"The husband and I went for an impromptu dinner/movie date last night, and we are really happy we wandered in here. We've lived in this neighborhood for 5 years and have always wanted to try it. There were plenty of parties eating but there was no wait in getting a table. The menu is almost all seafood, which was fine with us, I think the only items were a co..." Read more

"I love the moquecas here. For some reason, I usually come here with large parties, but I need to get around here with smaller groups, too, because it's amazing. I like the colorful decor and the cozy/snug atmosphere, but you kind of want a reservation because the wait can be long at prime times."

"We bumped into this wonderful restaurant as we wandered through Cambridge one warm spring evening. Locals spoke highly of it, so we dove right in! The fish Muqueca was outstanding! As fish lovers we were delighted. The flavors were distinct and distinctive, the service friendly and the ambiance pleasant."

"Hello affordable mouth-watering seafood casserole! No joke this place is an experience - one that you won't regret. The traditional Brazilian food here is out of this world. I would vote for the dessert too! The drinks however, I won't recommend. I've never actual had them but I've seen the size of them and they are so comically small that they probably won'..."

"My home away from home is Vila Velha, Espirito Santo, Brasil, where I had my first taste of Moqueca. Watching my sister-in-law make it in one of those clay pots, the smell coming from the kitchen was like heaven. This place has the best authentic Moqueca in the area. I'm glad I found this place, it brings me home, even for a short while. Favorites: Mo..." Read more

"You know those restaurants that you've come to time and time again that have never disappointed you? Muqueca, to me, is one of those restaurants. As a result I know that when I peruse the menu, everything is potentially delicious.

Highlights: Capirinhas! The Fried Snapper! Any of the Muqueca!

Book a table on weekend nights."

"My bf took me here for my birthday and we had to try the signature dish, the moqueca completa in addition to the seafood casserole. They were both delicious! We also had some cod cakes that were not bad either. We had the flan for dessert and we give it two thumbs up. If you have a craving for seafood stew, this is your place!"

My husband had the Feijoada Completa, which he really liked as well. I didn't really like it, maybe because I'm not a huge fan of black beans. Skip the desserts, I had the chocolate flan, which wasn't really good. Go..." Read more
