"So glad we found this Brazilian restaurant in Cambridge. We came here for dinner during our Boston visit. It's a little out of the way from the touristy areas of Boston and Cambridge but worth the longer walk. We ordered the Coconut Shrimp for an appetizer and the Seafood Rice, Fish Moqueca, and Feijoada Completa for our entrees. They were all very good. ..." Read more

The food is delicious and well prepared, the service extraordinary and the staff friendly and knowledgeable. Highly recommend the signature dish an..." Read more

"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 went in this place with high expectations, the fish looks so good in the pictures, but when I ordered, the flavor is strong, a lot of garlic on the fish and on the rice, the soda was tasted old, they don't give you guaraná can and they charge you so much, too pricey for the quality, the waitress didn't give us time to think to order, she was on side of th..."

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

"This Brazilian was interesting. First off they didn't skimp on the liquor in the caipirinha. It was great. Food was different. The seafood paella was very buttery which i didn't know it had butter. Not bad but not great but the other soupy seafood dish was good"

"I love their muqueca. Can't go wrong with ordering the dish after which the restaurant is named, right?? It's light, flavorful, complex, satisfying, and both good in hot and cold weather. Plus, the seafood is delish. Tender to the bite and cooked right. I love it."
