12/21/2011 12:50pmI still love this restaurant, although liked the atmosphere and attentiveness of the staff better in their old, although crampled, location. One plus is that they now serve wine and beer.

06/05/2011 11:42amLove the website! Love seafood- so Muqueca gets a thumbs up for best seafood! The singing for someone celebrating her birthday (which would have been me;) in Portuguese was just so lovely! Enough of reviews to say this is the best Brazilian seafood restaurant. You folks do a wonderful job and hope it goes on for a long, long time!

08/08/2010 09:10amWe drove down from NH because my 11 year old daughter wanted to try frog legs! They were great, but the rest of the food, the atmosphere and the service were fantastic. We will definitely make the hour drive again. It is well worth it!

04/26/2010 08:38pmMuqueca has been a favorite of mine for three years now. Everything I have tried on the menu is delicious and seems so fresh! The flavors are unique, and even simple foods like beans have a slight garlic element which stands out tremendously. When my boyfriend ate my leftovers after our list meal at Muqueca, and I found myself getting furious, I realized that my reaction finally warranted a review. The drinks are great, the service is excellent, and the new location is far better than the teeny location prior. I rave about Muqueca to all my friends for good reason--they deserve all the hype!

01/18/2010 12:00amWow. Delicious. We decided to pick a new restaurant for dinner last night so we headed to Cambridge St., drove by some places, parked the car and walked to Muqueca. We made a fantastic decision. We got shrimp patties as an appetizer and they were great, very flavorful. For dinner we got a side of fried plantains, I ordered shrimp bobo and my fiance got the mariscada and we each got a fresh made juice. Both entrees came with a good portion of rice, too. So, so good. We barely spoke throughout dinner because our mouths were full of delicious food the whole time! There are a couple of things that make this a four instead of five star (the food is a five and above). It would be nice if we could have gotten a beer with our dinners or at least brought our own. Also, its super tiny and we got seated near the door, which was a bit cold last night. However, I heard they are moving their restaurant soon, so hopefully there'll be more seating because we are definitely going again and I don't want to have to wait for a seat!

01/16/2010 12:00amThe food here is absolutely delicious. I had the fish muqueca (kind of a seafood stew that you can choose which main ingredient(s) you want) and my friend had the fried fish fillets. They were both made with haddock, and both were incredibly tasty--in different ways. Even the rice was flavorful. It's steamed with garlic and possibly other things. I want to go back here again to try other main dishes as well as their appetizers and desserts. Tip: A muqueca dish can serve two people, especially if you want appetizers or dessert. This makes it an even better deal that it already is, for the quality of food you're getting!

03/07/2010 12:00amWhat a find,the food is amazing here. Reasonably priced great food, and your going to leave stuffed. Brazilian food is out of this world.

02/27/2010 12:00amReally good. I'm not going to try to remember the brazillian names of the dishes - I'll just butcher them - but they were meat and seafood stews. They were great, the fruit frappé was too (not too sweet, lots of passionfruit) and finished with possibly the best flan ever. And the service was informal and friendly, just the way it should be. I want to give it 4.5 - there was just a certain something missing from the mains that stop it from maxing out. It is highly recommended, however!

03/17/2010 12:00amDelicious shrimp & fish moqueca -- a must try! That in combination with the feijoada (a black bean + meat stew and the country's national dish!) would be a terrific taste of Brazil for three people. Plus, I think it's nice to balance out the seafood with a heavier meat dish. I prefered the moqueca to the mariscada (coconut milk broth), but others at my table had the opposite opinion -- so, it's really a matter of preference. And, all very moderate prices. I wasn't a huge fan of the fresh juices or the desserts (and we tried 5 of them; the passion fruit mousse was the best of the ones I sampled). The service could be a tad friendlier :) But despite the negative points, I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in the mood for moqueca!

03/12/2010 12:00amWalked over here from Harvard Square. First time eating Brazilian. I had the mussel muqueca and my friend had fish muqueca. We finished off the meal with some flan and fried plantains. Yum! I left feeling satisfied/full, but not in that uncomfortable/gross way. Thanks Yelp for a great recommendation!

03/07/2010 12:00amMy review, as relayed to me by my boyfriend in the car on the way home from dinner (imagine high girlie voice and crazy hand motions): "Oh my gosh, I can't believe this restaurant. It was soooooo good. I mean, I read on Yelp that it would be good, but it was soooooo good. I had the Shrimp Moqueca, and my boooyfriend had the Mariscada. Mine was a little spicier and his was a little more coco-nutty. Both were deeee-licious. I can't wait to come back for another really romantic meal." That's pretty dead on. ;)
