"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 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 echo others in..." 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

"We had to wait FOREVER for a table and the place is pretty small, but it is worth it. The coconut milk seafood stew was AMAZING!!!! I highly recommend the seafood dishes place."

"I've been to Muqueca a couple of times in their old location, and just went in their new location. Unfortunately, the wait for a table is just as a slow, so make a reservation. The fried yucca appetizer is ok, nothing special. I am unimpressed by their namesake seafood platters, their vibrantly colored fish is covered in herbs, so one would expect it to b..." 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 love this place and every single person I've ever brought here for a meal - and I always bring out-of-town guests who visit - love this place. They've just moved to larger and swankier digs, but the homey and comforting atmosphere remains the same, as do the outstanding muqueca dishes which are tasty, tasty, tasty. The ingredients are nothing unusual - shr..." Read more

"first off, don't expect to be in and out of here within an hour. the food takes time to prepare so you'll be sitting around watching other people eat before you get the chance to. If you're starving, go next door for a bag of chips to hold you over. You'll need it. This place did not disappoint. I had the Fish and Shrimp Muqueca. It's a seafood stew served..." Read more

"We went to Mueque for the first time tonight. To be honest, the service was really slow (and it took a long time for the wait staff to even decide where we should sit, and the place wasn't crowded). I said to my friend, "the food had better be great." It was. Really, really great. Tender, delicious cuts of meat, huge portions, delicious sauces. Well worth..." 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

"A conversation I could imagine having about this place: Me- It is really really good Brazilian restaurant. Fictional Friend- Oh, I LOVE Brazilian BBQ Me- Well I do too, but this place isn't a BBQ place it is more of a seafood place and their namesake specialty dish is a stew like dish with all types of veggies and seafood that comes out boiling in these..."

"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

"So Good. I love Indian, Thai, Mexican and Caribbean food and I have several go to places, however yesterday I wanted to try something new. This place hit the spot! Best food I've had in a Boston restaurant in years. The plantain Moqueca and the "must try" Mariscada (shrimp, mussels, tomato and onions in a spicy coconut milk reduction) was am..." Read more
