"I went in this place with high expectations, the fish looks so good in the pictures, but when I ordered, the flavor is strong, a lot of garlic on the fish and on the rice, the soda was tasted old, they don't give you guaraná can and they charge you so much, too pricey for the quality, the waitress didn't give us time to think to order, she was on side of th..."

"We had much higher expectations than our experience turned out to be. Walked in on Tuesday night around 7pm, with 2-3 tables taken. The interior looked nice. Our server was Linda - not the most welcoming person, very presumptuous and conceited. She seemed to already have a plan for what we needed to get. Linda didn't even listen to the end of our order. I w..." 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

"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

"+ Fun, clean, spacious environment. + Friendly servers. + Interesting, authentic-seeming dishes. - Often long wait times for dinner after ordering (longer than 1hr on multiple occasions). - Quite expensive for what is provided. - Most dishes not particularly flavorful or tasty."

"Muequeca gets two stars for being a unique restaurant that has a fun vibe and atmosphere. The food was okay - the yucca flour you get to put on the top of your dish, though, gets a 10/10 five stars plus fireworks. Amazing. The service was the worst. I went here when there were maybe two other tables, and we had three different waiters, had to constantl..." Read more

"I am not familiar with Brazilian food too much so the food here was quite authentic to me. However it was really heavy and not tasty. For the money we paid (over 80 $ for 1 appetizer, 2 dinners, 2 drinks) we could not eat much. Simply put this place is quite average, there is nothing that wows you. Hence the food is way too pricey for what's offered. The red..." 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

"Not very happy with either the food or service here. We got the crab muqueca and the fish. The grumpy waitress brought the complete muqueca instead, which we had to send back. The crab was stringy, bland, and fishy, an unappetizing mush. I could only eat a few spoonfuls of it, trying to mask the taste with bread. The fish was edible, but still stale tasting..." 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

"Food is average. Service is poor, there is minimal interaction from service. I felt like I wasn't welcome by the server here."

"Average food. Nothing memorable. Actually over priced for what you get. I paid $30 for a main dish. I'm expecting something that i could say, that was pretty good. Lousy service if you're not Spanish/Portuguese speaking. Won't refill my water but the Spanish (?) speaking people on the table beside us were waited on head and foot."

"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."
