Came here on a Saturday night busy but didn't wait long to be seated. Always drove by and wanted to try the whole clay pot cooking and experience. The reason for the one star was the server that sat us was really rude and had a attitude to her tone when I had asked her a table for 5 and 1 baby. She stated back so for 6 and just walks away. Came back saying the table was small ok no problem the restaurant was busy and small anyways very understanding. While sitting trying to accommodate the baby and just correctly place the car seat on the table trying to adjust our family in as well in a tight spot she rudely commented "No you can't do that" put him him side and move down. Very unpleasant tone. Took out orders and the food was great until the bill came... charged for tip already for 6 people the 7 month old baby didn't even have a lick of food but yes I guess because him being there we were charged for 6. We paid the bill but that's just unnecessary me and my family won't be back. read more

Made reservations for 7:30PM on a Tuesday. Place was somewhat busy with 3-4 tables open. As others have mentioned, this place is pretty authentic including the waitstaff. Service was ok, nothing special. Our waters were always being filled. Appetizer/sides Plantains...can't go wrong with this. Fried Yucca...ok. Entrees Seafood Rice Casserole...good/reminded me of eating a seafood paella. Muqueca Completa...get one of the other ones...way too much seafood...a bit overpowering with the different seafoods. read more

This place is a gem! The juices are good and the Muqueca Completa is where it's at. It is a savory stew of boneless fish, shrimp, and mussels with tomato and onion. It's served with soft, fluffy rice and comes with a side of delicious fish-based sauce to go over the rice. The Blue Caju and the mango, papaya juices are delicious. It's a great post-workout drink. I recommend getting the 1 1/2 portion of the Muqeuca Completa if sharing between two people. My first time there, my friend and I ordered double and ended up hating ourselves afterwards but boy, did it hurt so good. The broth is delicious and the seafood is cooked just enough that it's thoroughly cooked yet still very tender to the bite. We tried the chocolate flan and though good, it was very dense and rich. There's plenty of street parking and it's free after 6 p.m. read more

We really didn't know what to expect based on the mixed reviews but fortunately for us - we had a great dining experience. The service was on the slower pace but friendly. Think we should have ordered their specialty dish (clay pots) instead we ventured to other items in the menu. We ordered the following: chicken patties seafood casserole fried red snapper side of fried plantains All were tasty but a but on the drier end. The seafood casserole - similar to the clay pots except the rice was mixed in - which makes it almost like stir-fry rice. The fried red snapper was a bit overly fried with no sauce to compliment. They should have left out the olives that they stuck on as eye balls...kinda made the fish look spooky. I think we would have a better meal if we suck to the popular items. Next time. =) read more

YUM!!! Had the most enjoyable dinner experience here. I've never had Brazilian food before but this exceeded any expectation I had. I ordered a shrimp moqueca. It came in a sizzling stone pot with a side of rice. The moqueca was like a tomato based stew that had various vegetables and shrimp. The rice was standard but mixed together it was delicious. This dish was perfect for warming us up on the chilly evening that we came. We also ordered a Blueberry smoothie drink that was very refreshing. Service was also on point. Waitress was very attentive and kept refilling our waters. Dishes can be a little pricey (~20$ per dish) but very much worth it. Highly recommend! read more

I had the recommended "complete" seafood stew dish with my friend last night. Unfortunately the stew smelled bad when it arrived and we both could barely eat it. The shrimp was fine but when I had the mussels, I had to spit it out. It was spoiled, not fresh. I believe that was causing the poor odor from the stew. I also noticed that our server was not present the entire time we had the meal to check in about how things were. We wanted more drinks but no one came by and water was not filled. Mind you this is a very small establishment so we should be easily spotted and served. When I first came to the restaurant the bartender was very nice and the servers seemed friendly. This all changed when we got seated. Perhaps I should have just had a drink and not that meal...! Quality of the juice cocktail was average, the restaurant atmosphere was average. However, those are minor points. If only they used fresh seafood ingredients I would have given this review a higher mark. read more

Muqueca Restaurant - This stew looked great when it arrived at the table but the mussels were not fresh... Did not smell or taste very pleasant! - Latin American Near Me - Cambridge, Massachusetts

