"Wicked good- different from the bras steak houses. Much more vegetarian and seafood friendly. Food tastes hand made and fresh- great selection, fair prices. I'd come here any day over one of the steak houses. I wish they had pao de queijo though."

"This place offers very unique food, which is nice in the time of burgers and pizza. But just beware that there are A TON of fried options here! As in, it's almost impossible to order an appetizer that isn't fried!We started with the fried yucca, which was nicely cooked and the sauce that came with it was a good, light accompaniment. We also had a fri..." Read more

"Authentic Brazilian seafood with comfortable seating and fair prices. They also have a lot of dishes from the interior of Brazil. The servings are generous. If you're looking for Brazilian BBQ, this is not the place for you."

"Outstanding! We requested to sit at the bar and were served immediately by two friendly servers. I asked for recommendations on everything and wasn't disappointed. Appetizer: Fried yucca (with delicious cream dipping sauce)Entrees: Lasagna de Banana (hearty, cheesy, reminded me of eggplant parm) and their signature dish Plantain and Tofu Muqueca..." Read more

"Live in the area so thought would give this place a try, something different as I've never had Brazilian food before.Went with my bf for lunch.  There was only one other table when we arrived.  The service was very friendly and cheerful with smiles on their faces but SLOW as molasses.  Picture 2 servers and 2 tables, what kind of service would you ex..."

"It took me ages to actually come here because, well I had no idea what a portuguese seafood restaurant was and I had no idea how good it was going to be but really what people should have been telling me is that I could be eating plantains and frogs legs and finishing off with a steaming bowl of mussels, shrimp and chunks of fish.For some reason they'll..."

"Such a cute place! Came for dinner and really loved the food. Wine is great at $5 a glass. We ordered crab cakes and it came in such a cute clay pot and was steaming hot. Delicious! My two friends and I shared the special fish dish thst comes in a big pot and with rice. So good. Only complaint is that is is lit up like a Christmas tree inside. For a dinner p..." Read more

"When people think of Brazilian food, they think steakhouse. While the steakhouses are great, Muqueca offers a different and refreshing perspective to Brazilian cuisine. There are no slabs of meat, mainly fish stews. My wife and I have tried the Muqueca Completa and Shrimp Bobo, both of which are delicious! You cannot go wrong with either. Make sure you..."

"Unique twist on comfort food for a cold winter night! This was both our first visit and our first exposure to moqueca, and unfortunately we didn't have much time (though service was quick enough to get us to the concert without seeming at all rushed). We thoroughly enjoyed the rice stew and the mixed fish moqueca, and we agreed we have to put aside time to t..." Read more

"Average food. Nothing memorable. Actually over priced for what you get. I paid $30 for a main dish. I'm expecting something that i could say, that was pretty good. Lousy service if you're not Spanish/Portuguese speaking. Won't refill my water but the Spanish (?) speaking people on the table beside us were waited on head and foot."

"I went here with my boyfriend and a friend and thought this was a great find! We ordered some of the traditional muqueca dishes and it was delicious; I love seafood so this was perfect for that. I didn't try anything form the juice/smoothie bar, but my friend did and was very pleased. I really love ethnic food especially since I don't feel that the Boston..." Read more

"Nice medium decor and ambience. Not high end fancy like Fogo do Chao, but not hole in the wall low end either. Wife and I liked their caipirinha drinks, and they have milk for kids. Good $6.95 fried fish sticks and fries plate for kids with rice and beans. Wife and I liked the fish moqueca and moqueca completa dinners in the hot clay pots for dinner. Th..." Read more

"I ate some good things here: a bowl of beans and pig meat all spiced up and hearty, a simple, onion-y, fish-heavy seafood stew with a clear broth, and a similar one with coconut milk broth, fish, and mussels, and also a kind of crazy good crab cake.I also drank too many of those dangerously cheap caipirinhas. But so it goes.I had a bit of an..." Read more

"There are only a few reasons why you might take a pass on Muqueca, but they weigh heavy with us. We went only once, two years ago, and we've never been back. Why on earth is that?It's a little pricey for how filling it is (or isn't) and my husband left hungry. Oh dear. It's just tasty home cooking. I make a fish stew similar to these, and it..."
