"Not to be a killjoy but.... It seems that everyone has been drinking the caiprinhas a bit too fast to realize that the food here is not great. It good and its "A-OK" but that's about it. Sure its whooo-hoo Brazilian and its very busy but, uh, excuse me- I don't get the flavors. Shrimp- lovely to look at, but frozen and near zero in the actual flavor..." 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 satisfying...." Read more

"I was blown away by how good the food was. I had the Moqueca Completa, which is a brilliant fish stew that has a delicious sofrito-based broth. To hell with my Irish heritage, this to me is perfect comfort food. I could eat this in any weather and feel like it hit the spot. The kids had fish and chips. The batter had a great flavor, and while I'm not sure wh..." Read more

"Came here on a whim and had to sit at the bar cuz they were all booked. Make reservations ahead of time!
Ordered the Mariscada and Fish with Shrimp Moqueca. Both were very good, full of flavor. Out of the two I think the Mariscada was better."

"YUM! I have tried to replicate the seafood muquecas at home and failed! They are so flavorful and delicious, one of my favorite places in Cambridge. I wish the place was bigger because it is a bit cramped, but the food is SO worth it! Lovely with a side of plaintains. The fruit drinks are really good too. The best part is there is always enough left over..." Read more

"This restaurant almost falls on my way home from work and for close to 5 years now I have been looking at its signboard skeptically from a distance. Muqueca - didn't ring any bells (turns out, it's Brazilian and pretty well known actually!). Then one day I noticed that the restaurant had relocated a few blocks and now fell directly on my route. Since Anjali..." Read more

"They just moved to a new location, right across from where they were before. I think a bit of the charm is lost but they have a lot more tables and there is more space. No more jostling to get in and out! They also now have a beer and wine license which is AWESOME! They also have bar seating and waiting area where they serve food. A friend and I shared a ta..."

"I love this place. My fav is the Muqueca and plantains. I'm sad it moved a couple blocks further from me but I'm happy they are expanding and their new place looks beautiful. I have to check it out!"

"I love this place. I first went there when I worked down the street and was very small. I recently returned to the new bigger and better location, and not only are the new digs great - but the food was even better than I remember. Nice and light and packed with flavor. Wonderful menu, wonderful service. Clean bathroom too - bonus!"

"The last time I had feijoada was during an impromptu samba party at Bar do Mineiro in Santa Teresa in Rio de Janeiro... That was one of the great dining experiences of my life, so you know Muqueca is doing something right that I've given it five stars... I'm not brasilian, but as far I can tell, Muqueca is the genuine artifact... The feijoada is sublime and..." Read more

"After reading many great reviews about Muqueca on yelp, I finally ventured over and had dinner there last night. I have to say that the restaurant lived up to all expectations. We started with the fried yucca. The yucca was not overly oily and fried to perfection. I found their special house sauce just average. We had had the mango samba fruit juice which..." Read more

"The hostess was kind to seat us even though we didn't have a reservation, just cautioned that we needed to quickly order since our table was reserved in 1 hr and 15 minutes... This fortunately was more than enough time to have a wonderful meal... We tried both the muqueca completa and the seafood casserole. The seafood casserole puts the paella to shame,..." Read more

"Muqueca is a hearty Brazilian seafood stew, often served with rice. I was delighted to find a restaurant in the Boston area that served this after having devoured many delicious muquecas in other cities. The fish and shrimp muqueca is a must-try. Rich, tomato-y broth, fresh seafood, all combine to give incredible flavors, especially when eaten with farofa,..." Read more
