In celebration of Oxnard's International Restaurant Week, I finally decided to try out Moqueca.
Whenever my friends and I are downstairs at Sea Fresh (which is quite often), we always say how we should go upstairs to Moqueca since we always smell what they're cooking. It always smells awesome up there. T came up to join me for this dinner adventure. The food was great, service was on point and had we been there when the sun was still up we would've had an awesome view of the harbor. I'm definitely coming back to try other items. That passion fruit mousse was so good.


We tried the premier dinner

artifacts on the wall

Caipirinhas. I can't believe this was my first time having it. So good

Salada De Palmito. Mix of green leaves, cherry tomatoes, cucumber and hearts of palm, tossed with yogurt dressing. That dressing was to.die.for

Caldo Verde. Brazilian traditional soup made with potatoes, cream collard greens, sausage and bacon

Picanha Grelhada. Brazilian steak grilled and served with white rice, black beans and fried plantains. Our order came with fries

Pave de Bombom. Crumbs of chocolate candy bar with layers of milk flan and chantilly cream

Moqueca de Peixe Com Camarao. Fish and shrimp cooked in a clay pot with onions, tomatoes, cilantro, urucum essence and coconut milk
