"Maybe it's because I went there on a Thursday night but I had a great experience at Muqueca! Unlike the weekend Yelpers I was very happy with service: fast, courteous, and genuine. Needless to say, the food was totally amazing! I tried two appetizers. I highly recommend the Brazilian "crab cake", which is much finer than the inaccurate translation suggests...." Read more

"I chose Muqueca for my last meal in the Boston area (for a while, at least) because I was in the mood for plantains. This inspired me to order the "Lasagna de Banana", which, despite its name, wasn't bad at all--though the sheer quantity of cheese started to bog me down after a little while. I got to try a little bit of my mother's muqueca and it was wonderf..." Read more

"Solid. It is such a good feeling when you try a place on a whim and it turns out to be a great experience. Thats what happened last night at Muqueca. I acknowledge the comments of many regarding the potentially long wait for seating and slow service. This is a small place and it seemed like they only had a couple people working. We were able to sit down righ..." Read more

"Awesome Brazilian food. I've been to Muqueca twice now. I love the interior which is unassuming and painted in bright colors with photographs on the wall. The place is definitely small. Which is rough if you want to eat with 6 people, but I think sets a great atmosphere. The first time, my group of four had to wait around 20 min for a table. The seco..." Read more

"Awesome Brazilian food and very reasonable. I have to agree with previous reviews-get here early or go on a weeknight if possible. The food is worth a wait, but the place is tight and you don't want to be pressed against other folks waiting in this place, unless it is bitter cold and you just need to be squeezed into a tight space with a passel of other hu..."

"Charming, small & cozy with great people-watching windows onto Inman Square. I went on my first day in Cambridge and it was my first taste of Brazilian food and I loved it! We had the seafood rice casserole (yummy! and HUGE - leftovers for lunch the next day) and the "Feijoada Completa" which is slow cooked meat and beans, fried plaintains and a..." Read more

"If Muqueca is crowded, get take out. Don't sit down if Muqueca is crowded. I repeat, do not try to eat Muqueca when it is crowded. It doesn't matter how good the food tastes if you have to wait an hour and a half sitting at a table with no water and not a glance from the harried wait staff, future diners with their asses up against the edge of your table..."

"Order the Muqueca, the dish for which the restaurant is named. Buttery rice and a hotpot of fresh, flakey fish, tomatoes, onions, cilantro and if you want, shrimp and/or mussels. Enough for two meals...."

"woooooooooooooooooowwwwwwwwwwwwieeeeee This was a good meal. Actually it felt like two meals. I'm prone to overdoing it, stuffing myself silly and then having to go for a run the next morning - but here is where I really overdid it. And who can blame me? Amazing Brazilian/Angolan fish stews, served with fried yucca and plantains. All in generous portions. A..." Read more

"Inman Square has a good number of Brazilian and Portuguese restaurants, but this one has started to get a great buzz. We went on Saturday night at about 8 with a part of 4, and were surprised there wasn't an open table. I would definitely recommend making a reservation just to be sure because it's quite small. We started with the fried yucca. The yucca..." Read more

"It's hard for me to give a less-than-average review, since I'm generally easy to please when it comes to going out to eat... and so many people had SO many great things to say about Muqueca here on Yelp. A friend of mine is subletting a place in Cambridge from a native Brazilian, and Muqueca's menu was the only Brazilian food menu in his apartment - we thoug..." Read more

"Wow - this place is exceptional. Must try the yucca appetizer, the calamari and the mariscada. The service was pretty friendly - and we were there on a very crowded saturday night. Don't bother if you don't have reservations. We stood waiting for an hour. But it was worth it. For dessert, we had the passion fruit something which was deelish - very sweet an..." Read more
