The food is okay, the owners are complete jerks. It's really good, Americanized Mexican food. I worked there almost 20 years ago, and I will never return because I know how they treat their employees. To be clear, I don't really care about my own experience, but I won't go there knowing how they behave behind the scenes. read more

I recently ate at Polo's and was very underwhelmed. A family member of mine had seen the restaurant featured in a magazine a few years ago with good reviews. Personally, I can't begin to imagine why. I am giving the restaurant one star because of the food quality. As many other reviews have mentioned the salsa leaves a lot to be desired. Personally, I do not like salsa, so I actually didn't mind it too much. While most are relating it to ketchup, my husband and I found it to be more like that of a marinara sauce. I made the mistake of purchasing the Queso Fundito with chicken. While I realize that queso literally means cheese, I expected more than what we were served. The plate was covered with melted Monterey Jack cheese and what I am pretty sure was packaged chicken that was thrown into a microwave for a couple of minutes with the "queso". It was $9 for this appetizer that I could make at home for less than half the price. For my entreé, I ordered the enchilada and taco. It was decent, but I have much better for way less money. As far as ambiance goes, I would give Polo's four stars. There was a nice vibe and it was clean. The only other redeeming quality was the staff, who were very friendly and attentive. read more

The Ada locals think this place is amazing but non-locals hate it. In my opinion the food is mediocre at best. The major gripe I have is that the salsa is not salsa, it's more like some opens a can of tomato sauce into a bowl and serves with chips. Yuck. I haven't eaten here in years and have no plans to ever return. read more

The salsa smells like my cats poop and taste like mustard with a mix Spaghetti sauce. Not to happy with this place when I walked in it smelt like a mixture of urinal and cigarettes. My nana told us to get the crap out. The restaurant smelt like jerry springer set show read more

-Okay, this is a love it or hate it kinda place.- this is not a authentic mexican food restaurant. In my opinion is the reason for the love/hate. Pros: *The atmosphere in the front is great. *You can watch the tortillas being made, that is always neat. *the tortillas taste great and are fresh. *chips are good and warm. *guacamole, yum! *many great dishes to choose from. *love to finish off with a warm tortilla with honey and butter rolled up. You make it yourself. Just ask for the tortillas, honey & butter. It is a common thing to have here. YUM! Cons: *The split off rooms aren't as great. They just have their quirks. *Bathrooms are dirty & old. We really don't like that! *the mild salsa is like ketchup. *yellow queso- is cheese out of a can from your average grocery store. Without any flavor. Use to be pretty good, not now. *pass on the deserts- premade and taste like a freezer. All of this being said, we have been there tons and keep going back. You just learn what to have & not. read more

we ate at polo's tonight for take out. the food was bad. and not just one thing, every thing. we use to eat there all the time and never had a problem with the food. it was tasteless. when i want mexican food , i want mexican food. and for the price you would expect better. my 12 yr granddaughter can do better. this will never happen again. read more

The meal was the worst Mexican dinner I think I have ever eaten. The salsa was watery and no flavor. The chicken dinner was thrown in the trash after 3 or 4 bites. Waste of money. Will never eat here again. read more

My husband & I have been eating at Polo s for years. We think it is the best Mexican food & compare all Mexican food to polos and we have't found any we like better. I love the queso fundido. You can't get that at any other Mexican restaurant. The homemade tortilla chips are the best. read more

I have been eating here for almost 35 years. Haven't been here in a while and was a little uncertain by the 2.5 rating. The food was awesome just as was years ago. Service was great. I would recommend it to anyone. read more

I live in L.A. and NO trip to Oklahoma is complete without a stop at Polo's. I've read the other reviews. Apparently they have no idea what mexican food is supposed to taste like, probably dislike Polo's cause it isn't Taco Bell. The queso fundido is legendary. The service is always excellent. And they serve the best nachos. The mild salsa is for people who don't eat much spicy food, ask for something hotter. Ground beef is not in traditional mexican food. read more

We found a gem!!! This place is so unique! Feels like you are in Puerto Rico.. Ask to be shown around to see all the places to eat ( the patio, bars, and other chambers ) the fajitas where amazing! The white cheese dip Is so creamy and yummy... Chili Reno is really good as well. I'm sure you can't go wrong with anything on the menu.. Service is great after you get seated and the fresh made hot tortillas are amazing!!! The fajitas is a show in its self with fire table side!!! read more

