"There are not enough stars for this place. The restaurant might not like reservations for 17 people on a Friday at 630pm, but they will do it. The small place gets packed around 7pm..didn't really see many people having to wait because it seemed to have a good turn around rate with customers coming and going. Appetizers: Calamari not a fan of their brea..." Read more

"We loved the food! We had the fish muqueca, which was excellent (esp if you like cilantro), and the Cod Capixaba (salted cod with hard boiled eggs, plantain & coconut milk), which was DIVINE. We started with Brazilian patties of cod, also excellent. The waitstaff was very nice and friendly (including personal visits to our tables by both owners), prices exce..." Read more

"it's delicious.
we had fried snapper, sweet plantain, brazilian summer, ... and the mango mousse was so rich. the shrimp muqueca was the least favorite.
the waitresses were friendly. the place is tiny and packed, so be prepared to wait and get rushed out. i guess that's part of the experience, and it's well worth it."

"Sorry to buck the trend, but I had one of the WORST restaurant experiences in years at this place. For starters, the service was terrible. The waitress FORGOT our order entirely. We waited for our food for 25 minutes before reminding the waitress that we were in the restaurant. Thinking that I didn't speak Portuguese (which I *DO*), she admitted to anothe..." Read more

"It's probably not fair to write a review of a restaurant without trying its food, but I must give an enthusiastic thumbs-up to the service at Muqueca. I went to buy a gift certificate on a Sunday afternoon and although the place was surprisingly bustling, the two women who greeted me and processed my purchase were so friendly! I have been to many other pla..." Read more

"We ordered the calamari, mariscada, fish muqueca, and chicken vegetable broth for delivery. The calamari had the ratio of breading to calamari that we like a lot and the sauce was very nice. The Mariscada sauce was also amazing with a great assortment of seafood. Fish muqueca was also delicious although I find it interesting to cook fish in so much sauce...." Read more

"This place was as good the second time as the first, and deserves an upgrade to five stars. I got the vegetarian muqueca (with plantains and tofu), and I didn't care that it was missing meat. That to me is the mark of a good vegetarian dish. The service is good, the price is acceptable, and the stews are awesome."

"I've been in Boston for almost 3 months now, and this is the first place I've been to that compelled me to write a review. Our dinner at Muqueca was the best I've had in Boston. We arrived on a Saturday night around 8 and waited about 15 min for a two person table, but I'd recommend a reservation because it's a very small space. We ordered the coconut shr..." Read more

"I used to live in this area and always walked by wondering what this restaurant was all about. It always looked busy and we tried to go once but the wait was too long. I moved to Brighton and forgot all about it until I saw something that reminded me. We hopped in the car on a random week day and went to dinner.It is quite small with maybe 12 -15..." Read more

"Really, really, really good. :) This place is a nice little restaurant with Brazilian food. The tables were a little too close to each other which made it a little uncomfortable for having private conversations. The moqueca was so great that it made the experience worth while and it was enough for two people."

"Literally, as good as it gets. Came here with my Brazilian friend, who claims that this is the best Brazilian restaurant in Boston she's found. High praise, indeed. Four of us descended on the restaurant on Friday night around 7. Having called ahead, we had a reservation in place, but it was not really needed as there were two tables open. Having said t..."

"Went out there for a dinner with a large group. The food was excellent. And as a vegetarian, the Muqueca with tofu was very yummy...its rare to find a place with that much good seafood (according to our friends) and have fantastic vegetarian food."

"Great food, great juices, and the price is just right. Walked in on a Saturday night at seven on a whim, they had two big reservations but maneuvered the tables and sat our party of two along with another no reservation party of two within twenty minutes. I felt bad when both large parties were late and incomplete but the staff handled it quite well. We spli..." Read more
