"My wife and I have driven by this place many a time on our way to church, and never really given it much thought. So one day, we decide to check it out. It was really cold outside...and upon walking into the restaurant, it was still cold! Talk about poor heating. Almost everyone in the restaurant was still wearing their jackets from outside! Not cool. Or sho..." Read more

"Really, really delicious.I have been searching for Salgadinhos for years. 23 to be exact. I couldn't remember what they were called, but I've never seen them on a Brasilian restaurant menu. I remembered them as tasty tasty little patties filled with spiced ground meat and fried to perfection. And that is what Muquequa served me. That alone gives them..." Read more

"Friends took me here for my birthday a few weeks back. I left a fan. First off, I'd strongly recommend forgoing lunch if you're stopping by here early - no one in our party cleaned plate. Of note, the smoothies (they don't serve alcohol), mariscada, shrimp moqueca & shrimp bobo were all warmly accepted. While they do offer vegetarian options, the Vegan of..." Read more

"I started going here a few years ago but never get to go as much as I'd like. I have tried the fish stews and the yuca and they are amazing! Such great food and home cooking for the price. Highly recommended!"

"I love Muqueca. Shrimp muqueca and Fish muqueca are very addictive. Friend plantain was okay for me and their shakes are not that great."

"I ated too much at Muqueca... I skipped breakfast this morning, mostly due to the decadently delicious chocolate flan that topped off my meal here last night. I had the FEIJOADA COMPLETA which contains a few of my favor-ite things - including black beans, various types of meats, collard greens, rice and plantains. The beans and meats come as a stew in a hot..." Read more

"Went here for the first time a few weeks ago and was very happy to find somewhere new and tasty. If you're seated near the counter in winter wear layers, both on top and bottom. The heating vent/radiator will scald your legs if you're not too careful, but simultaneously your torso may get chilly from the door opening onto the street. That said, try the Maris..." Read more

"This place gets crowded on weekend nights, so plan for a potential wait, but if you are looking for affordable and well-prepared food around Inman or Central, this is the spot. While we didn't try the restaurant's namesake, the mariscada (in the northeast brazil style, with coconut milk, cilantro and served with farofa and stewed, sweet plantains) was won..." Read more

"if you have not tasted fafa's muqueca you have yet another thing to live for. because words cannot convey the delectable splendor that is fafa's muqueca, i will stop here and invite you to try it yourself. too bad they don't have a liquor license. lord knows they tried but the grumpy neighbors stopped them in their tracks."

"I can not BELIEVE I lived minutes away from this place forever and never even considered going in. After seeing it pop up on the main page the other day it was my first choice for dinner with my out of town visitor -- a foodie fish-head, often unsatisfied with the places I (a vegetarian) typically haunt. Quickly seated, quickly served, but slow to leave with..." Read more

"Excellent for lunch! I'd have thought Brazilian would be a very meaty cuisine, and, being a non-meat eater, a waste of time. But I accompanied a fellow vegetarian and a vegan here for lunch and found a good selection and a flexible menu. They even charged less for veg-a-fied menu items. I was conservative and ordered the vegetarian plate, which was a c..." Read more

"I'm going to have to echo the chorus of DELICIOUS. Small place, casual with what I want to describe as a kind of homey, family feeling, but I think that was mostly thanks to the several groups with young children who were there on a Tuesday night. The moqueca was delicious and perfect winter food, warm, filling and hearty but not too heavy. The fish is a m..." Read more

"Yum! Small Brazilian restaurant with emphasis on seafood. Prices are not too bad, most expensive entree is under $18, but that doesn't count the market prices for some of the seafood. Our group of 7 had to wait ~30 min for a large enough table, but it was worth it! It is probably best for groups of 5 or less. We started with the fried Yucca appetizer whic..." Read more

"Given that I'd spent a month in Brazil's northeast, I thought I would give Muqueca's muquecas a try. Especially to compare with the muquecas I had on the beach in Morro de Sao Paulo. I chose the fish muqueca while a friend had the shrimp. All in all, very good, and what lacked in flavor (don't get me wrong, there was a fair amount of it) was more than mad..." Read more

"the food is filling and delish; definitely authentic. the muqueca is indeed quite tasty. the menu begs to be sampled widely, but factoring in the small dining space, i would say that a group of 3-4 is optimal here."

I highly highly recommend the plantain lasagna, which I am constantly forgetting to tell people that it is nothing like traditional lasagna. It is a plantain and creamy cheesy..." Read more
