I stopped by here for a Caipirinha while walking Cambridge Street. They make a fine strawberry one here! Look forward to coming back to try the food!

Wow so impressed by this place. Owner is so nice and food is amazing. I’m vegetarian and loved the tofu plantain Moqueca. Out of this world! Excited to go back and try more vegetarian options- they have tons!!

Absolutely delicious, the fish and shrimp muqueca was amazing and the fried yuca will be a staple in our household. Crab cake was good, as well. Definitely ask for a side of hot sauce if you can do spicy food! Feels very cozy, not at all corporate. Almost like you're part of the family. Definitely worth the price for the food.

I'd recommend the Shrimp Bobo and the moqueca with fish and shrimp (baia style). Feijoada is an incredible experience as well! Highly recommend the traditional brazilian desserts they offer! Flan and passion fruit mousse is a must! 10/10, reminds me of grandmas house on the weekend.

It was a big disappointment, the Feijoada was very salty and a too intense butter taste, the Muqueca was good but nothing crazy.Sticky/old rice and they took 20min to take the order, more than half hour to serve our plates (ppl that arrived after us ate and left meanwhile). The food wasn’t good we decide to try the desserts (big mistake), the passion fruit mousse was liquid textured and bitter as hell couldn’t eat and the Lava cake dry. Cherry on top of the cake it took almost 30min to get the check.Very poor service, okayish food, awful dessert most regretful experience.

The seafood was fresh and tasty. Nice blend of spices but doesn't overtake the taste of the fresh tomatoes and sweet onions. The grilled octopus had the perfect char and spices. Belinis were so good. Waitress was sweet as pie.

Wonderful food and impeccable service! Would love to visit again when I travel to Boston again!

The fish and shrimp muqueca from Espírito Santo is divine, and the pineapple juice with mint is divine too.The reason for the 4 stars is that the pirão was practically cold, and in the portion of cod cake that I ordered for my 2 year old daughter, 2 of the cakes had large fish bones.I think they should pay attention to these details.

Mariscada was a great way to warm up on a cold Cambridge night. Definitely recommend and will be back.

The specialty Moqueca was a bowl full of fish and stewed veggie goodness. So much flavor and warmth packed into the sizzling clay pot it is served in. On top of that, the fried Yucca are better than any French fries I've had in my life. One of my favorite spots in the Camberville area for an affordable comfort feast.