Muqueca means stew or food slow cooked in a claypot. It was a rainy night and I was dropped off here (thankfully) to have dinner with my friend who lives in the Inman Square area. PARKING - street only. SMALL tables but I saw a party of 9. RESERVATIONS - We didn't make reservations but the waitress was able to accommodate us after a 15 minute wait on a Friday evening at 730pm. SERVICE - Really good and not overbearing. DRINKS - Brazilian summer (pineapple and mint). Who knew it can be this good? FOOD - We shared the Fried Yucca With Portuguese Sausage. I've never had Yucca (in big chunks) before so it was too starchy for me. Fish Moqueca $13.95 - I got the signature dish. I was surprised at how mild this dish tasted. I thought it would be brimming with bold flavor, spices, and infused goodness. I was wrong. See my photos. read more

I remember going to this restaurant years ago , the food was delicioso, very good. It was a 5 star restaurante. Along the years the quality just started going down. The service is good, but the food...OMG...it is a 1 star for my taste. The muquecas does not taste like brazilian muqueca at all. The calamari portion is to small and it does not taste fresh, the feijoada taste like the just added some water to the beans ,like we say in Brazil. Sorry MUQUECAS but quality is just going down the hill in my oppinion. read more

Great service, and great food. I enjoyed both the juice bar and our muqueca. Between two of us, the muqueca, 2 juices, and a shared fried yucca was more than enough food. It was like all the good things in paiella, but tasted much fresher and really delicious- less grain/carb centered. We really enjoyed our meal. I liked the blueberry/mango/passion fruit juice a lot too. The fried yucca was a bit bland, but add hot sauce to the creamy sauce that comes with it and it's fun. The gravy with the muqueca is okay but it was really good without it so we mostly let it be. read more

Muqueca Restaurant - muqueca with gravy on the side - Latin American Near Me - Cambridge, Massachusetts

Muqueca has a very authentic feel and is definitely a place to go if you're with a few adventurous friends, even in a large group, and want to try something new. Don't expect extremely delicate, sophisticated flavors (as I have become accustomed to in Cambridge) but do expect a worthwhile meal. What to get: - Yuccas with their special sauce (with or without dried beef etc., it doesn't really matter) - I may have a love affair with yuccas but they are very delicious here - The Muqueca Completa: so SO worth the price, it came absolutely choc-full of delicious, fresh seafood including super fresh mussels, shrimp and wonderfully soft, pillowy white fish Pass on: - Most of the rest of the menu. It's really not a place to go and order a salad or one of the more regular entrees, either go big or go home. read more

It's been a minute since I've been here last, but the Fish Moqueca is an amazing dish, not to be missed!

As the fall leaves turn color and there becomes a slight nip in the air - this place is where one can find hearty soul filling Brazilian food. The seafood broth mixed with coconut milk and fresh aromatic vegetables like onion and cilantro and tomato - with a clay pot arriving at your table steaming and boiling overfilled with seafood easily shareable with two people, if you're looking for a hot meal in a casual and relaxed environment - look no further than Muqueca. We'll be sure to come back to try some of their other delicious dishes. read more

As a Brazilian, I would say that the restaurant serves an authentic Brazilian food. We had two dishes: (1) Shrimp and Fish moqueca (4 stars): the moqueca was really good. However, we were expecting more fish and shrimps. (2) Carne de sol com mandioca (4.5 stars): It is a really good appetizers. The yuca (mandioca) was really good! The ambiance: 3 stars. It is a regular restaurant. The atmosphere is ok. The service: 4 stars. They were very friendly, but food took a while to arrive. read more

Food is good but the amount it's terrible!!!! I bought feijoada there and the amount was for a 6 year old kid!!!! I ate and was still hungry! Very little amount! It was 40 bucks w all fees! Terrible! Please moqueca restaurante correct this please! read more

