"I used to go here often. Today I went in and there was one table occupied and 6 empty. I sat on a table and the waiter told me to get up because that was a big table and even though there was no one there I couldn't sit. Than I set on a small table he told me to get up again. Never going back. I don't need a waiter to be arguing with me about tables when th..." Read more

"Everything from the caipirinha (similar to a mojito But sweeter) to the fried shrimp and fish appetizers ,to the fish and shrimp muqueca was absolutely delicious. The Muqueca was beautifully served in a clay pot. The flavors from this regional dish are rich and unlike anything found at other area Brazilian restaurants. The service was attentive and friendly..." Read more

"I'm surprised this place doesn't make it atop Eater Boston's list every time, but then I'm kinda glad since there's typically not a wait. Amazing amazing amazing Brazilian food (although I admit to being no expert) with knock-your-socks-off flavors and great, fresh seafood. I highly recommend the fish and shrimp muqueca (signature dish, seafood stew served i..." Read more

"We had much higher expectations than our experience turned out to be. Walked in on Tuesday night around 7pm, with 2-3 tables taken. The interior looked nice. Our server was Linda - not the most welcoming person, very presumptuous and conceited. She seemed to already have a plan for what we needed to get. Linda didn't even listen to the end of our order. I w..." Read more

She is just the right balance of friendliness and efficiency. As we were new to Brazilian food she explained to us in detail what Muqueca is and recommended fo..." Read more

"Had an awesome dinner here! We started with a heart of palm salad and the garlic shrimp. A tasty combo. Then, the main attraction was the fish muqueca- we got a portion of 2 to share between three people. The broth had coconut milk, but it wasn't creamy- it was pretty light and tomato-y. We also each got a rice, and got a side of sweet plantains and of beans..." Read more

"Muqueca Is my favorite restaurant in Inman Square. I love their muqueca - slow cooked seafood stews in clay pots. It was satisfying looking at the sizzling pot and the taste of the seafood and fish sauce was fantastic. The service was good and the price was reasonable. Highly recommended."

"This place is great for big group dinners, but make sure to call and make a reservation. My two favorite dishes are the seafood rice casserole and the plantain and tofu moqueca. The vegetarian moqueca may sound off putting but I would argue that it's more flavorful that the seafood moquecas. I also love the rice that come with the stew! My only gripe is that..." Read more

"Had my first muqueca this week. Seafood soupy, tomato, herby, goodness. With rice! Holy damn, this is some good stuff. Highly recommend for a fancy night out with friends or date night. They also do lunch (which is cheaper)."

"I had high expectations of this place and it left me disappointed. The caipirinhas were a bit on the sweet side, but still delicious nonetheless. The food was honestly a bit lackluster - it wasn't particularly memorable. Salt was needed in multiple parts on my dish, from the fried fish to the potatoes. My friends had similar comments for their dishes. ..." Read more
