"This is a little cozy brazilian restaurant has a colorful decoration that is reminiscent of its origins. The place itself may feel a little tight (there's only space enough for something like 7 tables, though I heard from the waiter that they are soon to be moved closeby to a bigger place), but this also helps to create an intimate environment. I've..." Read more

"First time having Brazilian food - so I don't have much to compare it to, but as far as a meal is concerned, this is as good as it gets. The restaurant was clean and nicely decorated, the wait staff was very friendly (kid-friendly too) and willing to explain the unfamiliar dishes.From the juice bar, I had the Blue Cazu, which the waitress explained had a..."

"If I could give this place 6/5 stars, I would. This place is one of the saving graces for the terrible food scene that poor Cambridge has to offer.We came here for Sunday lunch, and as soon as the doors opened at noon, five other groups came in. The decor was really nice - did they recently remodel?We started off with fried yucca served with..." Read more

"The place is small and very crowded. I believe we waited about 20 mins for a table. The service was ok, and there was a really long wait for the food. I take it the food is made to order because everyone seemed to be waiting a long time for food. The food was absolutely worth the wait. Fresh, amazing, and large portions. We could have shared one orde..." Read more

"After thirteen years in Cambridge, we decided to finally check out Muqueca. The new space (note: they have moved a block away from their original location) is colorful enough, though the room lacks any real kind of ambience or coziness (think of it this way -- Casa Portugal has more ambience than Muqueca -- and I don't think Casa Portugal is notable for its..."

"Walked over here from Harvard Square. First time eating Brazilian. I had the mussel muqueca and my friend had fish muqueca. We finished off the meal with some flan and fried plantains. Yum! I left feeling satisfied/full, but not in that uncomfortable/gross way.
Thanks Yelp for a great recommendation!"

"Got back from Brazil a few weeks ago ... I was jittery, cold, difficulty staying awake ... yup, definite diagnosis of Brazil withdrawal syndrome. My friend prescribed dinner at Muqueca. We experimented with the fried frog legs ... tasted like chicken to my unsophisticated palate. The seafood muqueca was excellent, full of bubbly goodness, great spices, and l..." Read more

"You know when you find something on sale for a REALLY cheap price but you don't love it as much as you would like to? You're so tempted to get it, but you know you'll never wear/use it. Muqueca was kind of like that for me.This place gets so many five stars! The menu also seems like it's entirely oriented around the authenticity of Brazilian food. I..." Read more

"I've been here a lot over the years. Muqueca is great Brazilian seafood. Everything on the menu is flavorful and incredible.My favorite is the mariscada - incredible. I often add in a fish and shrimp moqueca - which I don't find as tasty, but is still really good.I've also had crab cakes, yucca, coconut shrimp, steak tips with onions and fries, and..." Read more

"The food was absolutely delicious! I ordered the seafood casserole with rice! I highly recommend this dish.
The place is a bit small, but we ended up waiting for just 10-15 minutes on a Friday night. So, all in all, I enjoyed the atmosphere and had a yummy dinner."

"Muqueca is a must for those who have never tried Brazilian food. Its dishes are representative of some of the most popular foods in Brazil (I'm Brazilian), and it's cheap!I recommend1) The fried yucca (mandioca in Portuguese) but think they should be eaten without the sauce and with extra salt. That way you can actually taste it!2) Rice and..." Read more

"We were out for dinner to this place on a freaking cold Winter Friday and were welcomed with a warm blow of heat from the space heaters hanging from the wall as soon as we entered the place.It's exactly what we expected. A small, packed, foodie, hole in a wall joint with very friendly waitresses and good looking food. We tried everything recommended by t..." Read more

"I was having a wickedly craptastic day last week. Tearing into the fried whole red snapper at Muqueca *totally* fixed my mood.The place was packed, and a little cramped, with a line that formed seconds after we walked in and snagged the only open table. But the service was excellent - really friendly waitress - and the food was amazing. Lots of gr..." Read more

"Wow. Delicious.We decided to pick a new restaurant for dinner last night so we headed to Cambridge St., drove by some places, parked the car and walked to Muqueca. We made a fantastic decision. We got shrimp patties as an appetizer and they were great, very flavorful. For dinner we got a side of fried plantains, I ordered shrimp bobo and my fiance go..." Read more

"The food here is absolutely delicious. I had the fish muqueca (kind of a seafood stew that you can choose which main ingredient(s) you want) and my friend had the fried fish fillets. They were both made with haddock, and both were incredibly tasty--in different ways.Even the rice was flavorful. It's steamed with garlic and possibly other things...." Read more

"To be fair this place had good service and had a nice environment. But this spot is not worthy of a 4.5 / 5 star rating. The fried Yucca was pretty good and had a good crispy texture and nice sauce to accompany it, and the smoothie was pretty tasty as well as fresh.However, the Muquecass didn't seem to have the burst of flavor which I really..."

"This little nook in the wall restaurant probably has a maximum capacity of 30 seats and even that may be stretching it. On the freezing cold night that we went to this hole in the wall, we had to be seated next to the door (which was pretty cold) bc we didnt have reservations and our other friend didnt show up yet. They were pretty strict about where we can..." Read more

"this place is delicious! i ordered the seafood moqueca, and, like my fellow yelpers, was not disappointed. flavorful, filling-but-not-too-heavy, perfect. service was prompt and friendly. i don't recommend going in large groups, though, as seating is tight."

"My husband and I were visiting Boston and found this place through Yelp (it was one of the best reviewed restaurants). This restaurant is in a little Brazilian/Portuguese neighborhood in Cambridge.

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
