"I'll spare the rhetoric: IT DOESNT GET BETTER THAN MUQUECA.

Go to Muqueca, now. It is very delicious.

Every item on the menu is fresh and tasty, but you MUST get the muqueca. Shrimp is bomb, as are the mussels, and everything else.

Must get a smoothie! You won't think of smoothies the same way again."

"Oooh, Mu. Que. Ca.  Your pina colada smoothie last night was made for me in a record 12 seconds instead of your normal waiting time of 3 minutes.  Ooh.  Ooh.  Ooof.  Mu. Que. Ca???  Something was amiss.  It tasted sour and even Kenny (the poorest of teachers) couldn't even drink it.  Aye aye aye!  Dios Mio, Mu Quec, what happened?  Mi no comprendo, but I wil..."

"Good food, high quality ingredients. Besides the muqueca, the feijoada is a also a good choice The place could be a little bigger, sometimes you have to wait a while to get a table and you when you leave you notice that the smell of the food impregnates all your clothes."

"Maybe it's because I grew up in Miami, and I am used to small ethnic restaurants that are charming and make good food. I really really liked this place. But I'm not in love with it. The Muqueca is delicious. Cilantro, onion and tomato have a great way of making a stew very bright and fresh tasting. Personally, I could have gone with a broth with more in..." Read more

"Muqueca is delish and cute as a button. It's tiny but our group of five was there on a Wednesday and had no trouble getting seated. The moquecas and plantains are amazing but the best thing by far is the seafood casserole. It has this unbelievable coconutty saffrony flavor and I was so sad I hadn't ordered it.There's no alcohol, but the fruit smoothi..." Read more

"I came here a few days ago with a wonderful group of yelpers, and was very pleasantly suprised. The exterior and interior of the place aren't terribly inspiring, and it's an extremely tiny place, but that's all I really have to say about Muqueca negatively. They don't serve alcohol, but they make up for it with their large smoothie selection. Now, the main..." Read more

"This place has a tremendous Brazilian seafood menu. Rich, savory, and carefully prepared; the food is 5 stars. So why did I take off stars? We went very early on a weekend evening, without a reservation (Do Not Try To Dine at Muqueca Without A Reservation) this was not a good idea. We waited for over an hour (mind you we 'd been told ~30 minutes) in the..." Read more

"So three stars is A-OK according to the rating system. So I don't feel guilty. I thought it was great that they accommodated all 10 of us Yelpers, but sadly, there really wasn't much selection for the vegans/vegetarians. I'm not always in the mood for tofu, geez... I got 4 vegetarian platter which consisted of 4 of the 6 sides and was a little depres..." Read more

"Best Brazilian place in town - or several towns and states even. The muqueca is the must try of the place alongside a side order of plantains. I favor the mariscada since I'm a big seafood fan. The maracuja mouse at the end is a nice finish as a dessert order. The smoothies are also quite fantastic to go with the meal. They put real fruit and juice in..." Read more
