"Great food and wonderful service!! Very cute little restaurant and good variety of choices on the menu. The dishes were a little pricey but good portion sizes. We had the MARISCADA (mixed seafood curry) and the FEIJOADA COMPLETA (mixed meat stew) which were both tasty and unique. The service was great-- she was very helpful and made good suggestions. Overal..." Read more

"Preface:: 1st time trying authentic Brazilian food. Reserved a week in advance for 6 on a Saturday. My hubby & I actually arrived ~15 min earlier and was seated promptly. (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..."

"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

"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

"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

"Too bad I think I'm allergic to something here (post-dinner hives are no fun), because the food was yummy. Coconut shrimp are some of the best I've had. Lots of fresh juices (try a true pina colada here) and fresh fish. Good prices. Tiny space, few tables. Don't let that stop you."

"Food is great.. The dishes are so interesting, its hard to decide what to order. The menu isn't huge, but in a specialized joint it's not necessary. The prices are great, very few dishes over $10-11. Only minus on the stars comes from the awful service I have experienced there for sit down service. They are tiny and have 15 or so tables in a crowded cor..." Read more
