"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."

"Everything from the caipirinha (similar to a mojito But sweeter) to the fried shrimp and fish appetizers ,to the fish and shrimp muqueca was absolutely delicious. The Muqueca was beautifully served in a clay pot. The flavors from this regional dish are rich and unlike anything found at other area Brazilian restaurants. The service was attentive and friendly..." Read more

"I'm surprised this place doesn't make it atop Eater Boston's list every time, but then I'm kinda glad since there's typically not a wait. 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

"We had much higher expectations than our experience turned out to be. Walked in on Tuesday night around 7pm, with 2-3 tables taken. The interior looked nice. Our server was Linda - not the most welcoming person, very presumptuous and conceited. She seemed to already have a plan for what we needed to get. Linda didn't even listen to the end of our order. I w..." 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

"This is a hidden gem. Consistently delicious over 10 years +. Service is great Drinks are super tasty and fun What makes this place special is it's seafood stews or Muqueca. A must try. Large portion of fresh seafood. Shrimp mussels fish or and calamari. Make their own hot sauce which is hot and great. Also great w kids"

"Muqueca Is my favorite restaurant in Inman Square. I love their muqueca - slow cooked seafood stews in clay pots. It was satisfying looking at the sizzling pot and the taste of the seafood and fish sauce was fantastic. The service was good and the price was reasonable. Highly recommended."

"This place is great for big group dinners, but make sure to call and make a reservation. My two favorite dishes are the seafood rice casserole and the plantain and tofu moqueca. The vegetarian moqueca may sound off putting but I would argue that it's more flavorful that the seafood moquecas. I also love the rice that come with the stew! My only gripe is that..." Read more
