"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

"I'll just pile on. Great food, and good prices. It is popular and small, so there is sometimes a wait. I recommend going early."

"Muqueca is on the outskirts of Inman Square but certainly worth the short walk, I got the Mariscada which inconspicuously says on the menu "Must Try". It was basically some kind of seafood stew with mussels, shrimp, squid, and crab meat. It came with a good side of rice, some kind of warm plantain soup that you are supposed to put on top of the Mariscada, I..." 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

"Great food, great juices, and the price is just right. Walked in on a Saturday night at seven on a whim, they had two big reservations but maneuvered the tables and sat our party of two along with another no reservation party of two within twenty minutes. I felt bad when both large parties were late and incomplete but the staff handled it quite well. We spli..." Read more

"There are not enough stars for this place. The restaurant might not like reservations for 17 people on a Friday at 630pm, but they will do it. The small place gets packed around 7pm..didn't really see many people having to wait because it seemed to have a good turn around rate with customers coming and going. Appetizers: Calamari not a fan of their brea..." Read more

"We loved the food! We had the fish muqueca, which was excellent (esp if you like cilantro), and the Cod Capixaba (salted cod with hard boiled eggs, plantain & coconut milk), which was DIVINE. We started with Brazilian patties of cod, also excellent. The waitstaff was very nice and friendly (including personal visits to our tables by both owners), prices exce..." Read more

"it's delicious.
we had fried snapper, sweet plantain, brazilian summer, ... and the mango mousse was so rich. the shrimp muqueca was the least favorite.
the waitresses were friendly. the place is tiny and packed, so be prepared to wait and get rushed out. i guess that's part of the experience, and it's well worth it."

"Sorry to buck the trend, but I had one of the WORST restaurant experiences in years at this place. For starters, the service was terrible. The waitress FORGOT our order entirely. We waited for our food for 25 minutes before reminding the waitress that we were in the restaurant. Thinking that I didn't speak Portuguese (which I *DO*), she admitted to anothe..." Read more

"It's probably not fair to write a review of a restaurant without trying its food, but I must give an enthusiastic thumbs-up to the service at Muqueca. I went to buy a gift certificate on a Sunday afternoon and although the place was surprisingly bustling, the two women who greeted me and processed my purchase were so friendly! I have been to many other pla..." Read more

"We ordered the calamari, mariscada, fish muqueca, and chicken vegetable broth for delivery. The calamari had the ratio of breading to calamari that we like a lot and the sauce was very nice. The Mariscada sauce was also amazing with a great assortment of seafood. Fish muqueca was also delicious although I find it interesting to cook fish in so much sauce...." Read more

"This place is perfect for a cold autumn or winter day when you need something hot and hearty to warm you up. I've been here twice, and both times thought that the food was really good and the ambiance bright and tropical (very unlike the Cambridge/Boston area). The stews that seemed to be the most memorable are the tripe/bean/bacon stew and another black b..." Read more
