Muqueca

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.

Wonderful experience. Ordered the beef stroganoff, the feijoada, and Brazilian chicken patties. The feijoada was okay but that’s more likely due to me not having Brazilian food before and not to them not preparing it well. It would be great if the patties were served with a dipping sauce but totally understand that may not be how they’re authentically served. Either way they were delicious! I’d go back and sample more of the menu.

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. Sometimes waiting time on food and service may take a little longer than usual depending on how busy it is. I enjoy the tropical juices and the desserts. Our waitress was friendly and very kind. Over all a great experience.

Love Muqueça. Their current outdoor setup is lovely. The employees MAKE this place. Their kindness and great service is wonderful. Love garlic and butter? Get the shrimp! Love shrimp but not garlic and butter (if you’re crazy) the coconut shrimp are also delicious. Order the Muqueça compléta Bahia style and you won’t regret it. Don’t forget to ask for their house hot sauce! Great addition to any dish. I’m not a dessert person. But save room for the flan.

Do you know when something is so divine and delicious that it makes you angry from lacking the ability to comprehend how it all could possibly in this universe taste so good? That’s how I am leaving this restaurant today. Came here on a date with my lovely wife and this place went beyond our expectations. I got the Cod & Shrimp Muqueca and she got the Shrimp Bobó, along with a side of rice and mocotó. If you love seafood this place is a an absolute must. Although seafood dishes are their specialty, they also have other Brazilian dishes. It reminds me a lot of Southern European cuisine (Spanish and Portuguese food). I can’t recommend enough.
