"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 the moqueca..." 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..." Read more

"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

"Went here with two friends on a whim, because one of the said friends had a gift certificate. The first thing that strikes you is the fantastically multi-colored walls. It's like walking into a rainforest in the dead of Boston winter, and it was freezing (literally) when we were getting off the bus in Inman Square, so the colors hit me like a wake up call: W..."

We, 4 of us, each ordered a main course and we packed half of the meal home. It is delicious but each main course taste some what the same. However, the fried fish..." Read more

Their fried yucca is pre-tty phenomenal, too.The only thing that I didn't dig was their steak tips with onions appetizer, cause the steak was overcooked. And I hate it when I have to leave little mashed..." 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 Strawberry Pi..." Read more
