Most authentic and delicious Brazilian restaurant in the area! I don't love fish, but I love the muqueca. Delicious fried plantains, caipirinhas (cachaça, sugar and limes), fried yucca. Great service!

Get the mariscada. And the lasagna de banana if you love cheese and plantains unabashedly.

Seafood reigns supreme at this Brazilian restaurant, but there aren't many vegetarian options. Try the fish soup, shrimp sautee, seafood pie, and moqueca. Definitely stay for the delicious desserts. Read more

Fish Muqueca are authentic. Make sure you get their patties, though. They're are the best in the world!

With the new space we suspect that the innate, even celebratory warmth of its namesake seafood soups - as well as the live bossa nova - will go a long way toward keeping things intimate. Read more

Great seafood. Try the Brazilian crab cake and the Moqueca, really good. No AMEX.

their fish muqueca is wonderful, especially if you are sharing one of the big plates with someone. get an order of the fried mandioca and please! order their chocolate flan dessert or a truffle.

Went out of my comfort zone and ordered the Shrimp Bobo. Was much more flavorful than the Fish & Calamari Moqueca.

Don't leave without trying the Lasagne of Banana! A unique dish you won't find anywhere and the most delicious.

Seafood is very good and also their meat dishes, yucca and rice & beans combinations.
Alex KasemirMay 11, 2015
Any of the muquecas are good. Tried a bunch and they are very tasty. These are basically stews

The Fish Muqueca is awesome.... And the fire yucca and dried beef. A favorite Sunday indulgence from Boston

This place is full of simple dishes with rich flavours. Don't go crazy with the spicy that thing has a nice kick

Order at least one of these: moqueca (slow-cooked stew); caipirinha (Brazil's national drink); chocolate flan (delicious). - Rachel Leah Blumenthal, CBS Boston Read more

If you're vegetarian the food is great but triple check your order! A lot of dishes are optionally vegetarian but numerous times have not been communicated to the kitchen as so.

Excellent seafood stews called Muquecas, you will not be disappointed!

Fish muqueca is flavorful and tasty.

Amazing fish stew...one order could easily feed two people, especially if you add an app. Only down side...no liquor license. Read more

Their "tapioca & coconut" is the best dessert you'll ever have!!!!
Aniket DeshpandeFebruary 18, 2013
The tapioca coconut desert is pure bliss !

Lasagna de banana is worth the place not having many veggie options

Go to Muqueca and have the mariscada. Don't take any prisoners (or sea creatures). Top it off w/ Christina's Ice Cream (take a walk).
Lillian CSeptember 5, 2011
One of my favorite places. Try the seafood casserole. Yumz.
