"My Brazilian coworker raves about this place and comes regularly with her family, so I wanted to give it a shot! Let me start by saying that this was my first experience with Brazilian food other than steakhouses, so I can't comment on the authenticity of Muqueca. I'm just comparing the experience to the various other Latin and European foods that I've had...." Read more

"I will be very straight forward about this one. Food: fantastic. Brazilian seafood stews in clay pots with coconut milk, veggies, and plantains. Fresh as can be. Trust me, you'll love it. Favorite dish: this is touch because there are few, but if you forces me I would have to go with the Fish Capixaba. Ambience: nautical? slightly on the cheesy-side but..." Read more

"Great service, and great food. I enjoyed both the juice bar and our muqueca. Between two of us, the muqueca, 2 juices, and a shared fried yucca was more than enough food.It was like all the good things in paiella, but tasted much fresher and really delicious- less grain/carb centered. We really enjoyed our meal. I liked the blueberry/mango/passion fruit..." Read more

"Flavors like fireworks in your mouth. Tastes so natural and light. Muqueca how do you do it so?I went with some girlfriends and we shared the fried yucca app, shrimp & mussels muqueca, and the chicken strogonoff. The strogonoff and muqueca came in cute pots, perfectly portioned with rice nicely plated. And oh my, was it so tasty yet simple. Lots..." Read more

"So good. I got the lasagna made with plantains and my boyfriend got the tofu and plantain muqueca. The lasagna tasted very rich (mmm cheese...) and the muqueca was really unique and delicious. I was expecting the lasagna to be a noodle lasagna with plantains in it, but the plantains in essence WERE the noodles. And that was perfect, because who wants to fill..." Read more

"The food is great. I had Muqueca with Shrimp,Mussels and Fish. Really, really good...the only problem, is the service. They are very nice but is very slow. We had to wait a lot for our drinks and they never came back to check on us or refill our drinks. But I don't think is their fault, we went there on Sunday evening and they have just 3 people serving. Our..." Read more

Usually with Brazilian food it's meat meat and more meat, so it's a nice change of pace to go to a place that specializes in seafood!I think we went during shift change, so the service a little slow, but in general friendly.

"Everything they say about the place is true.  Wonderful food, friendly atmosphere, authentic dishes.For starters we had the cod cakes and the crab cake.  Both were delicious, but I especially loved the way it was spiced and stuffed into a wooden shell (Filipinos do this with a fresh crab shell).  Very tasty.I know everyone here is praising th..."

"They wound't let us use a coupon on Valentine's day even even though the voucher didn't say anything about holidays. If they were busy then I maybe would have understood, but there were two tables filled when we were there. The seafood muqueca was okay, but on the verge of being fishy. The only item I enjoyed was the fried plantains, but it's really..." Read more
