"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 satisfying...." Read more

"After thirteen years in Cambridge, we decided to finally check out Muqueca. The new space (note: they have moved a block away from their original location) is colorful enough, though the room lacks any real kind of ambience or coziness (think of it this way -- Casa Portugal has more ambience than Muqueca -- and I don't think Casa Portugal is notable for its..."

"I never thought I would start a review with such a cliche, but what can I say? Sometimes the glove fits. Here we go: I wanted to love Muqueca, I really did. It just fell a little flat for me. I see all these five star reviews, and I wish I could ride that train with y'all, but I just can't. The space was completely forgettable, other than the fact that we h..." Read more

"You know when you find something on sale for a REALLY cheap price but you don't love it as much as you would like to? You're so tempted to get it, but you know you'll never wear/use it. Muqueca was kind of like that for me.This place gets so many five stars! The menu also seems like it's entirely oriented around the authenticity of Brazilian food. I..." Read more

"Not an everyday meal, but the food was delicious and interesting. The waitstaff is super sweet and you know you're in a good place when you're surrounded by a bunch of Portuguese speakers at a Brazilian restaurant. If they're there, it must be authentic. The fried Plantains were amazing as is the "soda" in the green can."

"To be fair this place had good service and had a nice environment. But this spot is not worthy of a 4.5 / 5 star rating. The fried Yucca was pretty good and had a good crispy texture and nice sauce to accompany it, and the smoothie was pretty tasty as well as fresh.However, the Muquecass didn't seem to have the burst of flavor which I really..."

"This little nook in the wall restaurant probably has a maximum capacity of 30 seats and even that may be stretching it. On the freezing cold night that we went to this hole in the wall, we had to be seated next to the door (which was pretty cold) bc we didnt have reservations and our other friend didnt show up yet. They were pretty strict about where we can..." Read more

"The food at Muqueca was good. But not THAT great. Appetizer - crab cake (served in a crab shell) fried Yucca - they're both good. For entree, we ordered the House Special Fish, Shrimp and Mussels Moqueca (good) Seafood Rice casserole (the best out of the three) Cod Capixaba (the taste of this dish was not bold enough. All i tasted was the coconut mil..." Read more

"Muqueca means stew or food slow cooked in a claypot. It was a rainy night and I was dropped off here (thankfully) to have dinner with my friend who lives in the Inman Square area. PARKING - street only. SMALL tables but I saw a party of 9. RESERVATIONS - We didn't make reservations but the waitress was able to accommodate us after a 15 minute wait o..." Read more

"I have to say the service was fine and perfectly friendly, and the food was not bad for the money. But seeing all the wildly positive reviews, I must say I went in with high expectations and left slighly disappointed.. 1) the place gets really noisy. 2) the shrimp in my muqueca bowl tasted much better than the fish did. On the plus side, it was light on..." Read more

"So.... maybe Brazilian is just not for me? I mean, it's not the impossibly tiny dining room, I've dined in way smaller places back in Philly. It is not the staff, the owner (?) was incredibly friendly and came out to talk with my party when it was obvious that we wouldn't be seated at our reservation time. It was a cute place really... but the food was blah..." Read more

"This got high reviews on Yelp, so my coworker and I decided to check this place out. I was mildly disappointed. The food was decent, but I didn't see what all the hype was about. I actually enjoyed Bossa Nova's food (in SF) more. We ordered some coconut rice dish and the fried yucca."

"Very Yummy! I would give it a 3 and half star. My fish soup need little bit more salt but it is very delicious. Plantain Lasagna is very sweet. We also had coconut shrimp as appetizer. It was bit oily but very crispy and tasted good with the sauce. My favorite dish there was the rice. Their rice was very well cooked, soft with wonderful taste. Two thumbs up!..." Read more

"I tried the Lasagna de Banana, and it was good but not what I expected from a Plantain Lasagna. I thought either the noodles would be made out of plantains similar to the way gnocchi is made from potatoes and/or there would be plantains mixed in with a traditional lasagna tomato sauce and cheese. The lasagna consisted of plantains cover with cheese, and t..." Read more

"The food was pretty good, though overly rich with very fresh and tasty seafood mixed in. I would actually have given the place 5 stars if only for the food, since its a cute small place, that is very unique... ...but: The prices are a bit higher than a small cafe style dining should be. This would have been ok, except for the ridiculous sercice: We were se..." Read more

"Great food and wonderful service!! Very cute little restaurant and good variety of choices on the menu. The dishes were a little pricey but good portion sizes. We had the MARISCADA (mixed seafood curry) and the FEIJOADA COMPLETA (mixed meat stew) which were both tasty and unique. The service was great-- she was very helpful and made good suggestions.

"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
