"Beautiful, charming little restaurant with fantastic service and delicious food. The claypot seafood selections (Muqueca) are truly not to be missed...the fish comes out so moist and delicious! And if you like heat, ask for some of their housemade hot sauce which is also outstanding (great flavor and some serious kick). The waitstaff is also very friend..." Read more

"Husband and I enjoyed Muqueca for dinner. Our server was very friendly. I had the beef stroganoff. Not what I expected at all, but very good. Not being very familiar with Brazilian fare, it surprised me that it had little french fry crunchy things on it. Is that a traditional thing? Doesn't seem like it, but it worked. Husband had the seafood casserol..." Read more

"My favorite restaurant in Inman square.  Often times I take my out of visitors here as it is tough to recreate this coastal Brazillian flavor profile elsewhere.  I order the moqueca or the deep-fried red snapper and ignore the rest of the menu.  I'm impressed by the consistency of the moqueca.  It tastes the same every time (major kudos from me).  The fruit..."

"I like Brazilian food but was very disappointed with Muqueca.       First, I inquired about a vegetarian dish, and when the waitress listed tofu, I stopped her.  I told I didn't like tofu, so she suggested another dish.  When it arrived, surprise!  Tofu!  I was starving & just didn't eat the tofu.  But there wasn't much to this dish anyway.  Boring,..."

"Went here for a birthday dinner with 6 friends and we had a 8:30 Reservation. Most of the group was late and did not arrive until 9, but Muqueca was very accomadating and understanding! The group was late because parking was an issue; this is not the best location for parking! On to the food... Started off with the fried yucca..so good! I have never had th..." Read more

Great for dinners with friends, family, significant others... heck, find any excuse to eat here! The Best Dish: Seafood Casserole.

"Hello affordable mouth-watering seafood casserole! No joke this place is an experience - one that you won't regret. The traditional Brazilian food here is out of this world. I would vote for the dessert too! The drinks however, I won't recommend. I've never actual had them but I've seen the size of them and they are so comically small that they probably won'..."

"I had a Travelzoo voucher for this restaurant and was so excited to try Muqueca with the boy after reading these reviews.Apps: fried yucca and sausage, and the fried frog legs. The yucca was amazing! Nice and crispy and dense. I picked at it all night! The sausage was good but a little salty to eat by itself (the boy had no problem finishing the saus..." Read more

"I was really excited to try Muqueca, because I LOVE Bom Cafe, and they're under the same ownership.I had Feijoada Completa, the Brazillion National dish. The collard greens and plantains were good. I found the black bean stew to be just okay. It had a very strong black bean taste...so much that I couldn't really enjoy the other flavors in the stew (t..." Read more

"Hated this place. The specialty fish stew seemed like it was just some fish and some salsa put into a pot. It tasted really fishy...not fishy-suspicious but fishy-fishlike. We also tried the pork loin and it was dry and bland and served with very bland vegetables. For what we got, it was quite pricey. The place was empty at dinner time on a weeknight...." Read more

"What a disappointment. The seafood muqueca that we got was very bland, it is also quite small. The Brazilian national dish, Feijoada Completa, was really tasty, it had a good combination of sausages, pork, and pork belly (nom nom)"

"My home away from home is Vila Velha, Espirito Santo, Brasil, where I had my first taste of Moqueca. Watching my sister-in-law make it in one of those clay pots, the smell coming from the kitchen was like heaven. This place has the best authentic Moqueca in the area. I'm glad I found this place, it brings me home, even for a short while. Favorites: Mo..." Read more

"I was so excited to try this place after buying their deal on Travelzoo: $39 for two appetizers, two entrees, and two desserts. However, I was pretty sad when I left the restaurant. Here's why.Not only were we treated poorly for using their "deal", they wanted to hurry us out without even having dessert! The portions were way smaller than the..." Read more

"Great food. Different kind of Brazilian restaurant. Mariscada and Shrimp Muqueca is my favorite. Service can be slow so be patient. Food is worth it! Try Caipirinha with your meal."

"You know those restaurants that you've come to time and time again that have never disappointed you? Muqueca, to me, is one of those restaurants. As a result I know that when I peruse the menu, everything is potentially delicious.

Highlights: Capirinhas! The Fried Snapper! Any of the Muqueca!

Book a table on weekend nights."
