"Delicious and something different among Boston's otherwise bland default food, albeit a little overpriced."

Muqueca is also well known by many MIT and Harvard students as the place to order their authentic traditional caipirinha (Brazilian hillbilly drink).I suggest ordering their side of plantains. Their Feijoada ComPleta is a Brazilian National Dish and re..." Read more

"Can't say enough about how good this place is. We've lived in the area for a while and have walked by it remarking to ourselves, "This place looks interesting", but never had the motivation to walk in. Well, tonight we decided to give it a try. Dude.. it was outrageously good. We had the moqueca, a plate of veggies, and flan for dessert. All amazing. F..." Read more

"Tiny little place that none of the locals seem to know about. If there's large parties the servers can be a little overwhelmed. Just be patient. Everything we tried here was good. Had the traditional caipirinha aka Brazilian hillbilly drink. Most of the dishes come with sides such as rice and plantains. Had a beef dish and shrimp and fish dish. Both v..." Read more

"So good! Seated right away on a Saturday night. Got the muquequa completa, yucca fries, cod cakes, and a caipirinha and it was bomb! The flavors were great. The stews are perfect comfort food for brisk New England autumns and cold winters. My only negative is that although tasty the food was pretty salty. I like my food aggressively seasoned, but this was gi..." Read more

"Oh wow. This place is fantastic!Every dish is ridiculously good. We got the fried chicken, plantains, and crab cake for appetizers. Then we got the the fish stew for the entree and . The chicken was so flavorful and distinct. The plantains were a warm, soft bite of HEAVEN. The crabcakes were good, but were kind of outshined by the other apps...." Read more

"First of all, I'm Brazilian. And I'm very picky when I eat my home food abroad. I've been here a couple of times, and this place doesn't disappoint me. It's easy to get a table during lunch, but it gets crowded at night. yes, get a reservation. Ok, let's start with the food. For appetizers, the Brazilian crab cake is good, but it's a simple portion.

"Great food, huge servings, you might want to share. The seafood was fresh, very high quality. I ordered a simple lemonade, it was freshly made, probably the best I've ever had. A simple thing, but pride in details."

"Fabulous food, amazing service and one of my favorite places in the county. We've been there for evening, lunch and it is always consistent. My favorite are the scallops baked on the half shell. The moqueca dishes are beyond belief wonderful. They import the ingredients from Brazil so this is not something I can replicate easily at home. That makes it a rea..." Read more

"The Shrimp Bobo is fantastic. It's made with yucca, which is made into a kind of a cream. Out of this world. The side dishes are very reasonably priced. For example, $3.50 I think it was for broccoli and carrots. We also had the fried yucca, which is very much like potatoes -- outstanding! For dessert the "manjar coco n tapioca" is sweet and luscious,..." Read more

"Okay...definitely best spot for Brazilian food in Boston! Upon our arrival, we waited a couple minutes because it was starting to get busy, but once seated, the service was on point. Our waiter was very friendly and asked if we had any questions about the menu. We ordered two caipirinhas and the fried calamari with the passion fruit dipping sauce. The drinks..." Read more

"I was so excited to come here after reading all the reviews. I was wildly disappointed.  We really should have known better than to eat here - when we walked in on a thursday evening, we were hit with a wall of old fish smell.  It smelled like an outdoor fish market in a hot country at night, after all the fishmongers have gone and only the runoff li..."
