Main Street Restaurant

The menu is actually more Central American than Mexican. The food is good but BRING THE BIG WALLET. The prices have been hiked to NYC standards is not in line with a small town casual Hispanic café bar. Lots of up charges for small add ons that should be included like sour cream, for instance. I had to ask for guacamole for my Tacos (15.95 Special) and got charged 2.50 for about 2 Tablespoons worth.
Good choice for tourists with money to burn.
A disappointment for us locals who used to enjoy the good taco deals.
I still miss the pupusas too!

The food is excellent here! We went with a party of 11 and the service was perfect. We had a very friendly waitress who was very attentive to our large party. I ordered the shrimp salad and it was perfect. We will definitely add this to our places to go back to. Everyone at the table was pleased with what they ordered.

The place has a divey, sports bar feel to it which seems incongruous with the mostly Mexican menu. The salsa and guacamole are pretty good. I had the Baja fish tacos which were served in flour tortillas which I consider a faux-​pas. it should really be corn tortillas and neither should they be served with rice and beans which isn’t Baja style at all. The fish was overly breaded and fried. Skinny Margarita was awful — we had to send it back. Service was nice enough. I’d go back, maybe.

Excellent little bar/​restaurant with really good food. From the outside, it’s hard to tell this place serves some excellent Tex-​Mex food. I ordered a chicken burrito which was loaded with good stuff; black beans, rice and best of all, chicken! The loaded nachos make for a great appetizer with drinks. There’s plenty of drink options as well, a whole separate menu with options ranging from mojitos to beer. My only gripe was how often staff came around to see if you needed drink refills as I often had trouble flagging someone down. Other than that, I highly recommend Main Street restaurant for a good meal and drinks with friends.

My family is visiting Red Hook on vacation and we love Mexican food, so we tried the Main Street based its good Unilocal reviews. Unfortunately, we left feeling perplexed why there were so many good reviews! My son enjoyed his quesadilla and the burgers seemed ok to my other son and husband but my chicken tacos were totally mediocre and the sides were gross, like poorly cooked rice that seemed like Uncle Ben’s but not as good. It was inedible. Add this to the atmosphere which I did not find very nice or family friendly. We sat directly adjacent to a large bar where the clientele seemed… dodgy. Rude, seemingly drunk girls were pounding on the bathroom door shouting at me to come out immediately after entering. Cute! The waitress was wearing her purse to the table like she couldn’t wait to leave! The floor was filthy. Overall, I would never recommend it for Mexican food but the American food was good. Better if you are looking for a bar atmosphere.

I was in town for my 25^th birthday with a big group of friends and decided to come to Main St. Restaurant to celebrate because they had margaritas! We got frozen margaritas, which are A+++ and served in such cute cactus glasses. And they also pack quite a punch, if you know what I mean!
My chiles relleno were really delicious. I would have preferred refried beans but the black beans were still tasty. Free chips and salsa but the chips seemed store-​bought.
There was live music! And tons of seating. All in all, a great low-​key night.

Everything is great. Especially Shrimp Chile Relleno. Chef and waitress are pleasant. Reasonable prices.

Main Street grill is amazing Mexican food!!! happened on this place accidentally… great food! Great prices Amazing wait staff … And Owners down to earth!!! You will not regret stopping in… The food is amazing… Don’t hesitant to ask for your meal be changed up. There patrons get what they want … Oh and the bar staff never ever disappoint. We frequent this establishment as much as we can afford!!! i know I’m repeating this… The place is so delightful!!! try it you will be back, Jchambers rchambers and Sean… Hope tower you soon

Fish tacos, chimichangas, quesadillas, and delicious burgers… My mouth is literally watering just thinking about all of the items I’ve tried. I’d give it more stars if I could. Love this place.

Came in with a party of 14 with only few hours noticed they had a table ready for us and both food and service were as expected! Great local Spanish food spot.

