"So good. I got the lasagna made with plantains and my boyfriend got the tofu and plantain muqueca. The lasagna tasted very rich (mmm cheese...) and the muqueca was really unique and delicious. I was expecting the lasagna to be a noodle lasagna with plantains in it, but the plantains in essence WERE the noodles. And that was perfect, because who wants to fill..." Read more

"The food is great. I had Muqueca with Shrimp,Mussels and Fish. Really, really good...the only problem, is the service. They are very nice but is very slow. We had to wait a lot for our drinks and they never came back to check on us or refill our drinks. But I don't think is their fault, we went there on Sunday evening and they have just 3 people serving. Our..." Read more

"Have been hearing good things about this place for years; finally went to try it out on a recent Sunday afternoon. Usually with Brazilian food it's meat meat and more meat, so it's a nice change of pace to go to a place that specializes in seafood!I think we went during shift change, so the service a little slow, but in general friendly.

"The cocktails are made with low alcoholic content, which for a brazilian kaipirinha makes it a little bit awkward."

"Everything they say about the place is true.  Wonderful food, friendly atmosphere, authentic dishes.For starters we had the cod cakes and the crab cake.  Both were delicious, but I especially loved the way it was spiced and stuffed into a wooden shell (Filipinos do this with a fresh crab shell).  Very tasty.I know everyone here is praising th..."

"Muqueca gets the coveted 5 star spot from me.   Everything is just so DELICIOUS there.  Mind you, I have only tried a few things but I have never been disappointed.  Throughout the years, I have frequented Inman Square on a pretty regular basis.  For years, my boyfriend would point out Muqueca and and I would shake my head and say, 'no, I don't like..."

"My Brazilian friend introduced me to this restaurant and I am a big fan of this place. Their prices are reasonable and the seafood is always fresh. Nice to try something different once in a while, and all of their muqueca is great. Very friendly staff as well."

"They wound't let us use a coupon on Valentine's day even even though the voucher didn't say anything about holidays. If they were busy then I maybe would have understood, but there were two tables filled when we were there. The seafood muqueca was okay, but on the verge of being fishy. The only item I enjoyed was the fried plantains, but it's really..." Read more

"Shrimp muqueca is the best thing I've had anywhere.  Fantstic kale.  Great fried plantains.  Don't order the Brazilian national dish - it's not great.

The gravy is useless to me.  

Always good to make reservations if it's an evening meal."

"This is one of my favorite restaurants in the Boston area that I can't find anything similar to anywhere else (in the area or in any other major city). The muquecas are absolute comfort food that is especially good on a cold day. It's a small restaurant so the wait can sometimes be a while. Since there's no waiting area, it means waiting outside."

"Great place. My favorite is their signature dish--the moquecca--made with fish, tomatoes, awesome spices, rice-- always served piping hot. Comes to the table bubbling in a clay pot. Can be a little noisy--but I fel it adds to the charm. On the wall is a story of how they make the special cookware in Brazil. People are friendly."
