"Food was good, but service was non-existent. Plus, they included tips (18.7%) in the check.Just went to this place and ordered fried yucca, shrimp muqueca and muqueca completa. Food was good, and the seafood was fresh.During the meal, no waiters/waitresses stopped by to ask whether everything was ok or whether we needed anything. When we got..." Read more

"First time here and definitely the last. There are many other Brazilian restaurants in the area that will largely surpass this place in both service and food. To begin with a waited at the front for 5 minutes before even being acknowledged by two staff members who were more interested in having a conversation of their own than actually doing their job. I ord..." Read more

"Came here after winning a gift card to this place at a silent auction gala. We ordered the crab cake which lacked salt. The fired shrimp was OK. For main course we ordered the steak and the feijoada. Everything was very salty and large portion. Pretty sure I got full off the salt. I've tried other places in somerville, framingham, and Worcester and all of th..." Read more

"2.5/5 (would have originally been a 3.5/5 - keep reading to see why)I've never had Brazilian food before and this place had good reviews so I thought hey why not? We were seated immediately and the place just smelled so good and the waitress was very friendly so I thought I would be in for a wonderful meal. The fried yucca was okay. I think they..." Read more

"I had the shrimp muqueca and frankly it was nothing more than a mix of water, salt, tomatoes, onion, and shrimp. For $20 I would've expected more. After finishing the meal I was still hungry and had to order another side of rice. Then I was crazy thirsty all night and the next morning I weighed 3 lbs heavier because of the sodium. Disappointed and confused b..." Read more

"Expensive -- all entrees seem to be in the 20$ range -- and not super tasty. Pretty bland and the fish stew wasn't very tender. The quantity of food was okay, but nothing like extra special or anything. I got the chocolate flan (4.50$), and it was quite tasty. It's not as rich as the other comments make it seem, it's what'd I'd expect from any chocolate dess..." Read more

"Live in the area so thought would give this place a try, something different as I've never had Brazilian food before.Went with my bf for lunch. There was only one other table when we arrived. The service was very friendly and cheerful with smiles on their faces but SLOW as molasses. Picture 2 servers and 2 tables, what kind of service would you ex..." Read more

"They wound't let us use a coupon on Valentine's day even even though the voucher didn't say anything about holidays. If they were busy then I maybe would have understood, but there were two tables filled when we were there. The seafood muqueca was okay, but on the verge of being fishy. The only item I enjoyed was the fried plantains, but it's really..." Read more

"Very good food, BUT
We were only 2, stay there for 20 minutes, and the check came with a 15% tip. And they still ask for gratuity!!!!! do you want me to pay your bills too?
I don't like this to happen, and the worst part is that we were only 2.
That's rude and is not the way to treat customers."

"Place is deff over-hyped. Came here after reading the Yelp reviews.So the ambiance and atmosphere is VERY casual - almost like a dinner, which is unexpected for the premium prices they charge. Our waitress kept trying to upsell us on drinks and appetizers and was disappointed when I just stuck with an entree and water and my gf with an entree and a j..." Read more

"I had a longer review of this place all lined up, but then I got bored of it becaus my writing style is pretty poor. So here is the expedited version of it. I went to Muqueca with 7 other people, and pretty much everyone enjoyed their food. $20 a dish enjoyment? Not quite, not really that close actually, more like $12 a dish enjoyment. That..." Read more

"I was so excited to try this place after buying their deal on Travelzoo: $39 for two appetizers, two entrees, and two desserts. However, I was pretty sad when I left the restaurant. Here's why.Not only were we treated poorly for using their "deal", they wanted to hurry us out without even having dessert! The portions were way smaller than the..." Read more

Then we waited....and waited...and waited. Total wait time for food from order time? 1.5 hours. Yeah, this is no lie. We went into eat at 1 PM, we did not leave until almost 4PM. What pissed me..."

"I don't know how this place has four stars. My three friends and I came in around 9:30pm and their kitchen closed at 10:45pm. We ended up ordering the Moqueca Completa (fish, shrimp, and mussels), Fried Yucca, and Shrimp Brazilian Patties. The waiter kept hinting that we hadn't ordered enough food and was not very pleasant. He seemed like he was tired from t..." Read more

"I was kind of underwhelmed by my experience. I arrived at their 'new' locations and got the standard fish muqueca (btw, they charge $1 PER shrimp, if you want to add shrimp) during lunch since I work nearby in the biotech valley. I thought the colors and smells of the food were quite vibrant, but when I took a bite, I felt that my meal was seriously lackin..." Read more

"I'd read the online reviews recommending this place. I'd read that one order of the fish stew (muqueca) can feed two. Since we went for lunch, I was sure that we'd ordered enough food- and we weren't that hungry.The waitress disagreed and REPEATEDLY insisted that we needed to order more food for our group. As a result, we ordered more than we needed..." Read more
