"Mmmm... this place is absoutely amazing!I really liked the Plantain Lasagna as well as the fish and shrimp muqueca. Both are flavorfully rich but very different, good complements to each other. The lasagna was a suprising but well paired mixture of banana and (predominantly, it seemed) mozarella cheese - soo good! The fish is soooo amazing in..." Read more

"Really nice little place: I love the blue and orange theme, and the menu is really well chosen although their "veggie dish" signifier applied to dishes with sausage, chicken, and fish in them. (I think it's a very Brazilian take on the term "veggie": it ain't beef.)I had the lasagna de banana--i.e., plantain lasagna. It was super heav..." Read more

"Really cute restaurant, food is delicious and very flavorful! We had the fried yucca, shrimp bobo, and feijoada. All were wonderful with exciting new flavors. Lots of food, at times a bit rich for us. I can't wait to go back!"

"Dinner at Muqueca was the perfect thing to cheer me up on a rainy, grumpy day. We had the fried yucca, shrimp muqueca, and feijoada, all hearty flavor and deliciousness. The portions were larger than I remembered them being (we probably could have shared a single stew), but that is my only complaint (hardly a complaint) about this small, inviting place run..."

"The seafood muquecas (stews) offered at Muqueca are a warm, fuzzy blanket of food love on a cold day. It's totally worth the walk on a chilly night to pick up comfort food to go, if, like me, you're too cheap (and too close by) to pay Dining In to bring it to you.Truth be told, go to Muqueca anytime you're craving a yummy seafood fix. The stews are..." Read more

"Rainy day? Have some muqueca. Then go home and cozy up in bed to take a nappie. Perfect day.Deliciousness. The cod capixaba and the shrimp muqueca were very good. Wish there were more plaintain goodness in the capixaba. You may also refill on rice a few times in order to finish the stew (refill does cost extra).Not super cheap, but if you get..." Read more

"I've been wanting to go to Muqueca for the longest time but it requires the stars to be aligned for a- me to be at Inman Squareb- there not to be a long line or wait at Muqueca!Well the heavens finally answered me and I tried it out! It was indeed delicious. We started out with fried yucca, which were lightly fried and not too oily. T..." Read more

"I brought some friends here who were visiting from out of town. One of them is part Brazilian. I have had Brazilian food a ton of times but not at this restaurant and not specifically the muqueca dish.The place is tiny and cozy. Has seating for 20 people -tops. I don't think they serve alcohol but who cares? GO FOR THE FRESH JUICES. If you have a hea..." Read more

"One of these days, I'm going to hide in the restaurant until they close and then eat ALL THEIR FLAN and run away. Chocolate flan? Evil geniuses! Their fried yucca is pre-tty phenomenal, too.The only thing that I didn't dig was their steak tips with onions appetizer, cause the steak was overcooked. And I hate it when I have to leave little mashed..." Read more

I adore their fish muqueca and fruit smoothies. The amazing food, brightly-colored dining room, and friendly owners make this place worth the wait."

"Went there last weekend for lunch during an out-of-town trip. I've been on a South American food kick lately and this place looked promising.The place is small, colorful, and instantly made me feel like I was on vacation somewhere tropical. A giant plate of fried yucca was brought out as an appetizer, which was addictively good (especially..." Read more

"This place is tiny, so get there early, or you'll be waiting out in the cold for a table. Once you're seated, it's definitely worth the wait. I had the Chicken and Shrimp Moqueca, and it was perfect. The sauce was flavorful, the rice was fluffy, and the portions were enormous.The food itself is worth five stars, but I took one off for slow service..." Read more

"While you're reading this review, wondering if you should try it, the line is lengthening. So, I'll keep it short. You'll love anything that includes a mix of seafoods served in an old-country pot. Bye."

"I know this place gets crowded, so I came on a weekday. Yum! Despite all the hype, Muqueca didn't disappoint.The restaurant is named Muqueca for a reason -- try it! For some reason, even though the price difference is a dollar, the fish and shrimp muqueca is almost twice as big as the shrimp-only muqueca. Fish stew has never tasted so great. I really..."

"Too bad I think I'm allergic to something here (post-dinner hives are no fun), because the food was yummy. Coconut shrimp are some of the best I've had. Lots of fresh juices (try a true pina colada here) and fresh fish. Good prices. Tiny space, few tables. Don't let that stop you."

"This place was truly fantastic! even in a neighborhood with lots of other great Portuguese/Brazilian restaurants. We ordered the muqueca (stew) with clam since they're the specialty of the restaurant. The clams, while not fresh were plentiful especially for the price. The shrimp entree was also flavorful although the veggie sides were lacking. They als..." Read more

"Solid. It is such a good feeling when you try a place on a whim and it turns out to be a great experience. Thats what happened last night at Muqueca. I acknowledge the comments of many regarding the potentially long wait for seating and slow service. This is a small place and it seemed like they only had a couple people working. We were able to sit down righ..." Read more

"The place was indeed small -- when we first got in we weren't sure where to stand while waiting to be seated. It was a busy night, too. Thankfully, the hostess was fair and let us take the table reserved for a party that was a no-show (more than 15 minutes late without calling). The menu was full of great-sounding stuff.I was going to try the Strawbe..." Read more
