"Just to give you an idea, I was sitting next to a Brazilian guy who came all the way from Cape Cod and described this place as the "best Brazilian restaurant in the Northern Hemisphere [..] and I've been to Panama and other countries." Every patron in the restaurant seemed to be so happy to be eating this food, be it they were in groups, a date, or..." Read more

"I was so drunk on this stuff (figuratively) that I really don't remember what we ordered! We got five or six dishes to share for the 8 to 10 of us (I told you I can't remember the details), but I just had to add my four stars to these reviews.First, the cilantro isn't too overpowering. Even those to whom cilantro tastes like soap didn't mind. Was tha..." Read more

"I have to say the service was fine and perfectly friendly, and the food was not bad for the money. But seeing all the wildly positive reviews, I must say I went in with high expectations and left slighly disappointed.. 1) the place gets really noisy. 2) the shrimp in my muqueca bowl tasted much better than the fish did. On the plus side, it was light on..." Read more

"it's delicious.
we had fried snapper, sweet plantain, brazilian summer, ... and the mango mousse was so rich. the shrimp muqueca was the least favorite.
the waitresses were friendly. the place is tiny and packed, so be prepared to wait and get rushed out. i guess that's part of the experience, and it's well worth it."

"This place was as good the second time as the first, and deserves an upgrade to five stars. I got the vegetarian muqueca (with plantains and tofu), and I didn't care that it was missing meat. That to me is the mark of a good vegetarian dish. The service is good, the price is acceptable, and the stews are awesome."

"I used to live in this area and always walked by wondering what this restaurant was all about. It always looked busy and we tried to go once but the wait was too long. I moved to Brighton and forgot all about it until I saw something that reminded me. We hopped in the car on a random week day and went to dinner.It is quite small with maybe 12 -15..." Read more

"Really, really, really good. :)
This place is a nice little restaurant with Brazilian food. The tables were a little too close to each other which made it a little uncomfortable for having private conversations. The moqueca was so great that it made the experience worth while and it was enough for two people."

"GREAT FOOD! I never had authentic Brazilian food and this was such a great experience!!I ordered the national Brazilian dish...they served a pretty big portion which I couldn't finish. It was really good!! I just want everyone to try the dessert! They are reasonably priced at $3 and they are fantastic....wow! LOL Try the Coconut and Tapioca..." Read more

"Went out there for a dinner with a large group. The food was excellent. And as a vegetarian, the Muqueca with tofu was very yummy...its rare to find a place with that much good seafood (according to our friends) and have fantastic vegetarian food."

"I know this place since 2001. At that time, food was just as perfect as today, and at much lower price, but I never had to wait for a table. I started writing good reviews about them online, and a few years later, I regretted writing good reviews. I can't even get a table even in a slow day! If you like light but tasty codfish stew, this is the place to go...." Read more

"interesting food!well I have only been here once and I think I really liked it. But my friend an I also ordered something we didn't like! the crab cake was awesome. it's a lot of food and you should probably consider sharing! not a good place for vegetarians. even the veggie options have some kind of meat!!!But overall, I will go..."

"I've been here so many times and I have never once been disappointed. One of my favorite dishes is the steak that is served with rice, beans, and a fried egg. It is not super seasoned, but it is well done and is very tasty.The last time I was here, we started with fried yucca which was simple but tasty. It is a pretty sizeable portion for an appet..."

"This place is amazing. Went recently on weekend night, the only downside was the wait...it's a very small place, i would highly suggest reservations...but it is more than worth the wait. The service was great and the staff was very accommodating,they even took our order while we waited so our food was almost ready as soon as we were set. W..." Read more

"This is, in my opinion, the best Brazilian place in the area. It's also one of the best restaurants in Boston in my view. I've been to Rio and I've only found a couple places that are better than Muqueca in Somerville.The muqueca dishes are classical favourites. The seafood casserole is also good. Be sure to try their fruit drinks - wonderful esp..." Read more

"This got high reviews on Yelp, so my coworker and I decided to check this place out. I was mildly disappointed. The food was decent, but I didn't see what all the hype was about. I actually enjoyed Bossa Nova's food (in SF) more. We ordered some coconut rice dish and the fried yucca."

"145 reviews is clearly not enough, so here's another paragraph of praise. We went to Muqueca at 2PM on Sunday, and it was packed. Fortunately we knew to call ahead and we only had to wait 5 minutes when we arrived. Wherever the recession is, it must have skipped over this restaurant. It's not a fancy place, or a big place, or a center of elegant dining...." Read more

"Delicious. i recommend the Muqueca- a fish stew from a region in Brazil. Its large enough to split with two. For me, the best sides are the kale and plantains (banana frita.)
Some of the dishes are too much meat for me, but Muqueca's signature dish is the brilliant fish stew!
Small place and sometimes there is a long wait."

"This place is great. They found a way to get us a table even though they were filled with reservations for the whole night. I had the moqueca with fish and it was fantastic - but I didn't love the sauce that went with it. Even better was the maranasca.... or something like that.
YUM"

"i really like this place. the food is very yummy, mostly fish (duh, it's fish stew), which is rather different from many of the brazilian restaurants i have been too. the place is very tiny, but feels cozy and friendly. definitely get a few people to go so that you can try different dishes. Any muqueca dishes are definitely signature dishes, but also try..." Read more

"Very Yummy! I would give it a 3 and half star. My fish soup need little bit more salt but it is very delicious. Plantain Lasagna is very sweet. We also had coconut shrimp as appetizer. It was bit oily but very crispy and tasted good with the sauce. My favorite dish there was the rice. Their rice was very well cooked, soft with wonderful taste. Two thumbs up!..." Read more

"Who doesn't love Muqueca's food, friendly service, warm decor, and authenticity? I won't bother to say much about those well established joys.I found out last night that they take reservations... Even for two people. How did I find out? When I walked in the door at 7 with my bf, the staff got panicky. They had several empty tables ,but they were..." Read more

"So good. So crowded. but So good. MMMM I need to try this banana lasagna people are talking about! I've been here several times, always with new people, and so excited to show them my hidden jewel! The fish stew is just lovely, especially on a cold rainy Boston day. They also make fresh juices. Ahhh.. Brazil"

The space is tiny, but it creates a fun, authentic atmosphere.We tried a couple of the muqueqas, the signature dishes, which were wonderful for a cold winter night. The stews stay warm and are pretty filling withou..." Read more

"This place is fantastic! I was lucky enough to dine here the last two times I visited my sister and brother-in-law in Cambridge. I don't know if its even worth the trip now that they've moved to a different neighborhood (just kidding, just kidding!).I can't list specifics from memory, but the seafood stews we ordered were like a slice of Portuguese h..."
