"Made reservations for 7:30PM on a Tuesday. Place was somewhat busy with 3-4 tables open. As others have mentioned, this place is pretty authentic including the waitstaff. Service was ok, nothing special. Our waters were always being filled. Appetizer/sides Plantains...can't go wrong with this. Fried Yucca...ok. Entrees Seafood Rice Casserole...good/r..." Read more

"I went here with a real live Brazilian and let him do the ordering...I was a little disappointed by the appetizer selection, because almost everything was fried. But if that's how they do it in Brazil.... So we tried the cod patties ($6.95) and the fried yucca ($4.95). The fried yucca was pretty good, but I more liked the cod patties, especially b..."

"I love any place where the people that work there actually represent the culture of the food. So A+ there, Muqueca. But I don't like paying way more money for food that really isn't as flavorful as I feel it should be, especially for all of the lovely stew/muqueca options that you have here! Even with our buywithme we still spent $40 of our money for just..." Read more

"We have done our share of Brazilian food and I have to say this place was pretty good. Of course you must try the Muqueca it's amazing. The staff was OK but we really enjoyed our meal."

"Came here on a late Saturday afternoon. The food was delicious but the service is what knocked off the last two stars. The waitress was rather surly to us because she didn't think we'd ordered enough and we got our food later than people who sat down after us. My friend had gone here the week before and she mentioned that she and her dad definitely were not..." Read more

"So I guess Brazilian food isn't all about bbq, though that wouldn't have been a problem for me. :-PThe decor reminds me of a little seafood shack somewhere like Rockport. The walls are blue, and at least one wall is lined with sea animals and objects. Muqueca is a tiny place, so the wait may be long at times.The seafood rice casserole is very..." Read more

"Let me start off by saying that I've been to Muqueca numerous times, before it moved to its new location. The previous restaurant was small, but had this really warm, amazing atmosphere. Eating meals there always felt as if I stumbled on a great secret. It was always packed, but accommodating. Now, I don't harbor those same fuzzy feelings for this restaurant..." Read more

"The service here is weird. We came in and the two servers continued to converse and giggle for a few minutes before they paid any attention to us. Once we were seated, service was again kind of spotty for a while. After we ordered, everything was fine.I loved my caipirinha. How can you not get the official drink of Brazil when here? It was strong, in..." Read more

"My boyfriend and I went to Muqueca for dinner last week. I got the tofu/plantain muqueca, based on Yelp suggestions, and both my boyfriend and I were definitely not fans. It had a mushy consistency and was somewhat bland. The juice bar was very cool -- I would recommend trying something from there if you go."

"Delicious food. Moqueca available in various flavors, with cilantro enhancing the seafood. Feijoada was delicious, but I would have loved more beans to go with the delicious pork. Lunch, with three people sharing two dishes and one dessert was $19.00 each."

"This is a temporary review. One of a bad experience, but not necessarily so bad that I've given up on this place. The food was fantastic, just what the doctor ordered. Fresh seafood, Plantains, all kinds of latin goodness. The waiters seemed friendly enough . . The problem was, death by Labor day, perhaps. I was there Sunday night the place was packed. T..."

"Hadn't been to the new location but finally made it twice in one week. The new place has a friendly bar and a waiting area. It's much larger than the old spot but still intimate enough. Each time we have been, every table was taken. We continue to enjoy the various seafood stews, for the most part. They are full of rich, hearty flavor and very satisf..." Read more

"Not to be a killjoy but.... It seems that everyone has been drinking the caiprinhas a bit too fast to realize that the food here is not great. It good and its "A-OK" but that's about it. Sure its whooo-hoo Brazilian and its very busy but, uh, excuse me- I don't get the flavors. Shrimp- lovely to look at, but frozen and near zero in the actual flavor..." Read more

"After thirteen years in Cambridge, we decided to finally check out Muqueca. The new space (note: they have moved a block away from their original location) is colorful enough, though the room lacks any real kind of ambience or coziness (think of it this way -- Casa Portugal has more ambience than Muqueca -- and I don't think Casa Portugal is notable for its..."

"As a brazilian living abroad is always nice to find a brazilian restaurant when missing home.One of the problems I usually find is to reproduce the quality, richness and variety of a brazilian restaurant abroad, due to the difficulty to fine products.This place may not be as good as a brazilian restaurant set in Brazil, but for a place trying..."