We ordered two appetizers and two mains for four people and we couldn't finish! Definitely share. The fried yucca with dried beef was delicious. The yucca was just so amazing, like tater tots. Also they weren't oily but still super crispy on the outside ! The spicy sauce is hot(!!) but delicious. Cod patties were so soft inside, like a cod paste (in a good way). Fish with shrimp moqueca had a lot of seafood. Broth was savory but thin. Feijoada completa (black bean stew with fresh and dried meat) broth was very porky and savory. The collard greens were cut so thinly. So delicious! I would suggest this over the moqueca. The fried yucca powder for both dishes added a great crunch on top of everything.The regular flan is super dense, more like a cheesecake consistency. Overall very delicious and we left with full and happy tummies. read more

Muqueca is a real Brazilian restaurant serving high quality and delicious food! Almost all the friendly staff is Brazilian, music is nice and you can share plates! We wanted try it all, especially the banana muqueca filled with cheese and sauce (one of their signatures dish)!

This place is lovely and unique. We've been there a few times so far. They have a bubbling stew in a stone pot that is very tasty, not heavy and tastes fresh and comforting too. It's really a nice dish. I'll be back. read more

The house dish Moqueca is a perfect plate, although I loved the Brazilian "Picanha." Suitable for anyone who wants to meet the first quality of Brazilian food experience, even for Brazilians, cause if it were in Brazil would be one of the best places. Meet or fish, it doesn't matter, both are good. The waiters are very kind and funny, some of them are Brazilians. The lady who owns the place makes the food tastes like a Family Reunion and is always concerned with delivering the best experience to everyone. Definitely, a must-know place. read more

Do yourself a favor and order the shrimp bobo. Seriously. You'll never want to eat anything else ever again. This restaurant is such a neighborhood gem. The servers are all incredibly friendly and the food is so delicious. Everything is so flavorful. Also they make a mean caipirinha. Basically, you can't go wrong. By the way, if you're a chocolate lover, get one of their truffles before you leave. You. Will. Die. Of. Happiness. read more

My girlfriend and I have been coming here for a while now, and it's always been a great comfort food go-to. This place was first introduced to me by a Brazilian uber driver who mentioned this along with Fogo de Chau as the best Brazilian food places in Boston. Did not disappoint. We usually get fried yucca (you can't not order it), a seafood casserole, and a flan to share between the two of us. It's just enough food for two, and not extremely pricey either. The wait can be long on Friday and Saturday evenings though, so maybe a reservation would help. Would recommend for a date night. read more

Yes, it's worth the line. Give your name, go to Christina's and eat a small bit of dessert first. Then half an hour later, dive into one of their signature seafood dishes and revel in your brilliance. Collard greens, bomb. Plantains, scrumptious. Smoothies, spectacular. Do you see all the superlatives? Count the number in all these Yelp reviews. Need any more convincing? It will take one bite, I promise. read more

woooooooooooooooooowwwwwwwwwwwwieeeeee This was a good meal. Actually it felt like two meals. I'm prone to overdoing it, stuffing myself silly and then having to go for a run the next morning - but here is where I really overdid it. And who can blame me? Amazing Brazilian/Angolan fish stews, served with fried yucca and plantains. All in generous portions. Actually Yelp helped me here - after a thread 'ask your friend what their favourite restaurant is' - I asked my Portugese friends and we ended up here. A great place for a group dinner and I was obviously very lucky to be dining with people who knew what they were upto and knew the owner. ----Important Tips---- 1. It's very small so expect some elbow collisions and a wait for your table. 2. There is no license so order one of the Brazilian fruit drinks - they are seriously good. 3. You WILL need to wash all your clothes after leaving. Unless you want to smell of onions and fish. read more

Delicious! Yelpers recommended this restaurant for my birthday dinner, as I wanted a place that accepted reservations, had a liquor license, and amazing cuisine that wasn't standard American fare. Drinks: Some people ordered glasses of wine and beer. The rest of us shared a $19 pitcher (the menu called it a jar) of sangria, complete with pieces of fruit inside. Appetizers: One person ordered the black bean soup and he said it was very good. Someone else ordered the fried plantains and I tried one of them and it was very nice. I ordered the fried yucca with sausage and it was out if this world yummy! Entrees: Most of us ordered their signature dishes called muquecas which were essentially seafood stews. Some muquecas were fish only, others were fish with mussels, shrimp with mussels, fish with shrimp (I got this), etc. Someone got coconut shrimp. Another got lasagna with bananas (and he couldn't praise it enough). Service was attentive, artwork on the walls was for sale and added to the ambience. Thanks for the recommendation, Yelp! read more

