"I love this place. My fav is the Muqueca and plantains.  I'm sad it moved a couple blocks further from me but I'm happy they are expanding and their new place looks beautiful.  I have to check it out!"

"I love this place. I first went there when I worked down the street and was  very small. I recently returned to the new bigger and better location, and not only are the new digs great - but the food was even better than I remember. Nice and light and packed with flavor. Wonderful menu, wonderful service. Clean bathroom too - bonus!"

"The last time I had feijoada was during an impromptu samba party at Bar do Mineiro in Santa Teresa in Rio de Janeiro... That was one of the great dining experiences of my life, so you know Muqueca is doing something right that I've given it five stars... I'm not brasilian, but as far I can tell, Muqueca is the genuine artifact... The feijoada is sublime and..." Read more

"After reading many great reviews about Muqueca on yelp, I finally ventured over and had dinner there last night. I have to say that the restaurant lived up to all expectations. We started with the fried yucca. The yucca was not overly oily and fried to perfection. I found their special house sauce just average. We had had the mango samba fruit juice which..." Read more

"The hostess was kind to seat us even though we didn't have a reservation, just cautioned that we needed to quickly order since our table was reserved in 1 hr and 15 minutes... This fortunately was more than enough time to have a wonderful meal... We tried both the muqueca completa and the seafood casserole. The seafood casserole puts the paella to shame,..." Read more

"I'm so happy that Muqueca moved to the larger space and is now only 2 blocks from my apt! After multiple visits, I prefer to order family style so I can have a bit of everything. The plantain lasagna is a sweet cheesy counterpoint to any muqeuca, but is way too rich for me to eat as my main dish.  Definitely get a fresh squeezed juice from the juice bar..." Read more

"I love this place and every single person I've ever brought here for a meal - and I always bring out-of-town guests who visit - love this place. They've just moved to larger and swankier digs, but the homey and comforting atmosphere remains the same, as do the outstanding muqueca dishes which are tasty, tasty, tasty. The ingredients are nothing unusual - shr..." Read more

"first off, don't expect to be in and out of here within an hour. the food takes time to prepare so you'll be sitting around watching other people eat before you get the chance to. If you're starving, go next door for a bag of chips to hold you over. You'll need it. This place did not disappoint. I had the Fish and Shrimp Muqueca. It's a seafood stew served..." Read more

"I went to Muqueca with my family last week-end and the adults shared 3 dishes: the Feijoada, their Plantain Lasagna and a "Muqueca Completa".  Of the three, the only one I was familiar with was the Faijoada, and I must say this was the best I have had so far.  The Muqueca was also very good while the Plantain Lasagna, although a bit heavy with all th..."

"I love this place!!! You need to go a few times to try the muquecas, the feijoada, the steak and the strogonof... and also make sure you try the fresh fruit juices while you are there.This is true authentic Brazilian food, not like the Midwest Grill that has a fake churrascaria set-up (that used to be across the street, but now muqueca moved further..."
