"My husband and I went to Muqueca for the first time intending to use our Groupon, but we were in a hurry at the end of our meal because I had an appointment to get to and we forgot to use the coupon... Whomp, whomp. Oh well, at least the food was good enough that we won't mind going back!We started out with some juice (more like smoothies), which I r..." Read more

"This place was really good. I love seafood and the menu is perfect for a seafood lover. I got the Mariscada and it was delicious. BF got the steak and it was good, but not great. I'd stick to their seafood options 'cause it seems that they know what they're doing with that. The place is small so reservations are recommended...even on a weeknight."

"The food is really tasty and BIG. I go with a girlfriend of mine, and we get the plaintains side, yucca side (with yummy aioli type dipping sauce). Then we usually share one of their seafood dishes, the mariscada. It's in a coconut milk broth and has mussels, calimari, kinda like a yellow version of cioppino. We followed this up with coconut tapica. T..." Read more

"My hubby and I went there yesterday for dinner.
We had 1.5 muqueca completa, fried calamari for appetizer and he had soup. We also got 2 mixed juices from the juice bar. The food is delicious, needless to say, I love this place, but in the end we were left with $75 bill. For a dinner for 2 that is quite expensive..."

"I tried this place in large part because it got good yelp reviews and my expectations were certainly met. I went here with a large group and everyone seemed to be pretty happy with the offerings. I recommend ordering Tapas style assuming the people you're with people open to such things. Regardless, you must try something from the juice bar. A nice place to..." Read more

"I used to live a block from here and often stop by to pick up flan on my way home. I miss those days. Aside from the flan, try the fried yucca and the best Muqueca is the one with the seafood and coconut milk. The portions are big and you always leave happy, with leftovers."

"YUM.My boyfriend and I came on on a cold, snowy Thursday night and our meal managed to both bring us to warmer climates, and give us the warm and fuzzy feeling that comes from eating something hot, delicious, and totally soul soothing on a winter's night.We got the mariscada which is flavorful, vibrant, and comes with great sides. The plantai..." Read more

"My all-time favorite hearty, feel-good, unpretentious neighborhood restaurant. The seafood casserole is fabulous and made a believer out of my sister (who never eats seafood)."

"After a year on my list I finally got to Muqueca. Working with a guy from Brazil prompted me to come here for lunch. I've never had moqueca before, so don't use this review as a basis for comparison. The moqueca and mariscadas were very nice. The hot sauce on the side, ounce for ounce, was probably some of the hottest sauce I've had. The heat hit differently..." Read more

"Delicious and novel (to me). IMHO, most Cambridge churascarias (sp?) border on disgusting (low quality of meat) and overpriced (all you can eat for low quality meat, @ $25 = waste). Muqueca, however, features a substantial volume of very freshly prepared seafood served in a delicious variety of sauces. But for the price and management's inability to timel..." Read more

"Based on all the glowing reviews here I tried Muqueca last night and yep, the word on the street is for real! I had the amazing caipirinha (well 2 actually) and my beau had a couple rounds from the juice bar: excellent. The cocktail was a perfect balance of sour lime and booze... mmmmm. This drink often gets the syrupy-sweet treatment but the bar keep her..." Read more

"New place...still very good...sometimes when restaurants upgrade service and food quality take a hit...one star off for the piece of paper I got from the fish ..may have been the wrapper(I sincerely hope it was) either way I think it was cooked :)!"

"Great place, new space is a bit sterile compared to the eclectic (smaller) space closer to the heart of Inman Square. Not traditional BBQ, seafood prepared in delicious stew like concoctions. Get the shrimp Bobo unbelievably good, creamy savory good. I liked the warmth and coziness of the original space, but the food tumps all!"

"Not your typical Brazillan fare. It isn't an all you can eat buffet, and it isn't predominantly meat - it's another side of Brazillan food. A little bit pricey, but lots of flavors.Yucca with sausage - it's ok. yucca was tender, but nothing special, I could have made it at home.Feijoada Completa - that was good. lots of flavor. lots o..."

"Wow! Really great food--and the price is right. Business is definitely doing well after their move to the new place. Even with the liquor license, their mixed juices are the way to go. The staff is friendly, and the food is just really, really tasty. And, you will have enough left over for lunch the next day."

"This place is a fantastic little authentically Brazilian restaurant with a great variety of everything Brazilian you would want!! I got their fried yucca for an appetizer which came with a good dipping sauce and their shrimp and fish muqueca was a generous portion of steaming, hot seafood-filled soup which always bubbles on your table due to the sterno belo..."

"Muqueca is one of those restaurants from which you'll crave a dish as fall sets in. Do not think "Brazilian BBQ". Here it's about the stews. The fish stews (although I was skeptical at first) are excellent. Warm, comfort food - I can't wait until a cool fall/winter night to enjoy Muqueca again. Drinks are affordable; food outweighs bright and cold-ish ambian..." Read more

"PheNOMenal! I didn't know how I would feel about a fish stew since I'm not used to that kind of dish, but the Mariscada was absolutely outstanding. It had shrimp, crabmeat, mussels and squid in a broth with tomato, onion and coconut milk. The flavors were incredible. I also tried one of the meat dishes, but I far preferred the seafood. The place itself i..." Read more

"Got the fried yucca and the shrimp moqueca. Both were very good. The yucca is like fries with ranch. Moqueca had a lot of the tomato mixture in it, could use more rice. The food is a tad bland but a little salt and pepper helped. Not spicy but I did see some kind of spice on the table. Pina colada was good. My group of ten all really liked the food. Nice atm..."

"Muqueca is a great establishment with great service, good food and a nice spot. The waitstaff was very pleasant and my party of 4 never wanted for anything. The food options were varied, interesting and quite tasty. I opted for the fish and shrimp muqueca. They bring your food out in a clay pot where the broth is still cooking the ingredients. It makes for a..." Read more

"I haven't been to Brazil, but the foods good. They get really busy, so it's ideal to come early.
We got the muqueca and it was delicious. It's not cheap, but not super expensive either. And as an added bonus, also they don't skimp on the seafood.
I definitely would like to come back and check out the rest of the menu."
