing they could do. We had to wait almost an hour. It would have been common courtesy to provide us with free drinks or appetizers or SOMETHING but we barely even got..." Read more

"One big complain: the dishes are too slow to come. We went there at 6pm on Friday night. There was only one table besides us. But it took them 50 mins to have our dishes available. So I am not sure why it took them such a long time. In addition, it even took waitress over 10 mins to ask for drinks or appetizer. We have 4 adults with 1 baby. When the bill cam..." Read more

"I went here about 2 months ago, and have been meaning ever since to warn people about this place. Food was fine, albeit overpriced (-1 star), but the service is what is making them get a bad review (-3 stars). My party of 4 came in around 6 on a weeknight and were seated pretty quick. The place had maybe 3 other parties serviced by 3 waitstaff. It shou..." Read more
