"This place was great. The food was good and the service was excellent. The prices were quite reasonable. I will certainly be returning.Specifically, the Calamari (which I expect to be hit or miss) was very good. (As was our second plate). Everyone was happy with their food, and the fresh juices (Passion Blue, pineapple mint) were amazing. The sirloin..." Read more

"Came here on a weekday night and this place was still bumping! We started off with the classic fries Hucca. The yucca came with a spicy hot sauce which complimented the yucca well. The yucca was crisp on the outside and very soft and crumbly on the inside - fried to perfection. For my main, I got their specialty - Fish Moqueca and my friend got a Fis..." Read more

"the fried red snapper was a bit on the blander side but perhaps that's bc I didn't put enough of the seasoning they gave on the sides. The yucca and the dried beef was delicious. Imagine non-greasy fries with beef that is tender enough but not fatty. The shrimp bobó sheesh that was absolutely delicious. Putting that atop the rice that comes with it. Wow. Tr..." Read more

"I'm angry at myself for not discovering Muqueca and their lasagna de banana sooner! This restaurant is going on my list of favorite restaurants.I never had moqueca before so I wanted to try it. I ordered the fish moqueca ($18.95 Uber eats). It came with two takeout boxes of rice and a small takeout bowl of fish gravy. The stew had a tomato base with..." Read more

"This place is lovely and unique. We've been there a few times so far. They have a bubbling stew in a stone pot that is very tasty, not heavy and tastes fresh and comforting too. It's really a nice dish. I'll be back."

"Favorite Brazilian restaurant in and around Boston. From the drinks to the dessert and everything in between they master it. The muqueca is a must have entree with the presentation to the flavor it will leave you awaiting your next visit. Hidden gem in my eyes and a go to recommendation for someone looking for something they are yet to try. Out of the 10 vis..." Read more

"Opted to visit the Cambridge area while staying at Boston. A short drive but not so close to walk there from downtown. It was a windy and chilly afternoon and this place was packed to the gills! Most everyone at the restaurant is a Portuguese speaker, but the staff also spoke English/Spanish and we understood each other Waited about 10-15 mins fo..." Read more

Amazing amazing amazing Brazilian food (although I admit to being no expert) with knock-your-socks-off flavors and great, fresh seafood. I highly recommend the fish and shrimp muqueca (signature dish, seafood stew served i..." Read more

"Had an awesome dinner here! We started with a heart of palm salad and the garlic shrimp. A tasty combo. Then, the main attraction was the fish muqueca- we got a portion of 2 to share between three people. The broth had coconut milk, but it wasn't creamy- it was pretty light and tomato-y. We also each got a rice, and got a side of sweet plantains and of beans..." Read more
