Its quite embarrassing reading some of these pretentious reviews from my fellow Yelpers. The Main Ingredient is what Arizona needs in terms of Downtown establishments that arent looking to impress anyone and theyre quite comfortable with their own identity.
In short summary; if you're not a TRUE hip hop fan and favor the god awful sounds of Fetty Wap, 2Chainz, etc, this isnt the place for you. Strictly Atmosphere, MF Doom, etc being played over the speakers.
Dont even look at the menu; in what may sound like a safe choice, The Mac & Cheese is to DIE for. Ive gone broke ordering three plates one time (TRUE STORY).
And to wash it all down, choose from any number of solid draft beer choices on tap. Theyre typically the first to have out of market and/or seasonal brews. Back before Pumpkin Porter became the popular behemoth that it is today, I could always count on Main Ingredient to have it on tap 1st.
ENJOY!!!
