"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."

"Aside from the lack of alcohol, Muqueca is a fantastic find. As a seafood junkie, Muqueca is my seafood fix. The seafood is fresh, the service is pleasant, and the range of classic to exotic dish selections is aplenty. There are also a number of non-seafood dishes, but I would suggest non-seafoodies to visit their website to review the menu before a visi..." Read more

"As a rule of thumb, people should try restaurants whose names are difficult to pronounce just by reading the sign on the outside. I'm so glad I finally tried Muqueca. It's the kind of ethnic cuisine that people travel far and wide to try; not just because you're "in the neighborhood." It's also the kind of cuisine that you're not sure whether to order for..."

"I know this place since 2001. At that time, food was just as perfect as today, and at much lower price, but I never had to wait for a table. I started writing good reviews about them online, and a few years later, I regretted writing good reviews. I can't even get a table even in a slow day! If you like light but tasty codfish stew, this is the place to go...." Read more

"This is probably one of my favorite restaurants in the Boston area. If you like seafood of any sort, you should give Muqueca a whirl... and when you go, you or someone who's willing to share with you absolutely need to try one of the "muqueca" dishes and/or the mariscada. Beyond that, the fried plantains are good as are their various fresh fruit smoothies...." Read more

"I've been here so many times and I have never once been disappointed. One of my favorite dishes is the steak that is served with rice, beans, and a fried egg. It is not super seasoned, but it is well done and is very tasty.The last time I was here, we started with fried yucca which was simple but tasty. It is a pretty sizeable portion for an appet..."

"This place is amazing. Went recently on weekend night, the only downside was the wait...it's a very small place, i would highly suggest reservations...but it is more than worth the wait. The service was great and the staff was very accommodating,they even took our order while we waited so our food was almost ready as soon as we were set. W..." Read more

"Tonight was my third dinner at Muqueca and each visit has been as delicious as the last. The restaurant is small and usually crowded, so if you can, call ahead for reservations. We waited 35 minutes for seating last night, but the staff let us place our order beforehand and by the time we had our table, our appetizers were ready and the entrees were just..." Read more

""Muqueca" is one of the only restaurants in Boston that specializes in serving muqueca capixaba (not to be confused with the similar but distinctly different muqueca baiana), a traditional Brazilian seafood stew from the state of Espirito Santo. Delicious and authentically cooked & served in traditional handmade clay pots, go to Muqueca for their signatur..." Read more

I've been to Rio and I've only found a couple places that are better than Muqueca in Somerville.The muqueca dishes are classical favourites. The seafood casserole is also good.

"Heard awesome things about this place so went with a few friends to check it out. This was my first non-bbq exposure to Brazilian food and I LOVE seafood so I was excited. We shared several appetizers and dishes among us to get a good sampling. The Brazilian crab cakes and fried Yuca with some kind of yummy sauce -- both awesome. The calamari was not specia..."

"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..."
