"Nice food! We had frog legs, fried yucca and shrimp muqueca with caipirinhas. The place is small and cozy with brightly colored paintings and decorations. Worth the visit."

"Tasty.
Here i had the Shrimp Saute Garlic Olive Oil & Cilantro with white rice and broccoli and carrot sides. It was very good. Good seasoning and everything. Also had a good portion for an app."

"And I thought Brazilian food would be just meat! This one turned out to be mostly a fish menu. I had a delicious stew with shrimp. The stew's name is eponymous (what a great term): muqueca. Also had fried yucca, which tasted like potatoes, as a table appetizer. Service was friendly, helpful. It's a small, colorful, inviting, fairly noisy restaurant that's on..." Read more

"A friend took me to this little gem in Cambridge. It's a little bit out of the way, but worth a visit. Their specialty is called "Muqueca" and its a clay pot with seafood in a broth. You can get it with plantain or tofu. I went for tofu... yeah right, plantains! I'm dominican, gotta have plantains in my meal :) You come here for the food, the decor is plai..." Read more

"Pretty good Brazilian food, though the drinks on offer are limited. I've been to Brazil many times and am a lover of Brazilian food. The food here is better than most -- the muqueca actually tastes like it does in Brazil, and the appetizers are pretty similar to what you would find in a restaurant in Rio. The cod balls are delicious! The only complaint is..." Read more

"I was so excited to discover this place on my birthday. Clay pot stews brimming with the freshest seafood. Think warm, ocean fresh bivalves and calamari and shrimp surrounded by a tomato-lime-cilantro broth. Even a plantain and tofu versions for vegetarians that was so good, I might get it next time. (And that's saying something, as I love seafood). Not m..." Read more

A must try if you love seafood dishes, they offer drinks such as caipirinha( hard liquor and exotic fruit) they have virgin options too. Se..." Read more

"Wicked good- different from the bras steak houses. Much more vegetarian and seafood friendly. Food tastes hand made and fresh- great selection, fair prices. I'd come here any day over one of the steak houses. I wish they had pao de queijo though."

"Authentic Brazilian seafood with comfortable seating and fair prices. They also have a lot of dishes from the interior of Brazil. The servings are generous. If you're looking for Brazilian BBQ, this is not the place for you."

"It took me ages to actually come here because, well I had no idea what a portuguese seafood restaurant was and I had no idea how good it was going to be but really what people should have been telling me is that I could be eating plantains and frogs legs and finishing off with a steaming bowl of mussels, shrimp and chunks of fish.For some reason they'll..."

"When people think of Brazilian food, they think steakhouse. While the steakhouses are great, Muqueca offers a different and refreshing perspective to Brazilian cuisine. There are no slabs of meat, mainly fish stews. My wife and I have tried the Muqueca Completa and Shrimp Bobo, both of which are delicious! You cannot go wrong with either. Make sure you..." Read more

"Unique twist on comfort food for a cold winter night! This was both our first visit and our first exposure to moqueca, and unfortunately we didn't have much time (though service was quick enough to get us to the concert without seeming at all rushed). We thoroughly enjoyed the rice stew and the mixed fish moqueca, and we agreed we have to put aside time to t..." Read more

"I went here with my boyfriend and a friend and thought this was a great find! We ordered some of the traditional muqueca dishes and it was delicious; I love seafood so this was perfect for that. I didn't try anything form the juice/smoothie bar, but my friend did and was very pleased. I really love ethnic food especially since I don't feel that the Boston..." Read more

"Nice medium decor and ambience. Not high end fancy like Fogo do Chao, but not hole in the wall low end either. Wife and I liked their caipirinha drinks, and they have milk for kids. Good $6.95 fried fish sticks and fries plate for kids with rice and beans. Wife and I liked the fish moqueca and moqueca completa dinners in the hot clay pots for dinner. Th..." Read more

"I ate some good things here: a bowl of beans and pig meat all spiced up and hearty, a simple, onion-y, fish-heavy seafood stew with a clear broth, and a similar one with coconut milk broth, fish, and mussels, and also a kind of crazy good crab cake.I also drank too many of those dangerously cheap caipirinhas. But so it goes.I had a bit of an..." Read more

"There are only a few reasons why you might take a pass on Muqueca, but they weigh heavy with us. We went only once, two years ago, and we've never been back. Why on earth is that?It's a little pricey for how filling it is (or isn't) and my husband left hungry. Oh dear. It's just tasty home cooking. I make a fish stew similar to these, and it..." Read more

"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."
