"Muqueca gets the coveted 5 star spot from me. Everything is just so DELICIOUS there. Mind you, I have only tried a few things but I have never been disappointed. Throughout the years, I have frequented Inman Square on a pretty regular basis. For years, my boyfriend would point out Muqueca and and I would shake my head and say, 'no, I don't like..." Read more

"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..." Read more

"They wound't let us use a coupon on Valentine's day even even though the voucher didn't say anything about holidays. If they were busy then I maybe would have understood, but there were two tables filled when we were there. The seafood muqueca was okay, but on the verge of being fishy. The only item I enjoyed was the fried plantains, but it's really..." Read more

"Shrimp muqueca is the best thing I've had anywhere. Fantstic kale. Great fried plantains. Don't order the Brazilian national dish - it's not great.
The gravy is useless to me.
Always good to make reservations if it's an evening meal."

"This is one of my favorite restaurants in the Boston area that I can't find anything similar to anywhere else (in the area or in any other major city). The muquecas are absolute comfort food that is especially good on a cold day. It's a small restaurant so the wait can sometimes be a while. Since there's no waiting area, it means waiting outside."

"Great place. My favorite is their signature dish--the moquecca--made with fish, tomatoes, awesome spices, rice-- always served piping hot. Comes to the table bubbling in a clay pot. Can be a little noisy--but I fel it adds to the charm. On the wall is a story of how they make the special cookware in Brazil. People are friendly."

"Have been here a couple of times and it surprised me to see that, after the place was featured on a TV show of neighborhood restaurants, it was packed last time I was there, so if you plan to hit this place on a Saturday night make sure to call ahead and reserve a space. Decorated with colorful paintings and fish nets to reflects some of the atmosphere of th..." Read more

"Their bacalhau (lightly fried salted codfish) balls has significantly higher mashed potato content than fish. But it was good. In a potatoey type of way.If you're looking for Bahia style moqueca stew- with coconut milk then oops wrong place. They serve Espirito Santo style (without coconut milk). Which is pretty good too.~ $22 for a moqueca c..." Read more

"The husband and I went for an impromptu dinner/movie date last night, and we are really happy we wandered in here. We've lived in this neighborhood for 5 years and have always wanted to try it. There were plenty of parties eating but there was no wait in getting a table. The menu is almost all seafood, which was fine with us, I think the only items were a co..." Read more

"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

"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."

"PheNOMenal! I didn't know how I would feel about a fish stew since I'm not used to that kind of dish, but the Mariscada was absolutely outstanding. It had shrimp, crabmeat, mussels and squid in a broth with tomato, onion and coconut milk. The flavors were incredible. I also tried one of the meat dishes, but I far preferred the seafood. The place itself i..." Read more

"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

We arrived there around 6:30pm on a Tuesday night and the restaurant was practically empty. There is a small bar directly ahead when you walk in and there are some bench seating and small tables to the left. This rest..." Read more

"Everything they say about the place is true. Wonderful food, friendly atmosphere, authentic dishes.For starters we had the cod cakes and the crab cake. Both were delicious, but I especially loved the way it was spiced and stuffed into a wooden shell (Filipinos do this with a fresh crab shell). Very tasty.I know everyone here is praising th..."
