"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

"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

"This place was as good the second time as the first, and deserves an upgrade to five stars. I got the vegetarian muqueca (with plantains and tofu), and I didn't care that it was missing meat. That to me is the mark of a good vegetarian dish. The service is good, the price is acceptable, and the stews are awesome."

"I've been in Boston for almost 3 months now, and this is the first place I've been to that compelled me to write a review. Our dinner at Muqueca was the best I've had in Boston. We arrived on a Saturday night around 8 and waited about 15 min for a two person table, but I'd recommend a reservation because it's a very small space. We ordered the coconut shr..." Read more

"I used to live in this area and always walked by wondering what this restaurant was all about.  It always looked busy and we tried to go once but the wait was too long.  I moved to Brighton and forgot all about it until I saw something that reminded me.  We hopped in the car on a random week day and went to dinner.It is quite small with maybe 12 -15..."

"Really, really, really good. :) This place is a nice little restaurant with Brazilian food. The tables were a little too close to each other which made it a little uncomfortable for having private conversations. The moqueca was so great that it made the experience worth while and it was enough for two people."

Four of us descended on the restaurant on Friday night around 7. Having called ahead, we had a reservation in place, but it was not really needed as there were two tables open. Having said t..."

"Aside from the lack of alcohol, Muqueca is a fantastic find. As a seafood junkie, Muqueca is my seafood fix. The seafood is fresh, the service is pleasant, and the range of classic to exotic dish selections is aplenty. There are also a number of non-seafood dishes, but I would suggest non-seafoodies to visit their website to review the menu before a visi..." Read more

"As a rule of thumb, people should try restaurants whose names are difficult to pronounce just by reading the sign on the outside. I'm so glad I finally tried Muqueca. It's the kind of ethnic cuisine that people travel far and wide to try; not just because you're "in the neighborhood." It's also the kind of cuisine that you're not sure whether to order for..."

"I know this place since 2001. At that time, food was just as perfect as today, and at much lower price, but I never had to wait for a table. I started writing good reviews about them online, and a few years later, I regretted writing good reviews. I can't even get a table even in a slow day! If you like light but tasty codfish stew, this is the place to go...." Read more

"This is probably one of my favorite restaurants in the Boston area. If you like seafood of any sort, you should give Muqueca a whirl... and when you go, you or someone who's willing to share with you absolutely need to try one of the "muqueca" dishes and/or the mariscada. Beyond that, the fried plantains are good as are their various fresh fruit smoothies...." Read more
