"This is not your typical Brazilian fare (meat, meat and maybe a little rice and beans on the side), but it is divine. I'm not a big seafood fan, but I love their muqueca (Brazilian fish stew) more than almost any other restaurant dish. We finally convinced my oldest son, a picky eater, to try the muqueca. He said, "Mom, I don't like tomatoes or fish, but I'l..." Read more

"Love their fish stew. I've never had it before this place and can't believe I've missed out. I keep coming back for their cod cakes and try the fried yucca with dry meat. This is my go to ALL the time! Passion fruit caipirinha is essential since it's not too sweet and a little sour  Also - go with a group (like 3+) The food does take a while to come out so m..."

"I had the shrimp muqueca and frankly it was nothing more than a mix of water, salt, tomatoes, onion, and shrimp. For $20 I would've expected more. After finishing the meal I was still hungry and had to order another side of rice. Then I was crazy thirsty all night and the next morning I weighed 3 lbs heavier because of the sodium. Disappointed and confused b..." Read more

"Wow, glad we chose this place. The house specialities definitely was the way to go. The food was excellent with lots of sea food given. The wait staff was pleasant. My kids loved the fried plantain. Glad the other restaurant we planned on going to was closed and we found this place. We just can't pronounce it's name."

"Really delicious fish and seafood stew. Large sizes (serves 1.5-2), served in a clay pot with rice. The flavors of the soup are amazing. The only downside is that it's a bit pricey - around $20 for the stews. Next time I'll share one with someone so I can try their other dishes."

And boy are we glad we did! Cambridge Street can be a pain to find convenient parking but thankfully I was able to find something not too far from the restaurant...." Read more
