"Great service, and great food. I enjoyed both the juice bar and our muqueca. Between two of us, the muqueca, 2 juices, and a shared fried yucca was more than enough food. It was like all the good things in paiella, but tasted much fresher and really delicious- less grain/carb centered. We really enjoyed our meal. I liked the blueberry/mango/passion fruit jui..."

"Muqueca gets the coveted 5 star spot from me.   Everything is just so DELICIOUS there.  Mind you, I have only tried a few things but I have never been disappointed.  Throughout the years, I have frequented Inman Square on a pretty regular basis.  For years, my boyfriend would point out Muqueca and and I would shake my head and say, 'no, I don't like..."

"Shrimp muqueca is the best thing I've had anywhere.  Fantstic kale.  Great fried plantains.  Don't order the Brazilian national dish - it's not great.

The gravy is useless to me.  

Always good to make reservations if it's an evening meal."

"Great place. My favorite is their signature dish--the moquecca--made with fish, tomatoes, awesome spices, rice-- always served piping hot. Comes to the table bubbling in a clay pot. Can be a little noisy--but I fel it adds to the charm. On the wall is a story of how they make the special cookware in Brazil. People are friendly."

"Have been here a couple of times and it surprised me to see that, after the place was featured on a TV show of neighborhood restaurants, it was packed last time I was there, so if you plan to hit this place on a Saturday night make sure to call ahead and reserve a space. Decorated with colorful paintings and fish nets to reflects some of the atmosphere of th..." 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'..."
