"One of the bf's best high school friends was in town, so we arranged to meet her plus two other people at Muqueca for a late lunch. We were a chatty group. The bf and his friend had a lot to catch up on. Plus, when you get a cluster of medical students together, they inevitably nerd out and start talking nonstop about bodily functions and medical procedur..." Read more

"The food is delicious and the service is great! I never get disappointed when I come here. The Chicken Stroganoff is one of my favorites. It has a rich creamy taste but the richness is not too overbearing. I've also tried the Prime Cut Sirloin, Shrimp Moqueca, and Shrimp Bobo. These entrees are also quite delicious. However, I personally would choose t..." Read more

"Another cute little gem. I just had an amazing meal at Muqueca. We decided to do something different for dinner and Brazilian sounded great. We were graciously welcomed in on a Saturday evening. The server we had asked us if it was our first time dining and said we would be very well taken care of.  I immediately knew we were in good hands.Start your..." Read more

"The place was indeed small -- when we first got in we weren't sure where to stand while waiting to be seated. It was a busy night, too. Thankfully, the hostess was fair and let us take the table reserved for a party that was a no-show (more than 15 minutes late without calling). The menu was full of great-sounding stuff.I was going to try the Strawbe..." Read more

"Mmmm... this place is absoutely amazing!I really liked the Plantain Lasagna as well as the fish and shrimp muqueca. Both are flavorfully rich but very different, good complements to each other. The lasagna was a suprising but well paired mixture of banana and (predominantly, it seemed) mozarella cheese - soo good! The fish is soooo amazing in..." Read more

"Really nice little place: I love the blue and orange theme, and the menu is really well chosen although their "veggie dish" signifier applied to dishes with sausage, chicken, and fish in them. (I think it's a very Brazilian take on the term "veggie": it ain't beef.)I had the lasagna de banana--i.e., plantain lasagna. It was super heav..." Read more

"Really cute restaurant, food is delicious and very flavorful!  We had the fried yucca, shrimp bobo, and feijoada.  All were wonderful with exciting new flavors.  Lots of food, at times a bit rich for us.  I can't wait to go back!"

"Dinner at Muqueca was the perfect thing to cheer me up on a rainy, grumpy day.  We had the fried yucca, shrimp muqueca, and feijoada, all hearty flavor and deliciousness.  The portions were larger than I remembered them being (we probably could have shared a single stew), but that is my only complaint (hardly a complaint) about this small, inviting place run..."

"The seafood muquecas (stews) offered at Muqueca are a warm, fuzzy blanket of food love on a cold day.  It's totally worth the walk on a chilly night to pick up comfort food to go, if, like me, you're too cheap (and too close by) to pay Dining In to bring it to you.Truth be told, go to Muqueca anytime you're craving a yummy seafood fix.  The stews are..."

"If you don't mind waiting (the place is very small and only has about 15 tables) the food is excellent as well as the service. Everything was extremely fresh and well prepared, but it is a small kitchen so be prepared to wait a little while for the food to get to you table. Also, the portions are quite large, so plan to have enough to take home with you!..." Read more
