Love the food, though the brigadeiro is too expensive for its size.

The feijoada completa from Muqueca has become a Friday tradition for me. At a time when the other Brazilian restaurants from the Boston area have let me down, Muqueca still has consistently excellent food. The fried chicken meal with rice and beans is really good and a friend liked the pork chop meal. The only disappointment was the $13 house salad. The food is so fresh and tasty on Fridays. I do not know about the weekend. As long as it is this good I will continue ordering from them. Portions are generous as well.

The most delicious Brazilian cuisine in Boston. The picanha is to die for. The bolinho de bacalhau is truly authentic.

Love their tripe stew and flan. Salads are also very fresh. Tastes like true homecooking by a great cook. Portions are generous.

really very sticky non flavourful rice, also feijoada wasn't good and not authentic.
Do not get passion fruit mousse , no mousse just a hard gelatin on top
Really terrible food
