"Cute little place! Really enjoyed the caipirinhas- refreshing and strong! I had the seafood casserole, which was also excellent and flavorful. Service was good. Cute ambience with lots of fish themes. Will definitely be back!"

"This place is great. We've only done delivery, but it's been consistently delicious, and everything is unique. And we live practically next door, but their delivery is always prompt and hot. Highly recommend."

"Tasty, decently priced Brazilian seafood stews with freshly squeezed juices = a nice tropical respite in an otherwise grey and cold season. The fried yucca is the way to go for an app- it's fried perfectly, and that mustardy dipping sauce is a great compliment. The boy had the feijoida completa, which was a lot of good and heavy food made tastier with the h..." Read more

"Service staff were attentive and friendly. Prices were reasonable for the amount of food you get. My party of two ordered the fish muqueca, calamari, and some sort of seafood rice dish I can't recall the name of. Overall I felt the taste to be pretty bland. They relied on the sauces to add any flavor and stopped by our table twice to ask if we had hot sauce..." Read more

"Got dinner here on a Saturday night - the place was pretty crowded, though it seemed very family friendly. A lot of the seafood and moqueca entrees sound very similar, and we opted for the mariscada, which came with a plaintain moqueca and crumbled plaintain topping, and the fish moqueca, which came with a side sauce. The rice was fragrant and both of the se..." Read more

"Order a last minute catering order for an event that was in 3 hours and they were willing to work with me! The food was awesome! everyone seemed to like it. The bread balls were super good and the beef plate was seasoned to mouth watering goodness. If you want to get catering for an event, this place was definitely a hit in terms of atypical but tastey food..." Read more

"Expensive -- all entrees seem to be in the 20$ range -- and not super tasty. Pretty bland and the fish stew wasn't very tender. The quantity of food was okay, but nothing like extra special or anything. I got the chocolate flan (4.50$), and it was quite tasty. It's not as rich as the other comments make it seem, it's what'd I'd expect from any chocolate dess..." Read more

"Great food, great service, great ambience.

Must try the fried yucca, muquecas, coconut shrimp, mariscada, fried frog legs if that is your thing. Desserts are also incredible but huge."

"This is truly one of the gems of East Cambridge. Full of flavor and character, Muqueca provides a great, albeit a bit noisy when the blender is going, dining experience. It is a bit pricey, but there's enough to share for two or for tomorrow's lunch."

"Muqueca was full of hits and misses for me. The flavors were excellent. I had the mariscada which they label as a must try. It lives up to the hype, spiced well, and thickened/sweetened a bit with coconut milk. It was loaded with good seafood, including shrimp and crab meat. The shrimp were huge and juicy, cooked perfectly. The dish also featured musse..." Read more

"The food was really good. The beer list is rather small, but my girlfriend said the Sangria was pretty good. The food was absolutely fantastic however. Definitely check it out if you're feeling Latin American/Brazillian food."

"The best Brazilian food in Boston area...crave-worthy! The muqueca completa (like bouillabaisse) and feijoada (black bean soup) are always superb - great drinks. The staff is so friendly and always attentive. It's like stepping into Brazil into a typical intimate setting."
