"Nice little find on this place. Couldn't get into Oleana so we went on Yelp and found this place. Great food, good service not the best looking room but it works. Good alternative. gs"

"Fried plaintains, shrimp bobo , and mango mousse with some sparkling wine. Life is good!
We were a group of 8-10 people and all our orders came through without any mix ups or confusions."

"I love the moquecas here. For some reason, I usually come here with large parties, but I need to get around here with smaller groups, too, because it's amazing. I like the colorful decor and the cozy/snug atmosphere, but you kind of want a reservation because the wait can be long at prime times."

"The dining space was clean. Waitstaff was attentive. Food was good - generous portions and timely arrival of dishes. Plus, the caprinha's was tasty. If you've got a few extra bucks and want a good meal in a great environment, give these guys a shot."

"It was my first time trying muqueca style food and loved it. This place was very authentic and actually the recommendation came from a brazilian friend. The juices bar is amazing. We had a couple of juices but the acai and guarana one was the best. We also tried the caipirinhas and that is a must. For main dish we had a shrimp and fish moqueca and it was ex..." Read more

"PheNOMenal! I didn't know how I would feel about a fish stew since I'm not used to that kind of dish, but the Mariscada was absolutely outstanding. It had shrimp, crabmeat, mussels and squid in a broth with tomato, onion and coconut milk. The flavors were incredible. I also tried one of the meat dishes, but I far preferred the seafood. The place itself i..." Read more

"Place is deff over-hyped. Came here after reading the Yelp reviews.So the ambiance and atmosphere is VERY casual - almost like a dinner, which is unexpected for the premium prices they charge. Our waitress kept trying to upsell us on drinks and appetizers and was disappointed when I just stuck with an entree and water and my gf with an entree and a j..." Read more

"We bumped into this wonderful restaurant as we wandered through Cambridge one warm spring evening. Locals spoke highly of it, so we dove right in! The fish Muqueca was outstanding! As fish lovers we were delighted. The flavors were distinct and distinctive, the service friendly and the ambiance pleasant."

"Best Brazilian place I've been to in New England. I went there yesterday with a couple of friends for dinner and the food was AMAZING. We arrived there around 6:30pm on a Tuesday night and the restaurant was practically empty. There is a small bar directly ahead when you walk in and there are some bench seating and small tables to the left. This rest..." Read more

"I love the Muquecas! I usually order the Muqueca Completa, which has almost everything. Although it might seem pricy at first, it is so sharable because I cannot possibly eat one Muqueca by myself, so I always share with my boyfriend. In the end, still a great value. The Shrimp Saute Garlic Olive Oil & Cilantro is a TASTY appetizer, GET IT. :) Brazilian Cr..." Read more

"I had a longer review of this place all lined up, but then I got bored of it becaus my writing style is pretty poor. So here is the expedited version of it. I went to Muqueca with 7 other people, and pretty much everyone enjoyed their food.  $20 a dish enjoyment? Not quite, not really that close actually, more like $12 a dish enjoyment. That..."
