"Muqueca exists to set the standard for Brazilian food in Boston. Their signature dish, after which the restaurant is named rocked my world. It's a seafood stew served with rice and some other accompaniments. The taste is so rich and good - it's to die for. There does tend to be a wait on the weekends. I put my name down, got a tea at 1369 and came back in a..." Read more

"Went there last weekend for lunch during an out-of-town trip. I've been on a South American food kick lately and this place looked promising.The place is small, colorful, and instantly made me feel like I was on vacation somewhere tropical. A giant plate of fried yucca was brought out as an appetizer, which was addictively good (especially..." Read more

"I know this place gets crowded, so I came on a weekday. Yum! Despite all the hype, Muqueca didn't disappoint.The restaurant is named Muqueca for a reason -- try it! For some reason, even though the price difference is a dollar, the fish and shrimp muqueca is almost twice as big as the shrimp-only muqueca. Fish stew has never tasted so great. I really..."

"I went into Muqueca knowing absolutely nothing about Brazilian food, and I left unable to stop raving about it! If you like seafood and cilantro, your tastebuds will dance and sing with the very first bite here.Got the fried yucca and crabcakes as an appetizer -- the yucca was so lightly fried, it didn't fill me up too much so I couldn't eat my main..."

"We ate lunch here for the first time today, happily ate the leftovers tonight and loved it so much that we're going back for dinner tomorrow. Robust seafood flavors and perfect spicing make this the kind of place that you'll look back on if you move out of the area, remembering the good old days when you could just go to Muqueca. I'm already nostalgic for it..." Read more

"Yes, it's worth the line. Give your name, go to Christina's and eat a small bit of dessert first. Then half an hour later, dive into one of their signature seafood dishes and revel in your brilliance. Collard greens, bomb. Plantains, scrumptious. Smoothies, spectacular. Do you see all the superlatives? Count the number in all these Yelp reviews. Need any m..." Read more

I was advised by the most knowledgeable Miss Jessika that, "you don't come here for steak or chicken, you come here for the seafood". And so I ordered a Fish Moqueca but substituted the ric..."

"This place is great. I was in Boston for two separate trips during the summer of 2007. During my first stay is when I found Muqueca. I don't know they name of the name of the neighborhood, but there's lots of Portuguese & Brazilian influences. Muqueca was my first Brazilian food experience, and they didn't disappoint. I went w/ a Brazilian smoothie. I..." Read more

We ordered the muqueca (stew) with clam since they're the specialty of the restaurant. The clams, while not fresh were plentiful especially for the price.

"Awesome Brazilian food. I've been to Muqueca twice now. I love the interior which is unassuming and painted in bright colors with photographs on the wall. The place is definitely small. Which is rough if you want to eat with 6 people, but I think sets a great atmosphere. The first time, my group of four had to wait around 20 min for a table. The seco..." Read more

I adore their fish muqueca and fruit smoothies. The amazing food, brightly-colored dining room, and friendly owners make this place worth the wait."
