" I used to love Polly's when I was a child, but after a recent visit, I felt the magic was gone. The place still has charm, but I found the flavors lacking. I ordered the tamales, and they tasted bland and uninspired—definitely not what I remembered. However, the staff was lovely, and the service was quick. I wish they would bring back the authentic flavors that made me fall in love with this place in the first place! " (*Curated Review*)

" As someone who loves trying different Mexican restaurants, I had high hopes for Polly's based on its long history. Unfortunately, the food is quite Americanized and lacks the authentic flavors and spices you might expect. I ordered the combo plate and found it somewhat bland despite being filling. The service, however, was fantastic; our waitress was attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. I'd recommend Polly's for the nostalgia and service but not necessarily for authenticity. " (*Curated Review*)

" Every time I visit Polly's, I feel like I’m stepping back into my childhood. The look of the restaurant hasn't changed in years; it's like an old-school diner but for Mexican cuisine. The service is always excellent; they make sure to check in frequently without being intrusive. I tried the beef burrito, and while flavors were good, I wouldn’t call it authentic. Still, the food hits the spot. Plus, you can’t beat the prices! " (*Curated Review*)

" Polly's La Mesa is a hidden gem for anyone craving Mexican food in Macon! I have been coming to this place for over a decade now, and it remains consistent. The guacamole is always fresh; I could eat a whole bowl of it! The portions are massive, and I often end up taking leftovers home. While some dishes are Americanized, I've learned to appreciate them for what they are. If you're looking for a relaxed dining experience with a hint of nostalgia, Polly's is definitely worth a visit. " (*Curated Review*)

" Overall, I have to say Polly's is a well-rounded place. I've enjoyed every visit. The salsa had the right amount of heat and the service is always with a smile. Sure, it may not be the most authentic, but it still quells my cravings. I appreciate the familiarity and the cozy atmosphere. I'll keep recommending it to friends! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Polly's after hearing rave reviews for years, and it was worth the trip! The shrimp burrito was massive and full of flavor. The only downside was the decor, which could use an update—some parts felt a little dingy. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive. I would recommend Polly's to anyone looking for satisfying portions without spending much. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was skeptical about trying Polly's due to the mixed reviews I found, but I was pleasantly surprised! The combination plate was delicious and very filling. I loved the fact that the salsa had a nice kick to it. The service was prompt, and the atmosphere was casual and laid back—perfect for a family dinner. I think this restaurant deserves a chance despite some of the negative feedback. " (*Curated Review*)
