"Everything they say about the place is true.  Wonderful food, friendly atmosphere, authentic dishes.For starters we had the cod cakes and the crab cake.  Both were delicious, but I especially loved the way it was spiced and stuffed into a wooden shell (Filipinos do this with a fresh crab shell).  Very tasty.I know everyone here is praising th..."

"My Brazilian friend introduced me to this restaurant and I am a big fan of this place. Their prices are reasonable and the seafood is always fresh. Nice to try something different once in a while, and all of their muqueca is great. Very friendly staff as well."

"This is one of my favorite restaurants in the Boston area that I can't find anything similar to anywhere else (in the area or in any other major city). The muquecas are absolute comfort food that is especially good on a cold day. It's a small restaurant so the wait can sometimes be a while. Since there's no waiting area, it means waiting outside."

"Shared the cod patties for appetizer, and the Fejoada Completa and the Muqueca Completa (Bahian style). Both were delicious. The restaurant is very cute and casual inside. Comfortable with children; added bonus is their bathroom has a changing table. Service was very friendly. Street parking only, but we had no problem on an early weekend night."

"A second fryer dedicated for gluten free!! I was in fried plantain heaven!! The very knowledgeable staff were also quick to inform me that the muqueca, with it's accompanying rice and muqueca "gravy" (thickened with cassava flour), were all gluten free! It was a nice feast! Ready to go back and try more options on the menu!"

"If you're looking for fresh, flavorful, Latin American inspired seafood, this is the place to go. We had reservations for 8pm on a Thursday and were promptly seated even though we arrived late and the place was fairly crowded. Cute colorful decor, an atmosphere and waitstaff that are warm and inviting. Now let's cut to the chase. We ordered the Fish Muque..." Read more

"You guys know that they moved down the street to a bigger place, right? This was my first time eating Brazilian food, So I don't know if it's authentic or not, but what I had was really good. We shared Fried Yucca as an appetizer and the Fish with Shrimp Moqueca for our main meal. I enjoyed every bite of it and I will definitely come to try other things off..." Read more

"The dining space was clean. Waitstaff was attentive. Food was good - generous portions and timely arrival of dishes. Plus, the caprinha's was tasty. If you've got a few extra bucks and want a good meal in a great environment, give these guys a shot."

We arrived there around 6:30pm on a Tuesday night and the restaurant was practically empty.

"I love the Muquecas! I usually order the Muqueca Completa, which has almost everything. Although it might seem pricy at first, it is so sharable because I cannot possibly eat one Muqueca by myself, so I always share with my boyfriend. In the end, still a great value. The Shrimp Saute Garlic Olive Oil & Cilantro is a TASTY appetizer, GET IT. :) Brazilian Cr..." Read more
