"I have been here a few times now, and I feel finally qualified to give my opinion on this establishment. It is a small place, and I believe that is partly what give Muqueca its charm. You feel like you are eating in some back street in Brazil, like you have found that coveted unknown restaurant that you can brag about to you friends for having eaten "s..." Read more

"I had a dream last night I was running on a beach towards a bowl of their plantains. Hmmmm.. true wuv. It was the total opposite of the serial killer raptors dream.. but that's neither here nor there. I came here a couple days ago and still love love love this place. I shared in a bowl of plaintains, Brazilian crab cake, mariscada, and shrimp&mussels moque..." Read more

"Food was GREAT! Another vote for the vegetarian lasagna de banana. I also would reiterate that the place is TINY, still the staff is constantly running, so you may not have the fanciest service. Not good for BRINGING kids, but I'm sure they'd enjoy the takeout!"

"Granted this is the only Brazilian place I've tried, but I think it's really good. The location is great. The portions are pretty big for its price, and the Brazilian Crab Cake is to die for. The rest of the food is all so wonderful. I've had their smoothie drinks, but don't like it much, but the ingredient they use in the smoothie is fresh, you can see..." Read more

"God, this place is so damn good. Parking sucks, but if you get to this place, the service, the owner (and chef), atmosphere, and FOOD is sooo good.I always get the same thing, which is the stroganoff. I know what you're thinking - is that Brazilian? Doesn't matter because this is the best plate you'll ever taste. I've taken four or five people here j..." Read more

"One of the bf's best high school friends was in town, so we arranged to meet her plus two other people at Muqueca for a late lunch. We were a chatty group. The bf and his friend had a lot to catch up on. Plus, when you get a cluster of medical students together, they inevitably nerd out and start talking nonstop about bodily functions and medical procedur..." Read more

"The food is delicious and the service is great! I never get disappointed when I come here. The Chicken Stroganoff is one of my favorites. It has a rich creamy taste but the richness is not too overbearing. I've also tried the Prime Cut Sirloin, Shrimp Moqueca, and Shrimp Bobo. These entrees are also quite delicious. However, I personally would choose t..." Read more

"Another cute little gem. I just had an amazing meal at Muqueca. We decided to do something different for dinner and Brazilian sounded great. We were graciously welcomed in on a Saturday evening. The server we had asked us if it was our first time dining and said we would be very well taken care of. I immediately knew we were in good hands.Start your..." Read more

"The place was indeed small -- when we first got in we weren't sure where to stand while waiting to be seated. It was a busy night, too. Thankfully, the hostess was fair and let us take the table reserved for a party that was a no-show (more than 15 minutes late without calling). The menu was full of great-sounding stuff.I was going to try the Strawbe..." Read more

"Mmmm... this place is absoutely amazing!I really liked the Plantain Lasagna as well as the fish and shrimp muqueca. Both are flavorfully rich but very different, good complements to each other. The lasagna was a suprising but well paired mixture of banana and (predominantly, it seemed) mozarella cheese - soo good! The fish is soooo amazing in..." Read more

"Really nice little place: I love the blue and orange theme, and the menu is really well chosen although their "veggie dish" signifier applied to dishes with sausage, chicken, and fish in them. (I think it's a very Brazilian take on the term "veggie": it ain't beef.)I had the lasagna de banana--i.e., plantain lasagna. It was super heav..." Read more

"Really cute restaurant, food is delicious and very flavorful! We had the fried yucca, shrimp bobo, and feijoada. All were wonderful with exciting new flavors. Lots of food, at times a bit rich for us. I can't wait to go back!"

"Dinner at Muqueca was the perfect thing to cheer me up on a rainy, grumpy day. We had the fried yucca, shrimp muqueca, and feijoada, all hearty flavor and deliciousness. The portions were larger than I remembered them being (we probably could have shared a single stew), but that is my only complaint (hardly a complaint) about this small, inviting place run..."
