"This is the only place I've have Brazilian cuisine and have fallen in love with it. Aside from that this place serves food fresh and made to order. The staff is extremely nice and very accommodating."

"Its a hole in the wall but the food is awesome. The shake is fresh, LIKE VERY FRESH. I don't think they include sugar in it so it may taste a bit plain.I like my drinks with sugar so most likely wont order that again. If you like Chinese Shabu Hot Pot or Korean's Tofu Chigae (that's how I would relate the stews here)- then you will love it HERE! They are..." Read more

"The fried shrimp app is light and fluffy, and the muqueca is very tasty, but pricey. Service has been slow every time I've eaten there: make sure you have enough time to enjoy your lunch."

"I LOVE this restaurant! The main dishes are delicious, particularly the seafood stews. They also have great appetizers and absolutely delightful fruit smoothies. Basically, if you like South American food/seafood, you will be happy. The staff is friendly but there can be a very long wait on weekend nights. Overall I am always excited to eat there."

"Muqueca is seafood overload. It's a nice change from the Brazilian barbeque joints I'm accustomed to (and probably less of a pending heart attack). I started with a blueberry-pomegranate smoothie (b/c smoothies are like crack to my inner Whitney)--ooh that hit the spot. Awesome fruit concoction. While the fried yucca w/ garlic sauce was quit..."

"Not what one thinks of when thinking of Brazilian food! This area of Innman Sq. is littered with BBQ houses serving up meaty portions, but Muqueca is different.  This northern Brazilian restaurant offers hearty seafood stews, whole fried fish and bean and pork stews.   The house salad includes apples and hearts of palm with thin cut sweet onions and green ol..."

"Pretty sure Muqueca just moved into my top ten favorite restaurants. Casual, small tables, not particularly warm and cozy, but food? Seriously awesome. Excellent service, and friendly. Skip the appetizers, go straight for the Moqueca. We had an order of the coconut shrimp that was a little over fried and some cod patties that were good. Moqueca is a Brazi..." Read more

"Came here on a late Saturday afternoon. The food was delicious but the service is what knocked off the last two stars. The waitress was rather surly to us because she didn't think we'd ordered enough and we got our food later than people who sat down after us. My friend had gone here the week before and she mentioned that she and her dad definitely were not..." Read more

"Yucca!!! Soooo good... You better get you some of that Muqueca too. What exactly are you doing at this place if you dont? Good desserts too! P.S. This review is an understatement... I'm feeling kind of lazy after going review crazy today, so give me a fricken break -- I'm out of steam. Why don't you just go here, eat the damn good food, and write a..." Read more

"The mariscada is delicious, and I'm not even big on seafood. It's got lots of big and little shrimp, mussels, and squid, and comes in a yummy coconutty/tomato-y broth. The plain moqueca that it comes with is too salty for my taste. If you get this dish, I'd suggest splitting it with someone because it's a lot of food. Coconut shrimp = yum, calamari wasn'..."

"Right when you walk in you're immediately hit with a fishy smell - except this time around it's a good kind. Seafood enthusiasts would love this place for it has the perfect balance of intense flavor and incredibly well cooked seafood. It's a small restaurant with an incredibly eclectic patronage. At any given time I have seen people of all nationalities s..." Read more

"I haven't been to Brazil, but the foods good. They get really busy, so it's ideal to come early.

We got the muqueca and it was delicious. It's not cheap, but not super expensive either. And as an added bonus, also they don't skimp on the seafood.

I definitely would like to come back and check out the rest of the menu."

"My husband and I went to Muqueca for the first time intending to use our Groupon, but we were in a hurry at the end of our meal because I had an appointment to get to and we forgot to use the coupon... Whomp, whomp. Oh well, at least the food was good enough that we won't mind going back!We started out with some juice (more like smoothies), which I r..." Read more

"This place was really good. I love seafood and the menu is perfect for a seafood lover. I got the Mariscada and it was delicious. BF got the steak and it was good, but not great. I'd stick to their seafood options 'cause it seems that they know what they're doing with that. The place is small so reservations are recommended...even on a weeknight."

"The food is really tasty and BIG. I go with a girlfriend of mine, and we get the plaintains side, yucca side (with yummy aioli type dipping sauce). Then we usually share one of their seafood dishes, the mariscada. It's in a coconut milk broth and has mussels, calimari, kinda like a yellow version of cioppino. We followed this up with coconut tapica. T..." Read more

We had 1.5 muqueca completa, fried calamari for appetizer and he had soup. We also got 2 mixed juices from the juice bar.  The food is delicious, needless to say, I love this place, but in the end we were left with $75 bill. For a dinner for 2  that is quite expensive..."

I recommend ordering Tapas style assuming the people you're with people open to such things. Regardless, you must try something from the juice bar. A nice place to..." Read more
