Not really, it doesn't make much sense in Spanish.

If you want to preserve the word "street"

un camino sin rodeos

Or simply:

¡Sin rodeos!

So, would "La calle derecho al grano" be correct'

I'm sorry, but I really cannot think of a good way to translate this into Spanish, although I do understand what you're trying to say. Salud,

"Straight-up" means "as it is", it doesnt mean straight up literaly like straight up in the sky, more or less like "told as it is"

In what way do you mean "straight-up"? Do you mean it as something that is told as it is, without blunting or diluting the meaning'
