"I love the Muquecas! I usually order the Muqueca Completa, which has almost everything. Although it might seem pricy at first, it is so sharable because I cannot possibly eat one Muqueca by myself, so I always share with my boyfriend. In the end, still a great value. The Shrimp Saute Garlic Olive Oil & Cilantro is a TASTY appetizer, GET IT. :) Brazilian Cr..." Read more

"Completely great experience on a rainy early Tuesday evening - 6:30 is a good time to go: meters are done, so free parking right outside and a prime window seat.  Airy blue ocean colors, complementary artwork, and soothing Brazilian music at just the right level.  Service was quick and attentive.  Caipirinha was ok, but not freshly made.  Crispy coconut shri..."

"I had a longer review of this place all lined up, but then I got bored of it becaus my writing style is pretty poor. So here is the expedited version of it. I went to Muqueca with 7 other people, and pretty much everyone enjoyed their food.  $20 a dish enjoyment? Not quite, not really that close actually, more like $12 a dish enjoyment. That..."

"Came here because a friend of mine had a coupon. Didn't know what to expect but didn't come away disappointed. We started of with the house salad which was a little unusual but very good. It had corn and hearts of palm on top of the usual lettuce, tomato and etc. For main entree I had the steak which came in the cast iron skillet with fries and black beans..." Read more

"This place is charming with great service. Not the cheapest (fish muqueca is $23) but the quality of the ingredients is very good. We always get the fried yucca with the yummy garlic dipping sauce and the fish muqueca. Love the juices too!"

"Clearly, Muqueca's a popular and highly regarded spot with great tradiotional Brasilian cuisine. I tried the Fish and Calamari Moqueca which was quite tasty - softer flavors that came through nicely without any hint of blandness and well-cooked white fish and calamari. BUT...at $24, I have to say I can get considerably better for the same or less. It just..." Read more

"Beautiful, charming little restaurant with fantastic service and delicious food. The claypot seafood selections (Muqueca) are truly not to be missed...the fish comes out so moist and delicious! And if you like heat, ask for some of their housemade hot sauce which is also outstanding (great flavor and some serious kick). The waitstaff is also very friend..." Read more

"Husband and I enjoyed Muqueca for dinner. Our server was very friendly. I had the beef stroganoff. Not what I expected at all, but very good. Not being very familiar with Brazilian fare, it surprised me that it had little french fry crunchy things on it. Is that a traditional thing? Doesn't seem like it, but it worked. Husband had the seafood casserol..." Read more

"I like Brazilian food but was very disappointed with Muqueca.       First, I inquired about a vegetarian dish, and when the waitress listed tofu, I stopped her.  I told I didn't like tofu, so she suggested another dish.  When it arrived, surprise!  Tofu!  I was starving & just didn't eat the tofu.  But there wasn't much to this dish anyway.  Boring,..."

"Went here for a birthday dinner with 6 friends and we had a 8:30 Reservation. Most of the group was late and did not arrive until 9, but Muqueca was very accomadating and understanding! The group was late because parking was an issue; this is not the best location for parking! On to the food... Started off with the fried yucca..so good! I have never had th..." Read more

"Hello affordable mouth-watering seafood casserole! No joke this place is an experience - one that you won't regret. The traditional Brazilian food here is out of this world. I would vote for the dessert too! The drinks however, I won't recommend. I've never actual had them but I've seen the size of them and they are so comically small that they probably won'..."

The yucca was amazing! Nice and crispy and dense. I picked at it all night! The sausage was good but a little salty to eat by itself (the boy had no problem finishing the saus..." Read more
