"We had a late lunch today and stumbled into the best meal we've had since we moved here to the Boston area three and a half years ago. 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

"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 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."
