Honest verdict on Moqueca — good but not exceptional

Moqueca here was solidly made — smoky and umami-deep without anything to complain about. dried shrimp was present and handled reasonably. But something was missing from the depth that this dish should have.

Brazilian cuisine reflects indigenous, Portuguese, and African culinary heritages in equal measure. The a churrascaria rodizio steakhouse atmosphere was pleasant enough. guaraná Antarctica was available and a good suggestion. For a reliable version of Moqueca this works. For an exceptional one, I'd keep looking. Three stars.
