"Oh. My. Goodness. So awesome!I had the mussel and fish moqueca with a side of fried plaintains. The plantains were so delicious; the moqueca was totally ridiculous. I've never had moqueca before and I know I'll be going back as often as I can afford. It was in a tasty, but sort of thin, broth, chock full of mussels - I was expecting maybe 5-10 musse..."

"Not your typical Brazillan fare. It isn't an all you can eat buffet, and it isn't predominantly meat - it's another side of Brazillan food. A little bit pricey, but lots of flavors.Yucca with sausage - it's ok. yucca was tender, but nothing special, I could have made it at home.Feijoada Completa - that was good. lots of flavor. lots o..."

"I'm Brazilian and I love to take friends from other countries to try a good Brazilian food, but until now, I've been embarrassed by some cheap taste food that some brazilians are offering, but after I try Muqueca, I felt proud again for being Brazilian... The best..."

"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

"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

"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

"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

"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."

"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

"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

"I had no idea what to expect from Brazilian food. Every other Brazilian restaurant I've been to was a meat-filled buffet in Framingham. This place is thankfully, not that. Tons of vegetarian and pescatarian options. My fish stew was excellent - more than enough for two people and I need to figure out how they do their fried yucca!I'll ech..." Read more

"I'm so happy that Muqueca moved to the larger space and is now only 2 blocks from my apt! After multiple visits, I prefer to order family style so I can have a bit of everything. The plantain lasagna is a sweet cheesy counterpoint to any muqeuca, but is way too rich for me to eat as my main dish. Definitely get a fresh squeezed juice from the juice bar..." Read more

"I was kind of underwhelmed by my experience. I arrived at their 'new' locations and got the standard fish muqueca (btw, they charge $1 PER shrimp, if you want to add shrimp) during lunch since I work nearby in the biotech valley. I thought the colors and smells of the food were quite vibrant, but when I took a bite, I felt that my meal was seriously lackin..." Read more

"Nice cozy place to eat. Seems like a popular spot to hang out with friends which is exactly what I did when I went. Unfortunately the place is somewhat hidden behind construction now but that shouldn't stop you from eating the delicious food cooked in clay pots. It feels like each meal is made especially for you; no matter what you decide. I had..." Read more

"I went to Muqueca with my family last week-end and the adults shared 3 dishes: the Feijoada, their Plantain Lasagna and a "Muqueca Completa". Of the three, the only one I was familiar with was the Faijoada, and I must say this was the best I have had so far. The Muqueca was also very good while the Plantain Lasagna, although a bit heavy with all th..." Read more

"I love this place!!! You need to go a few times to try the muquecas, the feijoada, the steak and the strogonof... and also make sure you try the fresh fruit juices while you are there.This is true authentic Brazilian food, not like the Midwest Grill that has a fake churrascaria set-up (that used to be across the street, but now muqueca moved further..."

"An escape from the ordinary....this colorful restaurant really makes you feel like you are in an exotic oasis. Start with the fried yucca and a fruit juice. I followed this with the jumbo shrimp curry which was delicious. Friends tried the Muqueca , the Feijouda and the Mariscada ...everyone enjoyed their meals---six out of six- it was a hit! Would go ba..." Read more

"My boyfriend and I went to Muqueca for dinner last week. I got the tofu/plantain muqueca, based on Yelp suggestions, and both my boyfriend and I were definitely not fans. It had a mushy consistency and was somewhat bland. The juice bar was very cool -- I would recommend trying something from there if you go."
