"Do yourself a favor and order the shrimp bobo. Seriously. You'll never want to eat anything else ever again. This restaurant is such a neighborhood gem. The servers are all incredibly friendly and the food is so delicious. Everything is so flavorful. Also they make a mean caipirinha. Basically, you can't go wrong. By the way, if you're a chocolate lover, g..." Read more

"Such great Brazilian food! They cook and serve their seafood "stews" in clay pots, with just the right blend of spices and tons of cilantro. Perfection! Our waiter knew the ingredients of all the dishes and had gluten and dairy free recommendations that turned out great. (Most of their food is gluten free, just ask! Stay away from their fried food if..." Read more

"**NOTE** This place is NOT open on Monday! This place can only be described as EPIC for any seafood lovers out there. Inside seating is ample and their dishes are just out of this world. A must have starter has to be the fried yucca. It's similar in taste to a potato and has the most awesome creamy, starchy texture on the inside and crispy, crunchy layer..." Read more

"In the area visiting a local business and Yelp reviews led us here on a Saturday evening between 5 and 6 p. We tried calling several times in the afternoon to find out if we needed reservations but it kept ringing busy so when we finished our errand we called at 5 p and they said "come on in, no wait".

"Got take out, and it was phenomenal. The people there were very nice, it was a little pricey, but definitely worth it. 5/5 is a well deserved grade. I love it!!"

"This is not your typical Brazilian fare (meat, meat and maybe a little rice and beans on the side), but it is divine. I'm not a big seafood fan, but I love their muqueca (Brazilian fish stew) more than almost any other restaurant dish. We finally convinced my oldest son, a picky eater, to try the muqueca. He said, "Mom, I don't like tomatoes or fish, but I'l..." Read more

The service is really gracious-it's obvious that the management really takes pride and pleasure in what they do. The menu is more seafood heavy and the muquecas are excellen..." Read more

"Really delicious fish and seafood stew. Large sizes (serves 1.5-2), served in a clay pot with rice. The flavors of the soup are amazing. The only downside is that it's a bit pricey - around $20 for the stews. Next time I'll share one with someone so I can try their other dishes."

"A friend recommended this place so we checked it out yesterday and I didn't get disappointed! I have never tried Brazilian food before so this was a good experience. We were seated right away. The place is cozy and the decor is different. I had tried the Brazilian drink "Caipirinha" before so we ordered that. I didn't know that it came in different flavors..." Read more

"Very authentic northeastern Brazilian food, and delicious. Also vegetarian-friendly, which the food in northeastern Brazil is generally not. They make vegetarian versions of classic dishes that vegetarians can't usually enjoy: moqueca, bobó, feijão with bananas or tofu instead of meat. Great smoothies too, with Brazilian fruits like açaí, cupuaçu, acerola, g..." Read more

"My girlfriend and I have been coming here for a while now, and it's always been a great comfort food go-to. This place was first introduced to me by a Brazilian uber driver who mentioned this along with Fogo de Chau as the best Brazilian food places in Boston. Did not disappoint.We usually get fried yucca (you can't not order it), a seafood casserole..." Read more

"This is a regular spot for my family. The kids menu is generous, and the kids always get the steak or fried fish. Beer and wine is cheap.. My husband sticks to the feijoada which is a traditional pork dish with black beans and sometimes varieties of meats with collard greens and plantains on the side. I always get the shrimp muqueca and a side of fried yucca..." Read more
