"SO GOOD. SO GOOD. SO GOOD. the mussel and shrimp muqueca is to die for. the rice mixes so well with the stew. YUM. the fried plantains are great as well. the place is small so be ready for a wait if you go during peak time!"

"First time having Brazilian food - so I don't have much to compare it to, but as far as a meal is concerned, this is as good as it gets. The restaurant was clean and nicely decorated, the wait staff was very friendly (kid-friendly too) and willing to explain the unfamiliar dishes.From the juice bar, I had the Blue Cazu, which the waitress explained had a..."

"If I could give this place 6/5 stars, I would. This place is one of the saving graces for the terrible food scene that poor Cambridge has to offer. We came here for Sunday lunch, and as soon as the doors opened at noon, five other groups came in. The decor was really nice - did they recently remodel? We started off with fried yucca served with ranch, which..." Read more

"Walked over here from Harvard Square. First time eating Brazilian. I had the mussel muqueca and my friend had fish muqueca. We finished off the meal with some flan and fried plantains. Yum! I left feeling satisfied/full, but not in that uncomfortable/gross way.

Thanks Yelp for a great recommendation!"

"I really enjoyed this place. First off, you have to try their fresh fruit juice; Their pina colada and Tropical Freeze (Banana, Pineapple, Orange Juice, Cashew & Passion Fruit) is REALLY fresh & well worth the money. Their seafood is really fresh - their fish was delicious! We ordered a fish/rice plate and a tripe stew. Overall, everything was really wel..." Read more

It was soooooo good. I mean, I read on Yelp that it would be good, but it was soooooo good. I had the Shrimp Moqueca, and my boooyfriend had the Mariscada. Mine was a little..." Read more

"Got back from Brazil a few weeks ago ... I was jittery, cold, difficulty staying awake ... yup, definite diagnosis of Brazil withdrawal syndrome. My friend prescribed dinner at Muqueca. We experimented with the fried frog legs ... tasted like chicken to my unsophisticated palate. The seafood muqueca was excellent, full of bubbly goodness, great spices, and l..." Read more

"I've been here a lot over the years. Muqueca is great Brazilian seafood. Everything on the menu is flavorful and incredible.My favorite is the mariscada  - incredible. I often add in a fish and shrimp moqueca - which I don't find as tasty, but is still really good.I've also had crab cakes, yucca, coconut shrimp, steak tips with onions and fries, and..." Read more

"The food was absolutely delicious! I ordered the seafood casserole with rice! I highly recommend this dish.

The place is a bit small, but we ended up waiting for just 10-15 minutes on a Friday night. So, all in all, I enjoyed the atmosphere and had a yummy dinner."

"We were out for dinner to this place on a freaking cold Winter Friday and were welcomed with a warm blow of heat from the space heaters hanging from the wall as soon as we entered the place.It's exactly what we expected. A small, packed, foodie, hole in a wall joint with very friendly waitresses and good looking food. We tried everything recommended by t..." Read more

"I was having a wickedly craptastic day last week.  Tearing into the fried whole red snapper at Muqueca *totally* fixed my mood.The place was packed, and a little cramped, with a line that formed seconds after we walked in and snagged the only open table.  But the service was excellent - really friendly waitress - and the food was amazing.  Lots of gr..."

"I went to this place with a few friends. We were lucky to get seated right away, since this place is tiny. However, they are soon moving to a larger place down the street. Good thing, since they seem busy. The man that took our order was really friendly and nice. We ordered the frog leg appetizer, just to be adventurous. I wasn't impressed with the fro..." Read more

The food was absolutely amazing. I will not come back to the Boston area without eating there again. I had the Seafood Rice Casserole. It was so flavorful (cilant..." Read more
