Such a treat to go here. I've dined here just a handful of times over the past 5 years and it's consistently wonderful. Servers are lovely! This time I ordered two of the traditional cocktails, Caipirinha and they were SO good. This restaurant has gotten more popular - def make a reservation, at least on the weekends.

One of the standout aspects of my visit was the exceptional service. The staff was incredibly welcoming, attentive, and knowledgeable. They took the time to explain the menu, offer recommendations, and ensure that every detail of my experience was flawless. I truly appreciate their dedication to providing top-notch hospitality, making me feel like a valued guest rather than just another customer.

We had the most delicious meal the other day. We were incredibly impressed with the service, ambience, and of course, the food! The menu offered a wonderful array of items and everything we ate was absolutely delicious. The portions are generous, which makes this place a great value.

Amazing at every level. Food is top notch, high quality and staff is top tier. Heart of Palm appetizer with bread is a staple. we tried the steak skewers tonight and they were amazing as well. Dessert menu just showed up so I’m going to stop typing.

Came in with my mother and ordered palm hearts salad, yucca, fried plantains & skewers. 10/10 for all dishes! Service was excellent and the food was exceptional! I have tried fried yucca in the past, and this blew it out of the water. Will be coming again very soon!

Moqueca is our go-to Brazilian restaurant, and for good reason! We’ve been coming here for years, and the food is always incredible. The staff is super friendly, making every visit feel special. My favorite dish is the Picanha Grelhada, especially with their delicious chimichurri sauce - it adds the perfect touch. I usually swap out the yucca for plantains, which is such a nice substitute, but the yucca is great too. If you’re looking for amazing Brazilian food in a welcoming atmosphere, this place is a must-try!
