"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."

"YES! Muqueca! This is what I'm talking about. Scrumptious food, a cute and eclectic dining area, and friendly servers. Wonderful!I stumbled upon this place after my boyfriend and I were looking for a place to grab dinner after a long move-in day. We were exhausted, starving, and losing hope when we turned the corner and saw this adorable little r..." Read more

"DO NOT COME HERE ON WEEKEND NIGHTS. That being said, I love this place. It's cheap and the food is unique and delightful. Not an ideal place for dieters, but who likes them anyway?? 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

"Great restaurant, went there with my girlfriend on a drizzly Friday night at around 6:45 and got seated right away, but heed the warnings about reservations, everyone else coming through the door had booked, and by 7:15 there was a line outside. The waitstaff is friendly and the decor is comfortable. They don't serve booze there, but they do have delicious..." Read more

"The food was pretty good, though overly rich with very fresh and tasty seafood mixed in. I would actually have given the place 5 stars if only for the food, since its a cute small place, that is very unique... ...but: The prices are a bit higher than a small cafe style dining should be. This would have been ok, except for the ridiculous sercice: We were se..." Read more

(By the time we left 7:15ish, the place had picked up big time) Eats:: Fried Yucca for starters. It had similar consistency of fried potato but maybe a little lighter. The dipping sauce..." Read more

"I've never found the traditional "comfort food" staples of America all that comforting. Yes apple pie and fruit cobblers are warm and fuzzy, but fried chicken, meatloaf, Mac & Cheese? Meh. I feel less comforted and more bloated or lethargic after eating that stuff. Comfort food should be easy to eat, and not heavy. Moquecas fit the bill for me, and is u..." Read more

"The downside to going to a place that has been reviewed 91 times and has an average star rating of 4.5 is that your expectations are set really high. Maybe a little too high. Based on everything I have read and heard, I could not wait to get to Muqueca! I knew that it would be crowded, so my husband made a reservation. It was pointless. We got there..." Read more

"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."

"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
