"First time having Brazilian cuisine and I'm extremely satisfied with it. My personal favorite were their national dish and the fried red snapper (market price $25 as of Mar 18, 2018). The national dish came in a stone pot and it was still boiling hot for good 10-20minutes on our table (during this cold 25 F day)!!! As for the red snapper, it was fried just t..." Read more

"I remember going to this restaurant years ago , the food was delicioso, very good. It was a 5 star restaurante. Along the years the quality just started going down. The service is good, but the food...OMG...it is a 1 star for my taste. The muquecas does not taste like brazilian muqueca at all. The calamari portion is to small and it does not taste fresh, the..."

"Delicious seafood stews.Got the Mariscada, Cod Capixaba and Moqueca Completa. 2 of the dishes came with a delicious veggie side but overall the dishes were very similar. All really rich and filling. There were 4 of us and those 3 dishes were too much for us. I'd be happy to go back.I got a caipirinha and was disappointed so I'd focus on the f..." Read more

"I visited Muqueca for the first time last night and was thoroughly impressed. While it's a no frills restaurants, it's super clean and the servers are excellent. I never had Brazilian food before and I appreciated our waitress's patient with our questions. They have a variety of drink options including beer, wine, juices and caipirinhas for reasonable price..." Read more

"For starters, we ordered the Mandioca com Carne de Sol (Yucca and dried beef), and a side of plantains. You ever go a restaurant and they ask if you would like hot sauce? Usually my first thought is "yea sure, I'll have some of your mild sauce". Listen, I LOVE heat. So let me tell you exactly how I got played with that hot sauce. I dipped a piece..." Read more

"All my Brazilian friends recommended Muqueca Restaurant since I have been craving for authentic rustic Brazilian Cuisine and this cozy place in Cambridge lived up to its standard. Fish and Shrimp Muqueca was outstanding- sliced onions were perfectly timed to cook in its own stew to maintain the crunchiness while releasing its flavor blended well with other i..." Read more

"Nice little place with colourful decoration.  When I was there, I figured there were quite some Brazilians dining at that place wich is always a good sign. Service was very friendly and my special wish was no problem. I tried the Moqueca and it was excellent."

"Incredible and reasonably-priced Brazilian coastal food in a cozy family-owned restaurant. We felt really welcome, loved the food and juice, got great service and tips from the wait staff, and are definitely going back! Get the crab cake appetizer, classic Muqueca and a juice."

"I've never had anything "Brazilian" except for brazillian bbq. As I enjoy trying new food, we ventured to Cambridge for brazillian food. Service was good. Food was good as well. Unfortunately, I forgot the name of the dishes we got, but they were all recommended!"

"We ordered two appetizers and two mains for four people and we couldn't finish! Definitely share. The fried yucca with dried beef was delicious. The yucca was just so amazing, like tater tots. Also they weren't oily but still super crispy on the outside ! The spicy sauce is hot(!!) but delicious. Cod patties were so soft inside, like a cod paste (in a good w..." 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

"My mom and I went here for dinner and the food was pretty good. We've had better, but the Muqueca we had was when we were actually in Brazil. It was a little bland and as a part of the Brazilian custom, no salt or pepper was present at the table. Overall, it is a nice restaurant with friendly waiters and waitresses and pretty good good."
