"Muqueca is located on the strip of Cambridge St., where I was told, lots of hip restaurants to eat. Muqueca is also well known by many MIT and Harvard students as the place to order their authentic traditional caipirinha (Brazilian hillbilly drink). I suggest ordering their side of plantains. Their Feijoada ComPleta is a Brazilian National Dish and really g..." Read more

"Delicious and something different among Boston's otherwise bland default food, albeit a little overpriced."

"Tiny little place that none of the locals seem to know about. If there's large parties the servers can be a little overwhelmed. Just be patient. Everything we tried here was good. Had the traditional caipirinha aka Brazilian hillbilly drink. Most of the dishes come with sides such as rice and plantains. Had a beef dish and shrimp and fish dish. Both v..." Read more

"So good! Seated right away on a Saturday night. Got the muquequa completa, yucca fries, cod cakes, and a caipirinha and it was bomb! The flavors were great. The stews are perfect comfort food for brisk New England autumns and cold winters. My only negative is that although tasty the food was pretty salty. I like my food aggressively seasoned, but this was gi..." Read more

"Okay...definitely best spot for Brazilian food in Boston! Upon our arrival, we waited a couple minutes because it was starting to get busy, but once seated, the service was on point. Our waiter was very friendly and asked if we had any questions about the menu. We ordered two caipirinhas and the fried calamari with the passion fruit dipping sauce. The drinks..." Read more

"Loved this Brazilian restaurant. It was delicious ! It's a little pricey but worth every penny! I have nothing bad to say about this place. Street parking is the only parking and I watched a car get towed away at the gas station across the street, so take parking seriously around here. Overall, great experience."

"We really liked the smoothies!! However, the soup was not what I expected. It was very creamy and the chorizo and potatoes were all purée. I think it might be better to go into the restaurant next time as opposed to ordering online."

"Muqueca has a very authentic feel and is definitely a place to go if you're with a few adventurous friends, even in a large group, and want to try something new. Don't expect extremely delicate, sophisticated flavors (as I have become accustomed to in Cambridge) but do expect a worthwhile meal. What to get: - Yuccas with their special sauce (with..."

"Muqueca is famous for their stews served in clay pots. Their cuisine is a mixture of Brazilian native Indian, African, and Portuguese cooking. Don't be fooled by their facade- it's simple, quaint, and very clean. But their food is amazing!! OK appetizer: fried frog legs. My man went wild and randomly ordered frog legs. Those frog legs are really muscular an..." Read more

"Delicious.  I told my friend I never had Brazilian food before and was surprised with some Muqueca.  We had Moqueca de Peixe and a bean sauce that was to die for.  The fish was perfectly stewed in a yellow sauce with all of the garlic and onions you could want.  One entree is enough for two people to go for seconds a few time. They don't scrimp on the food...." Read more

"In town from Queens, NY exploring Boston area Brazilian restaurants. A great experience with regional foods that were new to me. My wife is from Sao Paulo and knew what to expect after visiting the Muqueca website and reading Boston reviews. I was pleasantly surprised. Atmosphere okay, service was fine, but the food was wonderful."

"Love the food here. The house special "muqueca", mariscada or fried snapper are all excellent.  Great food for the price.  Wait can be long so make a reservation.  They won't give you a table unless all parties are present."
