My friends and I went because I won a happy hour with the business that included free margaritas for an hour - because it is during their regular happy hour time I know that the margaritas are $5, wings are 50 cents, and chips & salsa are complimentary which is a great deal. While the flavor of the wings were really good, the wings themself were extremely small - that could’ve just been a that day thing though (I would go back to try them again because the flavor was definitely there). Idk if it was just because it was happy hour but the margs were very weak. I completely understand them not wanting people stumbling out the restaurant after HH super drunk, but I didn’t even have a buzz after 5 drinks. I can’t remember our waitress name but she was great and very sweet - she seemed to be manning all the tables alone and was doing a wonderful job. One thing I did not like in particular was - when you win the happy hour they want you to bring 10 friends with you but seating is NOT guaranteed.
It's hard to mess up chips and guac, but this place managed to. The chips were stale. The guac had clearly been squeezed from a bag and had zero flavor. It took forever to put in our drink and dinner order and the place was empty. Then, they gave me the worst burrito I've had in my life. Cold shredded cheese, chicken, beans, and buffalo sauce. Will never be coming back here.
delivery..They don't care. Burritos were dry with half of what should have been in them! Its Mexican for god sakes. If you want to be pricy deliver the goods. It was chicken, rice, and beans. period. Boo!
Bartender forgot my drink order and gave me wrong order after second time i told them what i wanted. Tacos was ok but for the time i waited my tacos should have been hot and not cold. Chips and guac was probably the best thing i had here.
REASON FOR 2 STARS: no to go plates. They offered me a plastic bag to wrap my food in…. Then they found foil to wrap my food up in ….. and made me wrap my own food up. I was raised with manners and still tipped the bartender…. But honestly i shouldnt have. They didnt deserve it. Wont be coming back here
Friendly staff, drinks were fine, but I was served a cold burrito with what tasted like spoiled meat. Men's bathroom had no lock.
Exceptional happy hour - great margs and $.50 wings. Good experience for cheap
I was there to see the football game and the food was delicious. The drinks were amazing. It was my first time, but it will not be my last time. A Big S/O to the staff. Two thumbs up 👍🏼
Came here for a late night snack. The chips and guacamole tasted like they came from the grocery store. Even some of the chips were the Christmas red and green chips. Don’t think the heat was on. The bartender had her coat on. If you’re 21-23, then maybe you’d be fine going here. I like Main Street Manayunk and I will never come back here.
You could cook everything at home and it would still be better than the food here. It’s very basic and it should be much cheaper than it is. Just don’t eat here, not worth your time or money

my SO and I stopped in the other night for dinner while taking a walk only because 2 random couples (one eating and one passing by) said it's worth it/they're regulars. out server was terrible. She didn't know a single beer they had on draft nor had a list of them or offered to get one instead suggesting my SO goes and LOOKS at the beer taps. My margarita tastes like straight syrup. The food was also sub par. I ordered the (marinated) chicken burrito I wasn't expecting it to be spicy but more flavor than canned, boiled chicken. Half the ingredients listed on the menu also weren't on it despite me only asking for no beans. Apparently the cook just "doesn't usually put them on" Our bill was under $40 for 2 drinks, 1 app & 2 burritos on their $5 burrito night get it still feels like we overpaid...
Dietary restrictions: The one cook I got omits ingredients listed on the menu which makes me worried they're just as willing to add ingredients as they wish...I wouldnt trust this place if you have dietary restrictions

The wings were too small even though the flavor was good. The marg and daiquiri we got didn’t taste like they had any alcohol in them. The service was great though. The waiter was super nice though!!

EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTING & WATERED DOWN LIQUOR. 5 ladies between 32 & 50 just wanting to hang out around 7pm on July 3rd and have a good time out and this place was at a FU level when it came to the drinks. Ordered a Mojito = NO MINT, ordered margaritas = very watered down YUCK, ordered Jack with ginger = TRASH, again watered down, ordered Vodka with pomegranate w oj = NO pomegranate, apple martini = NO APPLE OR APPLE FLAVORED anything. We sent them & whatever drink the bartender offered back after 1 very good stir & 1 sip BECAUSE OF BEING WATERED DOWN. Corona on tap = VERY WARM. Kona Longboard = HOT. The 5 of us were like this can't be real? It shows that ownership/management ROYALLY SUCK and don't care to make a run to the local supermarket for fresh fruit/produce. Btw, WE WERE THE ONLY 1S IN THE BAR, every1 was outside eating. That should've been our warning. No way this business should stay in business and WE will do everything to spread the word to everyone with an ear to listen & for those to read & STAY AWAY. With all the food, which was ok, nothing special & later beers we ordered we simply gave up & walked up a few blocks to another bar. The bartender was EXTREMELY APOLOGETIC for running out of supplies BUT his helpers had plenty of time to make a run for those supplies but instead they chose & begged for this and many other negative reviews. Seriously, b4 u sit at the bar or table, ask if they have the ingredients for your drinks and try it in the presence of your waiter / bartender & if your drinking beer tell them if its warm U DONT WANT IT & SEND IT ALL BACK AND WALK OUT. There are so many other places that are so much better within walking distance that would love to have your $$$$ within 1-2 hours
