"I had the recommended "complete" seafood stew dish with my friend last night. Unfortunately the stew smelled bad when it arrived and we both could barely eat it. The shrimp was fine but when I had the mussels, I had to spit it out. It was spoiled, not fresh. I believe that was causing the poor odor from the stew. I also noticed that our server was not pre..."

"I'm honestly confused by all the amazing reviews. I would not recommend nor return to this restaurant. Got the fried frog legs ($8), fried diced chicken ($12), and the fish moqueca ($19). The frog legs were alright. Very dry, but admittedly they were supposed to be fried. I would not get this again. They tasted like a leaner/more muscle-y version of chic..." Read more

"I love this place! I've been twice for lunch and had grilled chicken with rice and beans and the fried yucca with steak tips, both dishes were delish! My fave drink is the Mango Sambo. The atmosphere is comfortable and well lit, and the service is quick and friendly."

"I would highly recommend making a reservation beforehand if you plan on coming during prime dinner times, as this place packs up pretty quickly and the place itself is not the most spacious. Being in a large group allowed us to try many of their dishes, and I was so glad that I did! Each of us got one of their smoothies, and I got to try the mango samba, m..." Read more

"This place is a gem! The juices are good and the Muqueca Completa is where it's at. It is a savory stew of boneless fish, shrimp, and mussels with tomato and onion. It's served with soft, fluffy rice and comes with a side of delicious fish-based sauce to go over the rice. The Blue Caju and the mango, papaya juices are delicious. It's a great post-workout d..."

"Muqueca is famous for their stews served in clay pots. Their cuisine is a mixture of Brazilian native Indian, African, and Portuguese cooking. Don't be fooled by their facade- it's simple, quaint, and very clean. But their food is amazing!! OK appetizer: fried frog legs. My man went wild and randomly ordered frog legs. Those frog legs are really muscular an..." Read more

Our fried plantain appetizer was delicious, my wife's Fish Moqueca was delicious, my Shrimp Bobo was delicious, and the flan we split for dessert was so good we decided to get two other desserts to go. The entrees were a rema..." Read more