FAVORITE place to eat in Ada!! They have THE best tortilla soup I've personally ever eaten! They have a little spot at the front door where you can watch them make flour tortillas. They melt in your mouth!! Also love their mild salsa. read more

Read the reviews and really expected so much more! People must not eat much Mexican! We got there around 4:15. Not busy. Got sat quickly, but took quite a while before a waiter came by. He took drink orders and left. Booth across from us was sat and then got their drinks. We were still waiting. They placed their FOOD order. Okay, here comes our Margarita and ice water. We placed order. Received chips and salsa. The salsa tastes like a runny tomato sauce. No heat! We had to ask for tortillas. And cheese dip. We agreed to pay $5.50 for large cheese dip. It's not quest. Just melted cheese. It smelled rank, like vomit. Anyway, our food came. It was okay. I don't think I would drive out of my way to eat here again!! read more

I have been eating at Polo's for years. The atmosphere is great, and the waiters do their job well. I actually enjoy their salsa, unlike most people, since I like the tomatoey taste and not chunky salsa. I always order the shrimp giso, since I'm a pescatarian, which is always made fresh and tastes great. It's definitely not the best Mexican restaurant ever, but it's the best one in Ada, Oklahoma. read more

For Mexican food, it wasn't what I was expecting. For food, it was decent. I'm not much of a meat person, but everything seemed to have either beef, pork, or chicken (usually beef). I agree, the salsa left something to be desired. However, the food wasn't terrible, just not what I would call great Mexican food The service was very good-the staff was efficient and friendly. read more

Foods pretty decent. But please make some real, legit salsa. I'm from Texas and can't understand how this tomato based salsa is all that's available at any Mexican restaurant in Ada. Unfortunately you can buy better in the store, but that shouldn't be the case for any Mexican restaurant. read more

Salsa tasted like cold tomato soup. Ordered the lunch fajitas. Tortillas both smelled and tasted raw. Won't return.

Restaurant is a little dirty for me. Tortilla holder smelled sour. Restroom is small.

I have been eating here since 1976. It is the best Mexican restaurant in Ada. The fajitas are amazing and the Jalisco dinner is very good. I love their salsa and their complimentary fresh made corn tortillas with butter. The staff is great and the owners are awesome. The make great margartias and the atmostphere is pleasing. I love this place! read more

Some of the food is not so great, however they do have their moments. Service is usually pretty good but can be hectic at times; a lot of people choose to eat and socialize there and it can become quite noisy. I only go to Polo's when I'm meeting with family from out of town, and that's more for the tradition rather that quality of service. There's been times our waitress has forgotten meals that we ordered, or have brought us the wrong orders. All in all, if you're looking for a place to meet up with friends for a quick dinner, this is the place to go. read more

Tied with La Fiesta for the TexMex restaurant of choice in Ada. Often come here for lunch and it's always very busy, so that should tell you something. I agree with the mild salsa comments but who eats mild salsa anyway! The spicy salsa is just fine and the tortillas are great. In fact you will often walk past someone making a fresh batch of tortillas on your way to the dining room. read more

I've been coming to Polo's for all of my 25 years. I currently live in Fort Worth (aka the Tex-Mex capital of the world) and Polo's is still by far my favorite. I make my parent's take me every chance I can when I'm home to visit. Their guacamole is my favorite, but there literally isn't anything bad on the menu. I rotate between getting the Jalisco (two enchiladas) or their fajitas. Be prepared if you get the fajitas, they are flambeed table-side with vodka. read more

Absolutely the best Mexican restaurant in Ada or anywhere for that matter. It's a weekly stop for us. Everything on the menu is great but the fajaitas are wonderful. The world's best hot sauce. Wait staff are all courteous and efficient. read more

Waited 20 minutes on cold soup. The salsa is ketchup. No chicken in my chicken soup. They sure piled on the cheese though. That's what you get with white people serving Mexican food I guess. This is the first time I've ever seen that. Bad times. Tomorrow morning will likely be much worse. read more

The salsa is horrible. The food has no seasoning what so ever. The chips aren't even good. Would never order there again.

