Polly's Lamesa Inc

I have known the restaurant Polly’s La Mesa for a long time. I used to eat there occasionally as a teen. They always have great service. Same people have been working there for a long time. Polly’s La Mesa is one of my all time favorites. I would definitely go back. I got 2 burritos with rice and beans. My mom got 1/2 chalupa.

I haven't been here in years - - like 20 - - and it is still the same as I remembered it. Same dude greeting you at the door, same salsa I remember which is spicier than most, and the Mexican rice brought back all kinds of memories. We ordered the guacamole and it is very good. Not chunky like most places but whipped with sour cream, and it is to die for. For lunch I got my old standby, 2 tacos with rice & beans. I got the hard shell with chicken and it was delicious. He had the burrito with rice & beans. Also good. These Mexican rice is unlike any I've had anywhere, it's stewed with tomatoes so it's not dry rice like you get other places but moist and flavorful. They've been here 46 years and I don't see them slowing down. It was obvious most of the people were regulars, as they were known by name or by the dish they always order. I'm glad I thought to come back here, and I'll see them again soon.

This my first time trying this place, I had a taste for some authentic nachos, so I took a chance on this place. First let me say I wanted to like the food, but it is soooo bland. I ordered supreme nachos with white cheese and grilled chicken enchiladas, the cheese sauce was watered down, with zero flavor and the cheese was almost non-existent, I asked for light jalapeno, and got none, maybe the jalapenos would have helped the bland flavor, there was no cilantro, onions no type of taco type seasoning, I am just amazed. I am soooo disappointed, my meal is ruined and I can honestly say, it is going to the trash, money wasted, lesson learned. Never again. I gave two stars because the young lady that took my order was nice. Update: I called and ask them what was their refund policy,I returned the food and they gave me a full refund.
