"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..." Read more

"The food here is absolutely delicious. I had the fish muqueca (kind of a seafood stew that you can choose which main ingredient(s) you want) and my friend had the fried fish fillets. They were both made with haddock, and both were incredibly tasty--in different ways.Even the rice was flavorful. It's steamed with garlic and possibly other things...." Read more

"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

"This will be brief since a lot of reviewers have done the work for me in terms of more specific descriptions. This place is amazing in a way I don't usually hoot and holler about. Like, if you were in front of me right now, I'd grab you on both shoulders firmly and look right into your eye and tell you that you NEED to experience this restaurant. Like, if y..." Read more

"It is an absolute failure on my part that I have lived less than a 10 minute walk from this place for three years and I am just now experiencing it. Stupid Daniel. Stupid, stupid, Daniel.Luckily I have great friends who say things like "what?!? You've never been?!? We're going!" and so I finally popped in and I haven't stopped thinkin..." Read more

"this place is delicious! i ordered the seafood moqueca, and, like my fellow yelpers, was not disappointed. flavorful, filling-but-not-too-heavy, perfect. service was prompt and friendly. i don't recommend going in large groups, though, as seating is tight."

"My husband and I were visiting Boston and found this place through Yelp (it was one of the best reviewed restaurants). This restaurant is in a little Brazilian/Portuguese neighborhood in Cambridge. 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

"This place is fantastic! I was lucky enough to dine here the last two times I visited my sister and brother-in-law in Cambridge. I don't know if its even worth the trip now that they've moved to a different neighborhood (just kidding, just kidding!).I can't list specifics from memory, but the seafood stews we ordered were like a slice of Portuguese h..."

"Just to give you an idea, I was sitting next to a Brazilian guy who came all the way from Cape Cod and described this place as the "best Brazilian restaurant in the Northern Hemisphere [..] and I've been to Panama and other countries." Every patron in the restaurant seemed to be so happy to be eating this food, be it they were in groups, a date, or..." Read more

"Finally! Something I bookmarked and actually got to try! Love the neighborhood in Cambridge. This was a wonderful way to celebrate my 3rd month in MA. Cute little joint I think my friend Marie and I met the owner/chef. She was wonderful. She took us on a tour of the menu and it's everything other Yelpers have been barking about but better when you get to eat..." Read more

"I'll just pile on. Great food, and good prices. It is popular and small, so there is sometimes a wait. I recommend going early."

"Muqueca is on the outskirts of Inman Square but certainly worth the short walk, I got the Mariscada which inconspicuously says on the menu "Must Try". It was basically some kind of seafood stew with mussels, shrimp, squid, and crab meat. It came with a good side of rice, some kind of warm plantain soup that you are supposed to put on top of the Mariscada, I..." Read more

"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

"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
