"Very good food, BUT

We were only 2, stay there for 20 minutes, and the check came with a 15% tip. And they still ask for gratuity!!!!! do you want me to pay your bills too?

I don't like this to happen, and the worst part is that we were only 2.

That's rude and is not the way to treat customers."

"Place is deff over-hyped. Came here after reading the Yelp reviews.So the ambiance and atmosphere is VERY casual - almost like a dinner, which is unexpected for the premium prices they charge. Our waitress kept trying to upsell us on drinks and appetizers and was disappointed when I just stuck with an entree and water and my gf with an entree and a j..." Read more

I went to Muqueca with 7 other people, and pretty much everyone enjoyed their food.  $20 a dish enjoyment? Not quite, not really that close actually, more like $12 a dish enjoyment. That..."

"What a disappointment. The seafood muqueca that we got was very bland, it is also quite small. The Brazilian national dish, Feijoada Completa, was really tasty, it had a good combination of sausages, pork, and pork belly (nom nom)"

"I was so excited to try this place after buying their deal on Travelzoo: $39 for two appetizers, two entrees, and two desserts. However, I was pretty sad when I left the restaurant. Here's why.Not only were we treated poorly for using their "deal", they wanted to hurry us out without even having dessert! The portions were way smaller than the..." Read more

"After returning to Boston after two years, I was excited to go to Muqueca again, which I fondly remembered for serving delicious seafood stews. Unfortunately, after trying the restaurant again recently, I was disappointed. The smoothies are merely okay and are pretty expensive. I had the fried yucca, which was surprisingly dry. It really needed to be eat..." Read more

"I ate in the old location several times and loved the food and the service. But something has changed in the new locale, which I tried for the first time last night. What you notice first is the missing warmth, charm and efficiency of the old restaurant. Despite our reservation, we were left to wait for almost 45 minutes, and the waitress/hostess didn't s..."

"Friendly service.  Reasonable portions.  Average to slightly below average food. Definitely overpriced.  Amusing/stupid descriptions on the menu (especially the dessert menu - worth looking at just to laugh.). Wouldn't go back."
