"This place was fantastic. We went in the early afternoon, and I suspect we were lucky that there was a table just opening up; there is very little space. The service was friendly but inattentive. They actually forgot an appetizer we had ordered. But the entrees were so substantial they may have been doing us a favor. I couldn't finish even half of my dish...." Read more

"It won't be too romantic: Always crowded, tables were moved and shuffled more than once I ate here. Family and casual atmosphere, not too different from what you'd see in Sao Paolo, according to those who've been there. But the food is great. I always get Lasagna de Banana (plantain lasagna in cheese) and something else. The tropical drinks are good too, an..." Read more

"Hmmm soooo good! We tried the chicken Brazilian patties to start and they were so delicious, we actually cut up the last one with a little knife so that everyone got exactly equal amounts. We also tried the Fish Muqueca, the Feijoada and the Cod Capixaba - they were all amazing, but I especially like the Cod Capixaba because it had coconut milk and that's a..." Read more

"All I can say is EXCELLENT! Some of the BEST Brazilian food I have eaten. The seafood meals are wonderful and fresh. It's a cozy atmosphere and the people are friendly. Get there early becauase the line is always out the door. The only thing it lacks is wine. I would love a glass with my meal."

"For constantly great homy style brazilian food, I recommend Muqueca. It's ideally located close to Inman square and to Christina's Ice cream shop. Food is served in a hot stone bowl and contains cilantro, lemon, tomato flavors. Their seafood dishes are probably the most popular and are close to spanish paella. For $10-$20 per entree, there's nothing you can..." Read more

"Really, really delicious.I have been searching for Salgadinhos for years. 23 to be exact. I couldn't remember what they were called, but I've never seen them on a Brasilian restaurant menu. I remembered them as tasty tasty little patties filled with spiced ground meat and fried to perfection. And that is what Muquequa served me. That alone gives them..." Read more

"if you have not tasted fafa's muqueca you have yet another thing to live for. because words cannot convey the delectable splendor that is fafa's muqueca, i will stop here and invite you to try it yourself. too bad they don't have a liquor license. lord knows they tried but the grumpy neighbors stopped them in their tracks."

"I'm going to have to echo the chorus of DELICIOUS. Small place, casual with what I want to describe as a kind of homey, family feeling, but I think that was mostly thanks to the several groups with young children who were there on a Tuesday night. The moqueca was delicious and perfect winter food, warm, filling and hearty but not too heavy. The fish is a m..." Read more

"DO NOT COME HERE ON WEEKEND NIGHTS. That being said, I love this place. It's cheap and the food is unique and delightful. Not an ideal place for dieters, but who likes them anyway?? I highly highly recommend the plantain lasagna, which I am constantly forgetting to tell people that it is nothing like traditional lasagna. It is a plantain and creamy cheesy..." Read more

"I'll spare the rhetoric: IT DOESNT GET BETTER THAN MUQUECA.

Go to Muqueca, now. It is very delicious.

Every item on the menu is fresh and tasty, but you MUST get the muqueca. Shrimp is bomb, as are the mussels, and everything else.

Must get a smoothie! You won't think of smoothies the same way again."

"Best Brazilian place in town - or several towns and states even. The muqueca is the must try of the place alongside a side order of plantains. I favor the mariscada since I'm a big seafood fan. The maracuja mouse at the end is a nice finish as a dessert order. The smoothies are also quite fantastic to go with the meal. They put real fruit and juice in..." Read more

It was the total opposite of the serial killer raptors dream.. but that's neither here nor there. I came here a couple days ago and still love love love this place. I shared in a bowl of plaintains, Brazilian crab cake, mariscada, and shrimp&mussels moque..." Read more

Parking sucks, but if you get to this place, the service, the owner (and chef), atmosphere, and FOOD is sooo good.I always get the same thing, which is the stroganoff.

"Food was GREAT! Another vote for the vegetarian lasagna de banana. I also would reiterate that the place is TINY, still the staff is constantly running, so you may not have the fanciest service. Not good for BRINGING kids, but I'm sure they'd enjoy the takeout!"

"Granted this is the only Brazilian place I've tried, but I think it's really good. The location is great. The portions are pretty big for its price, and the Brazilian Crab Cake is to die for. The rest of the food is all so wonderful. I've had their smoothie drinks, but don't like it much, but the ingredient they use in the smoothie is fresh, you can see..." Read more
