"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

"How have I NOT written a review on this? It's been over a month since I came here for my b-day with Barbara Ann, Paul, Jessika, Miss Dishie, and Barbara Ann's children. 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

"Summary --- Intimate homely atmosphere, Awesome food, will go there again any day.. Main Write up -- Went there this past sunday for dinner with a friend. I'm semi vegeterian (will eat meat, but, like to have veg. options if the meat dishes are not appealing), so, I was a bit apprehensive about going to a brazilian restaurant. But, the food w..."

"This place was really good! Very tiny place - there is absolutely no waiting area what so ever. I felt like I was eating dinner at someone's home - the waitstaff all spoke Portuguese and were very friendly. The Brazilian food was very good - the moquecas, plantains and rice were extremely filling and very reasonably priced. For about $20 a person we prac..." Read more

"Glad I read some reviews before going because I was willing to wait it out until my friends and I got a table on a Saturday night. It was worth it. Great flavors and portions for the main courses, and the blended juice drinks went well with it all. I'd recommend reservations. I read somewhere here that they don't take them on Friday's and Saturday's? I don..." Read more

"Too bad I think I'm allergic to something here (post-dinner hives are no fun), because the food was yummy. Coconut shrimp are some of the best I've had. Lots of fresh juices (try a true pina colada here) and fresh fish. Good prices. Tiny space, few tables. Don't let that stop you."

"This place was truly fantastic! even in a neighborhood with lots of other great Portuguese/Brazilian restaurants. 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. The shrimp entree was also flavorful although the veggie sides were lacking. They als..." Read more

"I chose Muqueca for my last meal in the Boston area (for a while, at least) because I was in the mood for plantains. This inspired me to order the "Lasagna de Banana", which, despite its name, wasn't bad at all--though the sheer quantity of cheese started to bog me down after a little while. I got to try a little bit of my mother's muqueca and it was wonderf..." Read more

"Solid. It is such a good feeling when you try a place on a whim and it turns out to be a great experience. Thats what happened last night at Muqueca. I acknowledge the comments of many regarding the potentially long wait for seating and slow service. This is a small place and it seemed like they only had a couple people working. We were able to sit down righ..." Read more

"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

"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
