"After they moved to their new location, they had a bumpy time adjusting, and I held off going there for a while. I'm talking, waiting 45 minutes for a table and ordering appetizers so it would be ready by the time we had a table, then waiting 45 minutes after we got a table for our main dishes, when the appetizers never came. And we were starving. To be fair..." Read more

"I come here primarily for the muqueca - seafood stewed with generous portions of tomatoes and onions. I have had all the different combinations of mussel, shrimp, fish and I was never disappointed. This is an absolute must-have comfort food for the long cold winter days of Boston. The stew is served piping hot in a clay(?) pot, and is very yummy eaten with t..." Read more

"The best Brazilian food in Boston.  I've had a few of the entrees and the chicken stroganoff, which was very tasty.  Not a great wine list, but the food is what will bring you back here anyways."

"I went there twice - in 2010 and recently, in 2011. Both times the food was very good and very unusual for me. I had a seafood muqueca and really enjoyed the variety of fish in it: shrimp, fish, and mussels. The waiter from the second visit was Russian, so we got to chat a bit :) The only "bad" thing about this place - both times we had to wait about 20 for..." Read more

"Its a hole in the wall but the food is awesome. The shake is fresh, LIKE VERY FRESH. I don't think they include sugar in it so it may taste a bit plain.I like my drinks with sugar so most likely wont order that again. If you like Chinese Shabu Hot Pot or Korean's Tofu Chigae (that's how I would relate the stews here)- then you will love it HERE! They are..." Read more

"The fried shrimp app is light and fluffy, and the muqueca is very tasty, but pricey. Service has been slow every time I've eaten there: make sure you have enough time to enjoy your lunch."

"Muqueca is seafood overload. It's a nice change from the Brazilian barbeque joints I'm accustomed to (and probably less of a pending heart attack). I started with a blueberry-pomegranate smoothie (b/c smoothies are like crack to my inner Whitney)--ooh that hit the spot. Awesome fruit concoction. While the fried yucca w/ garlic sauce was quit..."

"The mariscada is delicious, and I'm not even big on seafood. It's got lots of big and little shrimp, mussels, and squid, and comes in a yummy coconutty/tomato-y broth. The plain moqueca that it comes with is too salty for my taste. If you get this dish, I'd suggest splitting it with someone because it's a lot of food. Coconut shrimp = yum, calamari wasn'..."

"Right when you walk in you're immediately hit with a fishy smell - except this time around it's a good kind. Seafood enthusiasts would love this place for it has the perfect balance of intense flavor and incredibly well cooked seafood. It's a small restaurant with an incredibly eclectic patronage. At any given time I have seen people of all nationalities s..." 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."

"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
