"Delicious.  I told my friend I never had Brazilian food before and was surprised with some Muqueca.  We had Moqueca de Peixe and a bean sauce that was to die for.  The fish was perfectly stewed in a yellow sauce with all of the garlic and onions you could want.  One entree is enough for two people to go for seconds a few time. They don't scrimp on the food...." Read more

"I am Brazilian and I love good food.
Muqueca sure is my favorite Brazilian restaurant around Boston. Beats Fogo de Chão, in Copley Square, with both better service, authenticity and a way more delicious menu and Oasis, in Medford, with better service and organization.

Keep up the great work meus amigos. I'll go there every time I have a chance to."

"This place doesn't deserve to have visitors. The service is very slow and they are not gentle at all. THE FOOD IS NOT EVEN BRAZILIAN FOOD. I am part Brazilian and the foods had no taste...It was quite offensive to Brazilian culture. Even my six year old cousin who could do so much better with preparing the food. And what about the FEIJOADA? GUYS GO TO BRAZIL..." Read more

"Good food! My fish and shrimp moqueca simply needed more salt or seasoning ... was very bland. But overall, very good. The flan is the best flan I've ever tasted! Delicious!  Great service and great presentation of food. Would definitely return!"

"We really didn't know what to expect based on the mixed reviews but fortunately for us - we had a great dining experience. The service was on the slower pace but friendly. Think we should have ordered their specialty dish (clay pots) instead we ventured to other items in the menu. We ordered the following: chicken patties seafood casserole fried red sna..." Read more

"We ordered one thing, they delivered a different dish. It took so long to get what we wanted. By the time they put foods on the table, they were cold and real messy. This was my 2nd trial due to many great comments. How could people rated them 4-5 stars......they must be a family member."

"In town from Queens, NY exploring Boston area Brazilian restaurants. A great experience with regional foods that were new to me. My wife is from Sao Paulo and knew what to expect after visiting the Muqueca website and reading Boston reviews. I was pleasantly surprised. Atmosphere okay, service was fine, but the food was wonderful."

"Love the food here. The house special "muqueca", mariscada or fried snapper are all excellent.  Great food for the price.  Wait can be long so make a reservation.  They won't give you a table unless all parties are present."

"Good paella in a pinch, but nothing to write home about. Taste of dishes reminds me a bit of a chain restaurant, as if the meal was mass-produced. I don't believe the restaurant is part of a chain, however."
