""Muqueca" is one of the only restaurants in Boston that specializes in serving muqueca capixaba (not to be confused with the similar but distinctly different muqueca baiana), a traditional Brazilian seafood stew from the state of Espirito Santo. Delicious and authentically cooked & served in traditional handmade clay pots, go to Muqueca for their signatur..." Read more

"This is, in my opinion, the best Brazilian place in the area.  It's also one of the best restaurants in Boston in my view.  I've been to Rio and I've only found a couple places that are better than Muqueca in Somerville.The muqueca dishes are classical favourites.  The seafood casserole is also good.  Be sure to try their fruit drinks - wonderful esp..."

"Heard awesome things about this place so went with a few friends to check it out. This was my first non-bbq exposure to Brazilian food and I LOVE seafood so I was excited. We shared several appetizers and dishes among us to get a good sampling. The Brazilian crab cakes and fried Yuca with some kind of yummy sauce -- both awesome. The calamari was not specia..."

"If you're ever in Inman Square, I'd definitely recommend this Brazilian gem of a restaurant. The place was packed for lunch at 1pm on a Saturday afternoon, which is always a good sign. After enviously eyeing the drinks at everyone else's table, we decided to try something from the fresh juice bar. I highly highly recommend the "Brazilian Summer" made with..." 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."

"145 reviews is clearly not enough, so here's another paragraph of praise.  We went to Muqueca at 2PM on Sunday, and it was packed.  Fortunately we knew to call ahead and we only had to wait 5  minutes when we arrived.  Wherever the recession is, it must have skipped over this restaurant.  It's not a fancy place, or a big place, or a center of elegant dining...."

"We always start up with the order of yuka and the special sauce, that is always good. The specialty is the muquecas ( seafood stews). it comes sizzling and tasty. It comes with a side of rice so you can mix with the the muqueca. it is a very typical Brazilian seafood place. While you are there don't forget to order the Brazilian Guarana soda, cashew juice or..." Read more

"I just ate at this restaurant with my husband. We are still trying to decide if what we actually put in our mouth was food because it was so bland. Both of us had fish stew with shrimp and mussels. You could definitely split the dish because it has a lot of fish and shrimp. It just tastes like a mound of nothing."

"Yelp was right. It's tasty and worth the walk to Inman and the price. We got there around 8:00 and it was pretty empty, but by 8:30 on a Thursday night, there was probably a 15 min wait. Solid 4 stars."

"Delicious.  i recommend the Muqueca- a fish stew from a region in Brazil.  Its large enough to split with two.  For me, the best sides are the kale and plantains (banana frita.)

Some of the dishes are too much meat for me, but Muqueca's signature dish is the brilliant fish stew!

Small place and sometimes there is a long wait."
