Moqueca Brazilian Cuisine

I was surprised to find a Brazilian restaurant in Oxnard. Moqueca specializes in Brazilian seafood dishes. It's located at the waterfront--3550 S. Harbor Blvd, Suite 201.

Eggplant Tapenade served with toasted baguettes--$3. The tapenade was delicious--chopped roasted eggplant. The baguette was too dry though.

Moquequinha--$12.95. Fish, shrimp or seafood mix (clams, mussels, calamari, shrimp, octopus) cooked in a clay pot with onions, tomatoes, olive oil, cilantro, urucum and coconut milk served with a side of white rice. This was so flavorful and the cilantro was dominant. I just wish there was more rice to soak up all the broth.