One more restaurant to check off of my Must Eat At list! And it was almost as good as the Yelp hype. 4.5 stars. First off, I was worried about the wait on a Saturday night. I called ahead and while they didn't have any reservations available til 8pm, they said they'd put me on the "waiting list" and do their best to seat us. When we arrived at 6:30, they said it'd be 15 minutes, and in the end, we only waited 2. Totally reasonable! Good start, MuQu, I liked you already. Me and my friend started with Mango Nana smoothies, which were sooo tasty. They remind me of the Mango Tango Odwalla drinks, but a little less sweet and with a little pulp. For food, we split the Mariscada . A MUST TRY!................................................................. $15.95 Shrimp, crabmeat, mussels & squid with cilantro, tomato, onion & coconut milk. Served with rice, farofa & plantain moqueca. I agree it's a must try...it came all bubbly hot and you'll definitely have leftovers that you can't wait to eat. And the Feijoada Completa......................................................................... $11.95 Brazilian national dish. Black beans stew with fresh & dried meat, pork, sausage & bacon. Served with collard greens, fried plantain, farofa & orange. This was not as special/different, but okay nonetheless. Too bad, I'm still deducing 1/2 a point. The plaintains (ooooh how can you not love plaintains?) were good and the collard greens garlic-y. They serve you individual plates of rice and you spoon your sauce-y dishes right over it from the clay pots they cook them in. It came to like $20 a person total (yes fyi prices have gone up since those listings from their online menu) so all in all a great meal at a fine cost in a cute little restaurant. It inspired me to want to go back to Tu Y Yo, which is Spanish and not Brazilian, but equally tasty and slightly better ambiance. read more

I never thought I would start a review with such a cliche, but what can I say? Sometimes the glove fits. Here we go: I wanted to love Muqueca, I really did. It just fell a little flat for me. I see all these five star reviews, and I wish I could ride that train with y'all, but I just can't. The space was completely forgettable, other than the fact that we had people seated less than foot from us. Any closer, and we would have been eating off each other's plates. One of the diners next to us was a native Brazilian, so I suppose that must say something about the authenticity of the food. He seemed very happy. If only I could have shared that enthusiasm. I ordered the acai juice, which was probably the saving grace of my meal. It was so unbelievably yummy. I was tempted to order other juices from their fresh fruit juice menu, but my nectar was already very filling. Perhaps next time I will try a different one. I shared the Brazilian crabcake appetizer, which was all right, with an interesting texture. I ordered the Lasagna de Banana, which is exactly what it sounds like. Yup. Banana (well, plantain) lasagna, baked with cheeses. The portion was enormous-- even after sharing, I could not finish the dish alone. It also was all right. I remember it being extraordinarily cheesy, which normally would score EXTRA points from a cheese lover like myself, but not this time. The cheese was almost overwhelming-- yes friends, reread that. I wrote it. Hell hath frozen over when Dessa feels something contains too much cheese. The service was just awful. Really. Houdini had nothing on these waitresses. I'd probably go back to try a different entree and another juice, with some trepidation. read more

Fried Yucca - Deliciousssssss MARISCADA Shrimp, crabmeat, mussels, squid and a touch of coconut milk - Mouth Watering (My favorite) Picanha - Prime Cut Sirloin - Delicious but LOADED with salt!!! Flan - Best flan I've ever had! Service was great!!!!!! read more

