"I had a longer review of this place all lined up, but then I got bored of it becaus my writing style is pretty poor. So here is the expedited version of it. 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..." Read more

"My experience at Muqueca is perfectly described as A-OK. I've actually been wanting to check out Muqueca for quite awhile now, especially after reading great reviews on Yelp and elsewhere. I'm also a huge fan of Brazilian BBQ, so I figured why not try other traditional dishes? I really wanted to love Muqueca... Perhaps my expectations were ju..." Read more

"Muqueca is a restaurant that I always knew I should have tried sooner but didn't and then once I had kicked myself for not doing so earlier. My parents had been raving about the place for years, but I finally went a few months ago....and have been back several times since.The fish Muqueca is quite simple amazing. It comes out sizzling hot in a clay..." Read more

"My favorite restaurant in Inman square. Often times I take my out of visitors here as it is tough to recreate this coastal Brazillian flavor profile elsewhere. I order the moqueca or the deep-fried red snapper and ignore the rest of the menu. I'm impressed by the consistency of the moqueca. It tastes the same every time (major kudos from me). The fruit..."

"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,..." Read more

"I had a Travelzoo voucher for this restaurant and was so excited to try Muqueca with the boy after reading these reviews.Apps: fried yucca and sausage, and the fried frog legs. The yucca was amazing! Nice and crispy and dense. I picked at it all night! The sausage was good but a little salty to eat by itself (the boy had no problem finishing the saus..." Read more

"I was really excited to try Muqueca, because I LOVE Bom Cafe, and they're under the same ownership.I had Feijoada Completa, the Brazillion National dish. The collard greens and plantains were good. I found the black bean stew to be just okay. It had a very strong black bean taste...so much that I couldn't really enjoy the other flavors in the stew (t..." Read more

"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

"Great food. Different kind of Brazilian restaurant. Mariscada and Shrimp Muqueca is my favorite. Service can be slow so be patient. Food is worth it! Try Caipirinha with your meal."

"You know those restaurants that you've come to time and time again that have never disappointed you? Muqueca, to me, is one of those restaurants. As a result I know that when I peruse the menu, everything is potentially delicious.
Highlights: Capirinhas! The Fried Snapper! Any of the Muqueca!
Book a table on weekend nights."

"It's been a while since I've dined at Muqueca. In fact, at my last visit, they were still located on the older smaller corner spot just a bit aways.I loved the food as always though. I couldn't resist getting my usual - the Mariscada $24.95 - which was still chock full of mussels and shrimp when we were starting to scrape the bottom, and was great..." Read more

"Funny that we haven't been here before, because my husband is Brazilian and I love their food. The food e muito bom! Fried Yucca - one of the best I've had here or Brazil! Golden and crisp on the outside, moist and soft on the inside (not dry at all). Delicious dipping sauce too. Frango passarinho was really good - crisp and dark golden and moist and lots of..."

"Love this place. Pretty much everything that you order is very tasty. It is a bit on the pricier end, but it's worth it on a cold evening. Small downside is that the service is very slow since there seems to be only 2 people serving. How can a place that serves banana lasagna be anything other then fun times? :)"

"First time in a Brazilian restaurant and I liked everything I ate! Had the crabcake for appetizer, which was different from the regular crab cake patties. According to our waiter they are the best crabcakes ever! I beg to disagree. I reserve that spot for the crabcakes at the Bluenose Inn in Bar Harbor, Maine.Anyway coming back to Muqueca, the appeti..." Read more

"After they moved to their new location, they had a bumpy time adjusting, and I held off going there for a while. I'm talking, waiting 45 minutes for a table and ordering appetizers so it would be ready by the time we had a table, then waiting 45 minutes after we got a table for our main dishes, when the appetizers never came. And we were starving. To be fair..." Read more

"Completely great experience on a rainy early Tuesday evening - 6:30 is a good time to go: meters are done, so free parking right outside and a prime window seat. Airy blue ocean colors, complementary artwork, and soothing Brazilian music at just the right level. Service was quick and attentive. Caipirinha was ok, but not freshly made. Crispy coconut shri..."
