"Delicious food. Moqueca available in various flavors, with cilantro enhancing the seafood. Feijoada was delicious, but I would have loved more beans to go with the delicious pork. Lunch, with three people sharing two dishes and one dessert was $19.00 each."

"Muqueca is one of those restaurants from which you'll crave a dish as fall sets in. Do not think "Brazilian BBQ". Here it's about the stews. The fish stews (although I was skeptical at first) are excellent. Warm, comfort food - I can't wait until a cool fall/winter night to enjoy Muqueca again. Drinks are affordable; food outweighs bright and cold-ish ambian..." 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

"This is a temporary review. One of a bad experience, but not necessarily so bad that I've given up on this place. The food was fantastic, just what the doctor ordered. Fresh seafood, Plantains, all kinds of latin goodness. The waiters seemed friendly enough . . The problem was, death by Labor day, perhaps. I was there Sunday night the place was packed. T..."

"Got the fried yucca and the shrimp moqueca. Both were very good. The yucca is like fries with ranch. Moqueca had a lot of the tomato mixture in it, could use more rice. The food is a tad bland but a little salt and pepper helped. Not spicy but I did see some kind of spice on the table. Pina colada was good. My group of ten all really liked the food. Nice atm..."

"Amazing, authentic and earthy food. A must for any seafood lover who enjoys traditional ethnic fare unlike anything served elsewhere. This is NOT your typical Brazilian buffet/BBQ restaurant. A regional cuisine from coastal southern Brazil. Don't be afraid to ask what everything is. The flavors are just wonderful and the staff is friendly and welcoming. It'..." Read more

"I had been wanting to try out Muqueca for over a year. I'd heard good things. I'd never tried Brazilian food but loved seafood and paella, so it seemed appetizing. But from where I lived in Mission Hill, it was quite a trek to Inman Square. I kept thinking about it, but it never quite worked out. This past May I moved to Inman Square. Suddenly Muqueca was..."

"Muqueca is a great establishment with great service, good food and a nice spot. The waitstaff was very pleasant and my party of 4 never wanted for anything. The food options were varied, interesting and quite tasty. I opted for the fish and shrimp muqueca. They bring your food out in a clay pot where the broth is still cooking the ingredients. It makes for a..." Read more

"Initially, I was a little worried as the waitress would not seat us until our whole party arrived (3 out of 4 were there!). Our friend just arrived as she said she was going to give our table away if another complete party arrived ... So my tip #1 is make sure you all arrive on-time if you have a booking :-) But despite that initial hick-up - it was defini..." Read more

"This place is amazing! The food is out of this world, delicious, unpretentious and inexpensive, vibe is very nice and so are the staff. Do yourself a favor and check it out, and don't forget to ask for their special homemade hot sauce to go with whatever your main order is."
