"Muqueca is a great establishment with great service, good food and a nice spot. The waitstaff was very pleasant and my party of 4 never wanted for anything. The food options were varied, interesting and quite tasty. I opted for the fish and shrimp muqueca. They bring your food out in a clay pot where the broth is still cooking the ingredients. It makes for a..." Read more

"I had been wanting to try out Muqueca for over a year. I'd heard good things. I'd never tried Brazilian food but loved seafood and paella, so it seemed appetizing. But from where I lived in Mission Hill, it was quite a trek to Inman Square. I kept thinking about it, but it never quite worked out. This past May I moved to Inman Square. Suddenly Muqueca was..."

"Came here for dinner with some friends and I'm glad we did! We found parking just steps from the entrance and were seated right away once everyone in our party arrived. Make reservations ahead of time coz the place is pretty small and gets packed quickly. The staff was great, very friendly and attentive. We split the Coconut Shrimp (delish- not too coconut-t..."

"Initially, I was a little worried as the waitress would not seat us until our whole party arrived (3 out of 4 were there!). Our friend just arrived as she said she was going to give our table away if another complete party arrived ... So my tip #1 is make sure you all arrive on-time if you have a booking :-) But despite that initial hick-up - it was defini..." Read more

"My boyfriend decided that this is where he wanted to go for his birthday dinner and i'm SO glad he did. I was skeptical after a quick glance at the online menu, not having any experience with Brazilian food and not being a huge seafood lover. We went on a sunday evening with a group of 10 and we had a 5pm reservation. we were seated very promptly..." Read more

"This place is amazing! The food is out of this world, delicious, unpretentious and inexpensive, vibe is very nice and so are the staff. Do yourself a favor and check it out, and don't forget to ask for their special homemade hot sauce to go with whatever your main order is."

"Went here on my 5th wedding anniversary. The wait staff volunteered to put my flowers in the refrigerator to keep them fresh! Service was very, very good. We had the fried yucca appetizer (good) and my husband had the fish and shrimp moqueca (also good). I decided to try their chef specialty - lasagne de banana. This was sweet bananas in a rich and savor..." 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

"A very very solid 4 stars. I love Brazilian/Portuguese seafood, and this really hit the spot for me on a busy Friday night. Service was very friendly and knowledgeable, and food was even better. I had a huge hearts of palm salad and shrimp muqueca. Both were simple dishes done right, fresh and flavorful, and that's really the magic of this place."

"This was my first time at Muqueca, and first time at a Brazilian restaurant of this kind. They just moved to a bigger place down the street in Inman, and were packed on a Sunday night, which I think speaks for itself. "Brazilian fish stew" just doesn't have much of a ring to it, but man, it was the most awesome thing I've eaten in a long time..." Read more

"Had a lovely dinner there with my parents after waiting in line for 45 long minutes (something that is apparently common at this establishment). I had never had Brazilian food before although I've had Portuguese and Spanish food before. I was familiar with linguiça and yucca but had never had muqueca - on the other hand I've had my fair share of caipirinhas...." Read more

"Sweet heavens, my senses play off each other when I relive this meal. Mouth waters, palms to my cheeks, 'mmmm' guttural sounds, wide excited eyes. Maybe it was because I was hungover. Maybe it was because I planned the dinner 5 days in advance. No excuses- I enjoyed every bite here (and the leftovers today in the office - totally had to cover my mouth fr..." Read more

"Hadn't been to the new location but finally made it twice in one week. The new place has a friendly bar and a waiting area. It's much larger than the old spot but still intimate enough. Each time we have been, every table was taken. We continue to enjoy the various seafood stews, for the most part. They are full of rich, hearty flavor and very satisf..." Read more