Stopped in here because it happened to be the only place with a kitchen open late. Boy, were we pleasantly surprised.
You must, I repeat, must, get their wings. This is a fun festive place, with delicious food. Plus, their Rumchatta will knock you out!

This place is great! I had fish tacos and the nachos for an app and was in heaven! Really nice staff, really cozy ambiance especially for the winter, and I shook hands with the chef (because the food was awesome!) and you just know some people love what they’re doing and it shows.
Usually at a restaurant or bar you don’t want to sit near the kitchen, but here you do! It smells incredible, it is open and clean, and the sounds of meat and vegetables cooking is music to your ears. The whole place just has a good vibe – I think it is all emanating from the Chef and his food honestly, but it was only my first time there.
That being said, I will be back on the same night for some more food soon – So glad my wife and I discovered Saugerties and the people there!

Went here for dinner last night. Very crowded as it was 1^st Friday, so a bit noisy. Our waitress was great, brought us over chips and salsa as she told us the kitchen was a little slow. I ordered the veggie enchilada and was pleasantly surprised as it was filled with really tasty veggies, not just steamed. My friend ordered the Baja Fish Taco, one of her favorites and said it was great. Also really nice live music!

Awesome food! We weren’t expecting too much being from NYC but boy the good was good! Nice place — looks like a bar, but good service, no hassles and my kids loved the fish tank.

Updating my previous review. My son asked if we could go to Main Street because we really did like the nachos and he loves the calamari. I was hoping no one would notice me as the one who wrote the past review. In fact, I was pretty positive that I was safe.
We had a very good meal and our server Was On Top Of it! I had nothing to complain about and was thrilled to have their nachos again. When the waitress gave us the bill, she mentioned that our nachos were «on the owner». Damn. I was made. I told her that wasn’t necessary. She insisted.
The owner then came to our table and apologized for the past experience. A nice surprise all around. Everyone deserves a second chance :)

Pub style restaurant with excellent Mexican food and a really nice staff. I had the fish taco’s which where great, the kids ad the chicken tenders and loved them, they made lemonade from scratch for the kids. Awesome.

We eat here often. The owners really care about the restaurant and their customers. The food is very good for this type of pub/​Mexican style restaurant and, occasionally, we are surprised to find that the owner/​chef has prepared something special, like seared tuna, or New Zealand mussels. They often have live music, which is great. We appreciate having a local restaurant like this nearby.

Awesome place! Nothing fancy just a great place with great waitresses and reasonable prices. The food is really good. We had honey bbq wings (great sauce) and chicken enchiladas were awesome! And the avocado quesadilla was good to. The burgers look great. This is a great place that you should definitely try.

+ Free chips and salsa before meal
+ $ 6.95 for a burger, fries and a beer on Wednesdays
Ive only been there one time, but I will definitely be back. Fairly inexpensive, good serivce and food came out pretty quick. I ordered a chicken sandwich which came packed with avocado slices and some variation of mayo. Awesome. And fresh.

I really wanted to like this place. We lived in Saugerties when Main Street first opened, and we went before they had their liquor license and full menu. Four-​ish years later, and kind of unimpressed.
I got the Spanish Haven burger, which said it has guac, salsa, lettuce, tomato, red onion, bacon and Swiss cheese. For all the things on this burger, it didn’t have much flavor. I didn’t find any salsa on mine, nor my husband on his. It was cooked exactly the medium that I ordered, but it didn’t taste like much, which was kind of a bummer! The fries were DELICIOUS though! Loved the fries.
If you’re a mixed drink lover, this is not your place… at least by my experience. My gin&tonic made me think it was actually gin and club soda. A friend ordered a Long Island iced tea and sent it back because it was clear. The second wasn’t much better, and the waitress offered to get her a different drink. She got a margarita– and the margaritas were good!
The error in billing I’m not worried about– it can happen anywhere, and we got it fixed. What I am going to say is the live music was deafening. We left mostly because it was just too loud to carry on a conversation, and we couldn’t get a mixed drink. The service was super slow too.