Awesome Brazilian food. I've been to Muqueca twice now. I love the interior which is unassuming and painted in bright colors with photographs on the wall. The place is definitely small. Which is rough if you want to eat with 6 people, but I think sets a great atmosphere. The first time, my group of four had to wait around 20 min for a table. The second time my sister and I walked right in. Note that they do take reservations excluding Friday and Saturday nights I believe. Apparently you can even rent the whole place as the night I was there the waitress began to turn people away as they had a birthday party scheduled for 9pm. Servers are incredibly friendly and willing to help you learn to pronounce all of the Portugese words. Food is delicious - I've tried several of the muquecas and I really enjoy the camerones one (shrimp and lots of fresh cilantro thrown in!) The most recent visit, we also had the feijoada which is a traditional dish in many portugese speaking nations. Beans, beef, pork simmered for a long time and served over rice. Sides of wonderfully garlic collard greens and (always my favorite) fried plantains. At my sisters insistence, we split a piece of flan. I've never been a huge fan, but this was great - reminded me a bit of carmel cheesecake. The two meals ($12 each) that my sis and I split provided leftovers in plenty, which I might add are just as good reheated! Note that they have takeout AND delivery!! If you're on a date or just with one or two other people go to the restaurant. If you're in a group of eight either make a reservation or get take out. Either way definitely give it a try if your in the mood for something a little different. read more

My 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. ;) read more

I loved this restaurant! The muqueca was certainly delicious, as well as the other dishes that we had. I'm glad I went with a Brazilian friend who placed all of the orders for us, since I had no clue what to get. This place wasn't the best Brazilian restaurant I've been to, but it definitely got very close, and my friend was able to attest to the authenticity of the taste. And I was glad they didn't over or under fry the plantains, which happened in some other places I've been to (horrifying). I think it's a good idea to go with a few people to get a variety of plates to try. read more

You guys know that they moved down the street to a bigger place, right? This was my first time eating Brazilian food, So I don't know if it's authentic or not, but what I had was really good. We shared Fried Yucca as an appetizer and the Fish with Shrimp Moqueca for our main meal. I enjoyed every bite of it and I will definitely come to try other things off the menu. read more

I was so drunk on this stuff (figuratively) that I really don't remember what we ordered! We got five or six dishes to share for the 8 to 10 of us (I told you I can't remember the details), but I just had to add my four stars to these reviews. First, the cilantro isn't too overpowering. Even those to whom cilantro tastes like soap didn't mind. Was that grammatically correct? Seriously, Muqueca is a wonderful wonderful place. read more

One of these days, I'm going to hide in the restaurant until they close and then eat ALL THEIR FLAN and run away. Chocolate flan? Evil geniuses! Their fried yucca is pre-tty phenomenal, too. The only thing that I didn't dig was their steak tips with onions appetizer, cause the steak was overcooked. And I hate it when I have to leave little mashed up meat chunks on my plate. I tried, but I couldn't chew the meat. Other than that, everything was fantastic. We loved our fish soup (Caldo De Peixe), our collard green soup with potato and linguica (Caldo Verde). The fried cod patties were decent, too. Don't forget to leave room for dessert when you come here. The chocolate flan is excellent with a hot cup of espresso. I could eat it until I burst. Commence dancing around... NOW! read more

An escape from the ordinary....this colorful restaurant really makes you feel like you are in an exotic oasis. Start with the fried yucca and a fruit juice. I followed this with the jumbo shrimp curry which was delicious. Friends tried the Muqueca , the Feijouda and the Mariscada ...everyone enjoyed their meals---six out of six- it was a hit! Would go back in a heart beat! read more

It is an absolute failure on my part that I have lived less than a 10 minute walk from this place for three years and I am just now experiencing it. Stupid Daniel. Stupid, stupid, Daniel. Luckily I have great friends who say things like "what?!? You've never been?!? We're going!" and so I finally popped in and I haven't stopped thinking about it since. First off there's nothing like being greeted by smiling faces and delicious aromas upon entering a restaurant. The homey feel immediately washes over you and puts you at ease. It's more like eating at a relative's house (one you like) than going out and I appreciate that. But the food. Oh man the food. Trish ordered the Mariscada and out came a glorious bubbling cauldron of amazingness. I was instantly jealous until they brought out my plaintain and tofu stew which was equally glorious as it bubbled angrily in front of me. It's a chore to stay away just long enough to not scald yourself with the dish but I managed. Just barely. OH. MY. GOD. This is the part where the clouds part and and chorus of angels sings. I don't think I could properly sum up how amazing the food is. Beyond anything I've ever had there's such a complexity of flavors wrapped up in a simple one-pot dish. Un-effing-believable. With that said stop reading and go. No, really...go. NOW. You're welcome. read more

