"This is the only place I've have Brazilian cuisine and have fallen in love with it. Aside from that this place serves food fresh and made to order. The staff is extremely nice and very accommodating."

"I LOVE this restaurant! The main dishes are delicious, particularly the seafood stews. They also have great appetizers and absolutely delightful fruit smoothies. Basically, if you like South American food/seafood, you will be happy. The staff is friendly but there can be a very long wait on weekend nights. Overall I am always excited to eat there."

"Not what one thinks of when thinking of Brazilian food! This area of Innman Sq. is littered with BBQ houses serving up meaty portions, but Muqueca is different.  This northern Brazilian restaurant offers hearty seafood stews, whole fried fish and bean and pork stews.   The house salad includes apples and hearts of palm with thin cut sweet onions and green ol..."

"Delicious!!  If you are a seafood/shellfish lover, this is the place for you!Definitely get a starter, the moqueca takes a while so you'll want some munchies. We got the fried yucca, they come with a delicious garlic sauce. For entrees we shared the fish and shrimp moqueca and the black beans and pork "brazilian national dish". The mo..." Read more

"Pretty sure Muqueca just moved into my top ten favorite restaurants. Casual, small tables, not particularly warm and cozy, but food? Seriously awesome. Excellent service, and friendly. Skip the appetizers, go straight for the Moqueca. We had an order of the coconut shrimp that was a little over fried and some cod patties that were good. Moqueca is a Brazi..." Read more

"Yucca!!! Soooo good... You better get you some of that Muqueca too. What exactly are you doing at this place if you dont? Good desserts too! P.S. This review is an understatement... I'm feeling kind of lazy after going review crazy today, so give me a fricken break -- I'm out of steam. Why don't you just go here, eat the damn good food, and write a..." Read more

"Just went there for lunch. We had the cod patties and coconut shrimp for appetizer and mariscada and moqueca completa for entre with fried plantains on the side. All were very good and the mariscada and moqueca were absolutely delicious. For three people, we left stuffed and have another meal or two left. This was probably the best food we've had since movin..." Read more

"What can I say that hasn't already been described here? I'll just comment that.First off, come a bit early. I met some friends here on a Thursday at 7pm. I walked in at 6:50 and it was EMPTY. But by 7:15, it was TOTALLY PACKED. Literally not 1 seat left except the bar. Luckily we squeezed in to the last table. So come early, and don't be put off if y..." Read more

"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

"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..."

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."
