"This is, in my opinion, the best Brazilian place in the area. It's also one of the best restaurants in Boston in my view. 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. Be sure to try their fruit drinks - wonderful especiall..." Read more

"If you're ever in Inman Square, I'd definitely recommend this Brazilian gem of a restaurant. The place was packed for lunch at 1pm on a Saturday afternoon, which is always a good sign. After enviously eyeing the drinks at everyone else's table, we decided to try something from the fresh juice bar. I highly highly recommend the "Brazilian Summer" made with..." Read more

"145 reviews is clearly not enough, so here's another paragraph of praise. We went to Muqueca at 2PM on Sunday, and it was packed. Fortunately we knew to call ahead and we only had to wait 5 minutes when we arrived. Wherever the recession is, it must have skipped over this restaurant. It's not a fancy place, or a big place, or a center of elegant dining...." Read more

"We always start up with the order of yuka and the special sauce, that is always good. The specialty is the muquecas ( seafood stews). it comes sizzling and tasty. It comes with a side of rice so you can mix with the the muqueca. it is a very typical Brazilian seafood place. While you are there don't forget to order the Brazilian Guarana soda, cashew juice or..." Read more

"This place is fantastic! The food is excellent and reasonably priced. We didn't have a reservation at got there about 6:15 on a Saturday night. We had no trouble getting a table but by 7 you would have had to wait (you can make reservations) The staff was very friendly although they didn't speak a lot of english. I ask what was in one of the sauces and..." Read more

"This place is great. They found a way to get us a table even though they were filled with reservations for the whole night. I had the moqueca with fish and it was fantastic - but I didn't love the sauce that went with it. Even better was the maranasca.... or something like that.
YUM"

"This place was fantastic. We went in the early afternoon, and I suspect we were lucky that there was a table just opening up; there is very little space. The service was friendly but inattentive. They actually forgot an appetizer we had ordered. But the entrees were so substantial they may have been doing us a favor. I couldn't finish even half of my dish...." Read more

"It won't be too romantic: Always crowded, tables were moved and shuffled more than once I ate here. Family and casual atmosphere, not too different from what you'd see in Sao Paolo, according to those who've been there. But the food is great. I always get Lasagna de Banana (plantain lasagna in cheese) and something else. The tropical drinks are good too, an..." Read more

"Hmmm soooo good! We tried the chicken Brazilian patties to start and they were so delicious, we actually cut up the last one with a little knife so that everyone got exactly equal amounts. We also tried the Fish Muqueca, the Feijoada and the Cod Capixaba - they were all amazing, but I especially like the Cod Capixaba because it had coconut milk and that's a..." Read more

"All I can say is EXCELLENT! Some of the BEST Brazilian food I have eaten. The seafood meals are wonderful and fresh. It's a cozy atmosphere and the people are friendly. Get there early becauase the line is always out the door. The only thing it lacks is wine. I would love a glass with my meal."

"For constantly great homy style brazilian food, I recommend Muqueca. It's ideally located close to Inman square and to Christina's Ice cream shop. Food is served in a hot stone bowl and contains cilantro, lemon, tomato flavors. Their seafood dishes are probably the most popular and are close to spanish paella. For $10-$20 per entree, there's nothing you can..." Read more

"Really, really delicious.I have been searching for Salgadinhos for years. 23 to be exact. I couldn't remember what they were called, but I've never seen them on a Brasilian restaurant menu. I remembered them as tasty tasty little patties filled with spiced ground meat and fried to perfection. And that is what Muquequa served me. That alone gives them..." Read more

"I started going here a few years ago but never get to go as much as I'd like. I have tried the fish stews and the yuca and they are amazing! Such great food and home cooking for the price. Highly recommended!"

"if you have not tasted fafa's muqueca you have yet another thing to live for. because words cannot convey the delectable splendor that is fafa's muqueca, i will stop here and invite you to try it yourself. too bad they don't have a liquor license. lord knows they tried but the grumpy neighbors stopped them in their tracks."
