"Went here on my 5th wedding anniversary. The wait staff volunteered to put my flowers in the refrigerator to keep them fresh! Service was very, very good. We had the fried yucca appetizer (good) and my husband had the fish and shrimp moqueca (also good). I decided to try their chef specialty - lasagne de banana. This was sweet bananas in a rich and savor..." Read more

"One big complain: the dishes are too slow to come. We went there at 6pm on Friday night. There was only one table besides us. But it took them 50 mins to have our dishes available. So I am not sure why it took them such a long time. In addition, it even took waitress over 10 mins to ask for drinks or appetizer. We have 4 adults with 1 baby. When the bill cam..." Read more

"A very very solid 4 stars. I love Brazilian/Portuguese seafood, and this really hit the spot for me on a busy Friday night. Service was very friendly and knowledgeable, and food was even better. I had a huge hearts of palm salad and shrimp muqueca. Both were simple dishes done right, fresh and flavorful, and that's really the magic of this place."

"This was my first time at Muqueca, and first time at a Brazilian restaurant of this kind. They just moved to a bigger place down the street in Inman, and were packed on a Sunday night, which I think speaks for itself. "Brazilian fish stew" just doesn't have much of a ring to it, but man, it was the most awesome thing I've eaten in a long time..." Read more

"Had a lovely dinner there with my parents after waiting in line for 45 long minutes (something that is apparently common at this establishment). I had never had Brazilian food before although I've had Portuguese and Spanish food before. I was familiar with linguiça and yucca but had never had muqueca - on the other hand I've had my fair share of caipirinhas...." Read more

"Sweet heavens, my senses play off each other when I relive this meal. Mouth waters, palms to my cheeks, 'mmmm' guttural sounds, wide excited eyes. Maybe it was because I was hungover. Maybe it was because I planned the dinner 5 days in advance. No excuses- I enjoyed every bite here (and the leftovers today in the office - totally had to cover my mouth fr..." Read more

"Hadn't been to the new location but finally made it twice in one week. The new place has a friendly bar and a waiting area. It's much larger than the old spot but still intimate enough. Each time we have been, every table was taken. We continue to enjoy the various seafood stews, for the most part. They are full of rich, hearty flavor and very satisf..." Read more

"Not to be a killjoy but.... It seems that everyone has been drinking the caiprinhas a bit too fast to realize that the food here is not great. It good and its "A-OK" but that's about it. Sure its whooo-hoo Brazilian and its very busy but, uh, excuse me- I don't get the flavors. Shrimp- lovely to look at, but frozen and near zero in the actual flavor..." Read more

"I was blown away by how good the food was. I had the Moqueca Completa, which is a brilliant fish stew that has a delicious sofrito-based broth. To hell with my Irish heritage, this to me is perfect comfort food. I could eat this in any weather and feel like it hit the spot. The kids had fish and chips. The batter had a great flavor, and while I'm not sure wh..." Read more

"Came here on a whim and had to sit at the bar cuz they were all booked. Make reservations ahead of time!
Ordered the Mariscada and Fish with Shrimp Moqueca. Both were very good, full of flavor. Out of the two I think the Mariscada was better."

"YUM! I have tried to replicate the seafood muquecas at home and failed! They are so flavorful and delicious, one of my favorite places in Cambridge. I wish the place was bigger because it is a bit cramped, but the food is SO worth it! Lovely with a side of plaintains. The fruit drinks are really good too. The best part is there is always enough left over..." Read more

"This restaurant almost falls on my way home from work and for close to 5 years now I have been looking at its signboard skeptically from a distance. Muqueca - didn't ring any bells (turns out, it's Brazilian and pretty well known actually!). Then one day I noticed that the restaurant had relocated a few blocks and now fell directly on my route. Since Anjali..." 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."
