"Muqueca is a fave in Cambridge without a doubt! Their signature stews named muquecas are delicious and the generous portion is perfect for sharing. An ideal meal with friends at muqueca involves one or two orders of the stew (served with rice and a dish sauce), side orders of the beans and plantains, a lasaña de banana for the table to share and tropical jui..."

"Good place to have dinner with a group. The yucca fries were perfectly fried and I highly recommend the fish moqueca. One clay pot is perfect for two people to share. Be weary of the automatic gratuity for 4+ people though."

"This is now probably my favorite Brazilian restaurant in the Boston area (and I've been to a lot of them). The costumer service is very friendly and all attendants are able to speak English and Portuguese fluently. The food comes out fast and very well done. We got the "bolinho de bacalhau" (twice!) and it was delicious! We also got fried fish and "frango a..." Read more

"My husband said this was a really good place so he took me and some friends here. I ordered the feijoada completa....holy crap it was the saltiest dish I have ever eaten in my life. I kept giving it second chances and digging around to see if I could find a better spot that was less salty but I ended up just feeling disgusting and bloated by the end, with m..." Read more

"What an amazing experience. Being from Brazil, I try to go back home even if I'm not, and boy this place brought me back right to the streets of São Paulo. The staff is lovely and the food is just out of this world. We wanted to take some hot salsa home to AZ, but unfortunately, the bottle wouldn't be able to take the air pressure on the plane, and we are gl..." Read more

"Excellent wait staff, my server was knowledgeable of the Brazilian culture. I enjoyed drinks, appetizers and meal. I would definitely return to Muqueca Restaurant. The menu is authentic, fresh food. The ambience is comfortable. I met the owner on my first visit."

"One of my favorite places. I order the capirinhas to drink, the muqueca (seafood stew); and the banana lasagna, which is a cheesy and sweet course to have after the seafood. I also suggest the mariscada seafood dish."

"Food, service and drinks were excellent! Came here for the second time tonight and we really enjoyed the meal. Ambiance is casual and comfortable. We ordered the moqueca completa and the feijoada (spelling!) and both were perfectly seasoned and cooked. Our waiter was super attentive and even told us to order less, as what we originally thought was going to b..." Read more

"The food is amazing, for sure. I'd recommend the shrimp bobó. And make sure you throw in some hot sauce. This is a whole different experience from Brazilian rodizio, but something you should try. It's a bit more expensive than I wanted to pay, which is why I gave it four stars. Make sure that you try a dessert after-all of them are great, but the passion fru..." Read more

"A must try!The restaurant feels very homey and there were several families who were clearly regulars when I went- that's how you know the food is good! We had yucca, coconut shrimp, and crab cakes to start. Everything was delicious although the coconut shrimp was a little too fried for my liking. Their hot sauce is absolutely delicious, the r..."

"We absolutely love this restaurant! While there are other Brazilian restaurants nearby, this place delivers the best fresh seafood. I ordered a crab cake, calamari, and seafood rice plate. The crab cake was delicate and perfectly moist. The calamari was served with a dipping sauce that was absolutely necessary considering the dryness of the calamari. Althoug..." Read more

"We LOVED this place. I had no idea that such a great restaurant existed in Cambridge. Super authentic Brazilian food - I got one of the Muquecas, and it was filling, flavorful, and exotically delightful. The waitstaff were attentive, funny, and inviting, and the Caipirinhas are delightful. It felt like I was heading to my Aunty's house for a delicious ho..." Read more

The seafood broth mixed with coconut milk and fresh aromatic vegetables like onion and cilantro and tomato - with a clay pot arriving at your table steaming and boiling overfilled with seafood easily shareable with tw..."

"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. Serv..." Read more
