"My friend who is from Brazil first took me to this place a few months ago and since then I have been 4 times. The restaurant is very small but they will take a reservation so call ahead for a table. The drink menu is not very expansive, HOWEVER they make an amazing capriana and they do have a few good wines and some beer to choose from. The cuisine is nor..." Read more

"Awesome clay pot cookery of fresh seafood and vegetables served with enchanting, searing habanero sauce. Reasonably priced, parking around back, and nice decor. A winner!"

"Oh. My. Goodness. So awesome!I had the mussel and fish moqueca with a side of fried plaintains. The plantains were so delicious; the moqueca was totally ridiculous. I've never had moqueca before and I know I'll be going back as often as I can afford. It was in a tasty, but sort of thin, broth, chock full of mussels -  I was expecting maybe 5-10 musse..."

"Amazing, authentic and earthy food. A must for any seafood lover who enjoys traditional ethnic fare unlike anything served elsewhere. This is NOT your typical Brazilian buffet/BBQ restaurant. A regional cuisine from coastal southern Brazil. Don't be afraid to ask what everything is. The flavors are just wonderful and the staff is friendly and welcoming. It'..." Read more

"I had been wanting to try out Muqueca for over a year. I'd heard good things. I'd never tried Brazilian food but loved seafood and paella, so it seemed appetizing. But from where I lived in Mission Hill, it was quite a trek to Inman Square. I kept thinking about it, but it never quite worked out. This past May I moved to Inman Square. Suddenly Muqueca was..."

"This place is amazing! The food is out of this world, delicious, unpretentious and inexpensive, vibe is very nice and so are the staff. Do yourself a favor and check it out, and don't forget to ask for their special homemade hot sauce to go with whatever your main order is."

"Went here on my 5th wedding anniversary. The wait staff volunteered to put my flowers in the refrigerator to keep them fresh! Service was very, very good. We had the fried yucca appetizer (good) and my husband had the fish and shrimp moqueca (also good). I decided to try their chef specialty - lasagne de banana. This was sweet bananas in a rich and savor..." Read more

"This was my first time at Muqueca, and first time at a Brazilian restaurant of this kind. They just moved to a bigger place down the street in Inman, and were packed on a Sunday night, which I think speaks for itself. "Brazilian fish stew" just doesn't have much of a ring to it, but man, it was the most awesome thing I've eaten in a long time..." Read more

"Had a lovely dinner there with my parents after waiting in line for 45 long minutes (something that is apparently common at this establishment). I had never had Brazilian food before although I've had Portuguese and Spanish food before. I was familiar with linguiça and yucca but had never had muqueca - on the other hand I've had my fair share of caipirinhas...." Read more

"I was blown away by how good the food was. I had the Moqueca Completa, which is a brilliant fish stew that has a delicious sofrito-based broth. To hell with my Irish heritage, this to me is perfect comfort food. I could eat this in any weather and feel like it hit the spot. The kids had fish and chips. The batter had a great flavor, and while I'm not sure wh..." Read more

"This restaurant almost falls on my way home from work and for close to 5 years now I have been looking at its signboard skeptically from a distance. Muqueca - didn't ring any bells (turns out, it's Brazilian and pretty well known actually!). Then one day I noticed that the restaurant had relocated a few blocks and now fell directly on my route.