Hadn't been to the new location but finally made it twice in one week. The new place has a friendly bar and a waiting area. It's much larger than the old spot but still intimate enough. Each time we have been, every table was taken. We continue to enjoy the various seafood stews, for the most part. They are full of rich, hearty flavor and very satisfying. Large portions make it easy to share. Our hearts of palm and tomato salad was sadly drab and uninspired, however, with very little flavor. A morose looking little scoop of white rice arrived five minutes before the muqueca. Everything is been achingly slow. Our drinks sit on the end of the bar for ten minutes as our server walks right past them. Finally we had to point out that they were there. It took her another five minutes to bring them over. Our pitcher of sangria was very welcome but a bit too Hawaiian punch-like for my taste. The fruit smoothies are extremely satisfying, however. The best time to go is at lunch when you virtually have the place to yourselves. The menu is the same and the service is a lot quicker. Dinner can be a true test of your patience. We waited over an hour after ordering one night to get any food whatsoever. The other night it was forty five minutes. The people who work here are really nice and we do like the food. Hopefully, they can iron out the wrinkles and we can leave not feeling as irritated. We keep trying. read more

Solid. It is such a good feeling when you try a place on a whim and it turns out to be a great experience. Thats what happened last night at Muqueca. I acknowledge the comments of many regarding the potentially long wait for seating and slow service. This is a small place and it seemed like they only had a couple people working. We were able to sit down right away on a Tuesday night, but it took a while for our food to come out. We were getting a bit impatient, but the thing is, the food was well worth waiting for. And, I thought the waitress was quite attentive while we waited. So, what did we get? Seafood casserole and shrimp bobo. Both were so good, and so filling. After washing these down with a couple exotic (and affordable) fruit smoothies we were completely stuffed. There are several other things on the menu that I want to try, so I will be heading back here soon. (Vegetarians, they even have a couple good veggie options: banana lasagna, whoa sounds crazy huh?) read more

I have been here a few times now, and I feel finally qualified to give my opinion on this establishment. It is a small place, and I believe that is partly what give Muqueca its charm. You feel like you are eating in some back street in Brazil, like you have found that coveted unknown restaurant that you can brag about to you friends for having eaten "so ethnically and local." I have a new favorite smoothie, the Brazilian Summer. It is made with pineapple juice, mint and ice. I was never much of a fruit or smoothie person, but this drink gave me the cool down I needed to approach my entree. There are not a whole lot of vegetarian items on their menu, but what they do have is well made, and usually cheaper than the other entrees. Score! I had the plantain and tofu moqueca and as always it was delectable. I can't eat a lot of it, because it is very sweet, so I ended up pawning some off to my friends around the table. Overall, very good, and I believe that I have a new favorite restaurant to take my family and friends out to when they come and visit me. read more

As a rule of thumb, people should try restaurants whose names are difficult to pronounce just by reading the sign on the outside. I'm so glad I finally tried Muqueca. It's the kind of ethnic cuisine that people travel far and wide to try; not just because you're "in the neighborhood." It's also the kind of cuisine that you're not sure whether to order for yourself or if you should share one dish. But, as I was assured, you gotta order for yourself and just share taste amongst friends if you must. As a note, you could probably share your dish with one other ... it is quite large ... and in the high teens price-wise one may opt to share. Very sadly I was unable to order more than my one (cast iron pot) of Shrimp & Fish Moqueca. My tummy was full from a large meatball sub from lunch. It was a large sizzling bowl with the flavors of the sea in a lovely form -- not over-cooked and a hint of tang from large cuts of onion and a sizable sprinkle of coriander. Trish ordered Mariscada the "Must Try" which to Trish is a "Must Order Always." I will order this for next time indeed -- loaded with more perfectly simmered sea creatures and flavored with subtle spice (not spicy) and coconut milk. And I realized due to the lengthy wait for the slow cooked concoction I should always opt for an app (most likely, the fried yucca). Because if you enter slightly filled, by the time your wait begins, the aromas will release your stomach into hunger quite quickly. Love. read more
