The food was amazing. We ordered Fish Moqueca, Feijoada, Tripe Stew.DOBRADINHA A PORTUGUESA, Fried Fish Filet& MANJAR DE COCO & TAPIOCA for dessert. Hands down, this is one of the best meals we have had in a long time. Service was excellent and we enjoyed the ambience. Portions size was perfect. Must stop in Cambridge.

No idea why this place is as delicious as it is but I guess the chefs just know too much. To be honest, I wish more of the menu items included yucca fries but maybe that’s not authentically appropriate. Besides that, I would recommend to any first timers to order yucca fries with linguica for an appetizer, one of the muquecas for an entree, flan for dessert, and caipirinha as a cocktail. Of course everything is very good, and you should not limit yourself to only that.

I went here with my family tonight. This place was highly recommended to me by a colleague of mine. I would classify this as a Brazilian Seafood restaurant. The food was delicious and the service was excellent. It’s Cambridge so parking can be a bit tough but we still managed.

I have eaten at Muqueca for years and the food is always delicious which is why it’s always packed. It can get crowded especially on weekends since it’s kind of a small space. Sometimes be prepared to wait and add the name to a a waitlist when needed.

As a chef, I know service. We arrived at the restaurant, the wait for a table, was quick. But the waitress either overwhelmed or just not attentive, didn’t cater to our table, or even brought our beverages. They only served our appetizers but no Drinks. Served the guests, that arrived after us, but brought our drinks when we asked for our checks!! Beyond disappointed!!!

The house dish Moqueca is a very good plate, although loved the Brazilian “Picanha”. Good for anyone who wants to meet the first quality of Brazilian food experience, even for the Brazilians, cause if it was in Brazil would be one of the best places. Meet or fish, 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 to delivery the best experience to every one. Definitive most know place

I love ordering from Muqueca and have been doing that for some time now. Recently I actually went there in person and unsurprisingly it’s better! I almost always get the sirloin steak because it’s very tasty and the amount of food you get for the price is incredible. I will be coming back to actually try the food items they are known for and I can’t wait.
