"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

"Found this place through Yelp when looking for a place to grab lunch. Was in a hurry and the one waitress was extremely slow so when she finally came by I ordered the fish and chips since I didnt have time to ask questions about what the menu items were. They were ok..nothing special. The other 3 people I was with ordered the chicken salad and 2 other fishy..." Read more

"I don't know how this place has four stars. My three friends and I came in around 9:30pm and their kitchen closed at 10:45pm. We ended up ordering the Moqueca Completa (fish, shrimp, and mussels), Fried Yucca, and Shrimp Brazilian Patties. The waiter kept hinting that we hadn't ordered enough food and was not very pleasant. He seemed like he was tired from t..." Read more

"I was kind of underwhelmed by my experience.  I arrived at their 'new' locations and got the standard fish muqueca (btw, they charge $1 PER shrimp, if you want to add shrimp) during lunch since I work nearby in the biotech valley.  I thought the colors and smells of the food were quite vibrant, but when I took a bite, I felt that my meal was seriously lackin..."

"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."

"I really wanted to love this place. Maybe my expectations were too high, but I was really disappointed in the food. The seafood dish just wasn't very flavorful. I think it might have been a dish I didn't like, or just a bad night, so I'm giving them another try."

"I just ate at this restaurant with my husband. We are still trying to decide if what we actually put in our mouth was food because it was so bland. Both of us had fish stew with shrimp and mussels. You could definitely split the dish because it has a lot of fish and shrimp. It just tastes like a mound of nothing."

"I'd read the online reviews recommending this place. I'd read that one order of the fish stew (muqueca) can feed two. Since we went for lunch, I was sure that we'd ordered enough food-  and we weren't that hungry.The waitress disagreed and REPEATEDLY insisted that we needed to order more food for our group. As a result, we ordered more than we needed..." Read more

"It's hard for me to give a less-than-average review, since I'm generally easy to please when it comes to going out to eat... and so many people had SO many great things to say about Muqueca here on Yelp. A friend of mine is subletting a place in Cambridge from a native Brazilian, and Muqueca's menu was the only Brazilian food menu in his apartment - we thoug..." Read more
