"Never really had Brazilian seafood stews before, but they are quite tasty. Had the Mariscada and another of the Moqueca dishes.

The food is reasonably priced, and the service was great."

"Funny that we haven't been here before, because my husband is Brazilian and I love their food. The food e muito bom! Fried Yucca - one of the best I've had here or Brazil! Golden and crisp on the outside, moist and soft on the inside (not dry at all). Delicious dipping sauce too. Frango passarinho was really good - crisp and dark golden and moist and lots of..."

"Love this place.  Pretty much everything that you order is very tasty.  It is a bit on the pricier end, but it's worth it on a cold evening.  Small downside is that the service is very slow since there seems to be only 2 people serving.  How can a place that serves banana lasagna be anything other then fun times?  :)"

"My bf took me here for my birthday and we had to try the signature dish, the moqueca completa in addition to the seafood casserole. They were both delicious! We also had some cod cakes that were not bad either. We had the flan for dessert and we give it two thumbs up. If you have a craving for seafood stew, this is your place!"

"After returning to Boston after two years, I was excited to go to Muqueca again, which I fondly remembered for serving delicious seafood stews. Unfortunately, after trying the restaurant again recently, I was disappointed. The smoothies are merely okay and are pretty expensive. I had the fried yucca, which was surprisingly dry. It really needed to be eat..." Read more

"Just OK. There were some good, but also some bad. I ended up leaving feeling underwhelmed... PROS: * Yuca as an appetizer -- definitely recommended! * Pineapple/Mint smoothie -- ah-mazing! CONS: * the calamari -- obviously frozen (all same-sized rings with a think breading that couldn't have been fresh). although the owner was kind enough to take it a..." Read more

"Pete and I and another couple stopped in for dinner on a Friday night; we had made a reservation and when we came in and were led straight to our table, it wasn't full at all. However over the length of the meal the room filled up rapidly with groups of people laughing and talking and enjoying their amazing food. We ordered up a variety of drinks, and mine..." Read more

"First time in a Brazilian restaurant and I liked everything I ate! Had the crabcake for appetizer, which was different from the regular crab cake patties. According to our waiter they are the best crabcakes ever! I beg to disagree. I reserve that spot for the crabcakes at the Bluenose Inn in Bar Harbor, Maine.Anyway coming back to Muqueca, the appeti..." Read more

"The food was not something to say so loud, I experienced a lot better muqueca. So, I was disappointed with this place first of all. When I tried to pay me and my friend's bill with half cash half credit card, I was told to put more tips as I tipped on the credit card and the server did not see it. I fond this was rather rude, but I got patient and explain..." Read more

"After they moved to their new location, they had a bumpy time adjusting, and I held off going there for a while. I'm talking, waiting 45 minutes for a table and ordering appetizers so it would be ready by the time we had a table, then waiting 45 minutes after we got a table for our main dishes, when the appetizers never came. And we were starving. To be fair..." Read more

"As a brazilian living abroad is always nice to find a brazilian restaurant when missing home. One of the problems I usually find is to reproduce the quality, richness and variety of a brazilian restaurant abroad, due to the difficulty to fine products. This place may not be as good as a brazilian restaurant set in Brazil, but for a place trying to bring so..." Read more