This restaurant is awful. The waiters are condescending and rude, the food is bad, the "salsa" is tomato soup. The entire time I was there I was praying for Gordon Ramsey. One other thing that truly bothered me, is that on their menu they have an item spelled "el trabajador", which they pronounce as "el troubadour", and they looked at me like I was an asshole when I tried to point it out. :/ read more

The salsa tasted like spicy spaghetti sauce so that was gross. My dinner consisted of avocado wrapped in a tortilla with cheese sauce and 2 shrimp on top. It was a very bland experience. read more

We have found the Polo's resturant to be the best and most consistant place to eat in Ada. The service is always superb. The wait staff is well trained, courtious and a plesant addition to the great food. To understand how wonderful the food is you just have to arrive about meal time. The place will be packed but wait times are usually short. read more

Their salsa tastes like a mix between ketchup and grape jelly, and they served my wife rancid chicken. This place is bad and I don't know how it stays in business. read more

I have eaten at Mexican restaurants all over the state, because I love Mexican food. I honestly have no idea how this place is in business. I live in McAlester and had to travel here for a doctors appointment and had to find somewhere to eat supper at. My husband ordered chicken quesadillas which he said were cold and bland, and tortillas tasted like they were store bought. We also ordered white queso for an appetizer (which was 6.00). I ordered the Beef chimichanga with rice. When I got my chimichanga it was filled with shredded steak beef instead of ground hamburger meat. I got the yellow queso on top of the chimichanga and it tasted like the yellow cheese you get at a basketball or football game, straight out of the can. I just told her to take back the chimichanga and I would try to eat the rice. It was inedible as well. When we got the bill it was 30.00 . (after they took off my chimichanga) for 2 people, and one of them didn't get a full meal! I paid 6 for queso, and 4 for rice, for a side of rice, it was 4 dollars!!!!!!!! Then 5.00 for drinks. We will never go back there. I never Yelp (maybe 3-4 times, ever) and I knew as soon as I left I would comment here! read more

Terrible salsa. Dry food. The only redeeming item was the flour tortilla. I took the local's word for it and can't imagine they have eaten Mexican food anywhere else in the country. read more

They have great queso and mostly good food but their nachos are microwaved it looks like and the mild salsa is basically tomato sauce.... opt for hot salsa, which isn't too hot for me but definitely better! read more

I'll be the second to comment about eating better frozen mexican dinners than this place. Our server was terrible, I think she spoke less than ten words the entire time. The homemade chips seem to be a big hit, we must have been there on a bad day because the chips weren't anything to speak of. read more

Went on a motorcycle ride today to the Amish Auction in Chiliat OK. Stop to eat here on the way back. Was not impressed and way to expensive. Cost more than the Fancy Ted's Mexican in OKC and Lawton. Will not be back. read more

Food was ok, nothing bad but nothing really good either. Environment and service was good though, no concerns there.

Food is good, price is right, need to work on hot sauce--weak, not hot at all, like tomato juice; ask for green sauce if you want some 'good' stuff. read more

Polo fajitas is in a class of there own This is still the best Mexican Food None else Compares Sorry You Are Missing The secrets to there food YOU CAN'T EAT HERE ONCE THEN GIVE THEM BAD REVIEWS read more

We went on a Friday night a couple nights ago food was bad, salsa was plain tastes just like tomato sauce, or server was terrible took forever to get drinks right and to refill if we were lucky . We will not be back here read more

I enjoyed Polo's food, but the service was awful, and from Polo himself. I had a meeting with two friends of mine there today on my lunch break after they had already eaten elsewhere. I was the only one eating in the party of three and ordered from the lunch menu which said my meal would be $7 and change. After drinking water my bill came out to be $17! They charged an extra $7 to MY bill because the two I were meeting with were seen eating a chip. THE CHIPS AND SALSA THAT I DID NOT EVEN ASK FOR AND ARE COMPLIMENTARY! After going back and forth they refused to remove the $7 chip that my friend ate. I will not be going back here. read more

Went to Polo's for the first time and really did not enjoy it. We will not be going back. Food was expensive and did not have much flavor. Paid over $100 for 6 people and was so disappointed. The service was the only decent part of the whole experience. read more
