"This has to be one of the CUTEST, family-owned restaurants I've visited yet. When you walk in, you feel like family. The decors, the atmosphere, the people - ALL LOVELY! Because I was moving out of Boston, the owners offered me a free entree and wished me luck in my future endeavors. This was such a memorable and heartwarming experience - I'll never forget i..."

"Absolutely delicious, the fish and shrimp muqueca was amazing and the fried yuca will be a staple in our household. Crab cake was good, as well. Definitely ask for a side of hot sauce if you can do spicy food! Feels very cozy, not at all corporate. Almost like you're part of the family. Definitely worth the price for the food."

"The specialty Moqueca was a bowl full of fish and stewed veggie goodness. So much flavor and warmth packed into the sizzling clay pot it is served in. On top of that, the fried Yucca are better than any French fries I've had in my life.

One of my favorite spots in the Camberville area for an affordable comfort feast."

The aroma? A tantalizing dance of oceanic whispers. And the flavors? They're what Neptune himself would order on a cheeky night out!The name 'Muq..." Read more

My girlfriend is from Porto Alegre, and I have now started a household-wide conflict by claiming that the moqueca here in Cambridge was just as good as her mom's recipe...

"I still remember when this place was located on the other side of the street, on a corner and could seat maybe 6 people. I've grown up on this food and it is my number 1 suggestion when people ask me for Brazilian food recommendations in the area. It is not what comes to mind when the average non-Brazilian thinks of Brazilian food, but it's a beautiful repre..." Read more

"Tudo muito bom!! Great, authentic Brazilian cuisine. You get the bang for your buck in terms of quality and quantity of food. It is a small place that does not take reservations but I've gotten lucky and find seating pretty quickly. It is on a main road but there is plenty of meter parking nearby."

"An unassuming restaurant at the end of Inman Square stretch of shops and restaurants. Named after their clay pot soup, the restaurant was warm and inviting. Operated by friendly staff, the restaurant was decorated with an assortment of warm feeling colors and wood giving it a homey feel. The seats were full at 830pm and we had to wait 15 minutes to get a tab..." Read more
