"I love this place. My fav is the Muqueca and plantains. I'm sad it moved a couple blocks further from me but I'm happy they are expanding and their new place looks beautiful. I have to check it out!"

"They just moved to a new location, right across from where they were before. I think a bit of the charm is lost but they have a lot more tables and there is more space. No more jostling to get in and out! They also now have a beer and wine license which is AWESOME! They also have bar seating and waiting area where they serve food. A friend and I shared a ta..."

"I love this place. I first went there when I worked down the street and was very small. I recently returned to the new bigger and better location, and not only are the new digs great - but the food was even better than I remember. Nice and light and packed with flavor. Wonderful menu, wonderful service. Clean bathroom too - bonus!"

"The last time I had feijoada was during an impromptu samba party at Bar do Mineiro in Santa Teresa in Rio de Janeiro... That was one of the great dining experiences of my life, so you know Muqueca is doing something right that I've given it five stars... I'm not brasilian, but as far I can tell, Muqueca is the genuine artifact... The feijoada is sublime and..." Read more

"After reading many great reviews about Muqueca on yelp, I finally ventured over and had dinner there last night. I have to say that the restaurant lived up to all expectations. We started with the fried yucca. The yucca was not overly oily and fried to perfection. I found their special house sauce just average. We had had the mango samba fruit juice which..." Read more

"The hostess was kind to seat us even though we didn't have a reservation, just cautioned that we needed to quickly order since our table was reserved in 1 hr and 15 minutes... This fortunately was more than enough time to have a wonderful meal... We tried both the muqueca completa and the seafood casserole. The seafood casserole puts the paella to shame,..." Read more

"Muqueca is a hearty Brazilian seafood stew, often served with rice. I was delighted to find a restaurant in the Boston area that served this after having devoured many delicious muquecas in other cities. The fish and shrimp muqueca is a must-try. Rich, tomato-y broth, fresh seafood, all combine to give incredible flavors, especially when eaten with farofa,..." Read more

"I had no idea what to expect from Brazilian food. Every other Brazilian restaurant I've been to was a meat-filled buffet in Framingham. This place is thankfully, not that. Tons of vegetarian and pescatarian options. My fish stew was excellent - more than enough for two people and I need to figure out how they do their fried yucca!I'll ech..." Read more

"I'm so happy that Muqueca moved to the larger space and is now only 2 blocks from my apt! After multiple visits, I prefer to order family style so I can have a bit of everything. The plantain lasagna is a sweet cheesy counterpoint to any muqeuca, but is way too rich for me to eat as my main dish. Definitely get a fresh squeezed juice from the juice bar..." Read more

"I was kind of underwhelmed by my experience. I arrived at their 'new' locations and got the standard fish muqueca (btw, they charge $1 PER shrimp, if you want to add shrimp) during lunch since I work nearby in the biotech valley. I thought the colors and smells of the food were quite vibrant, but when I took a bite, I felt that my meal was seriously lackin..." Read more

"We had to wait FOREVER for a table and the place is pretty small, but it is worth it. The coconut milk seafood stew was AMAZING!!!! I highly recommend the seafood dishes place."

"I've been to Muqueca a couple of times in their old location, and just went in their new location. Unfortunately, the wait for a table is just as a slow, so make a reservation. The fried yucca appetizer is ok, nothing special. I am unimpressed by their namesake seafood platters, their vibrantly colored fish is covered in herbs, so one would expect it to b..." Read more

"Nice cozy place to eat. Seems like a popular spot to hang out with friends which is exactly what I did when I went. Unfortunately the place is somewhat hidden behind construction now but that shouldn't stop you from eating the delicious food cooked in clay pots. It feels like each meal is made especially for you; no matter what you decide. I had..." Read more
