OUTSTANDING! I'm almost afraid to post how good they are…read more
This is not a dine-in eatery. See what you like. Order. Pay, and take out.
Been eating there since they opened. Brought a Nigerian doctor there, and he fell in love with the food, also. He said it reminded him of home: the care, seasoning, preparation.
When I used to work seven blocks, and two avenues over. I would walk. My co-workers tried the food, then they would buy my meal, IF I walked there to pick up. I got a LOT of exercise.
I've brought a lot of people there, back in the day, until our office moved further away.
The Mrs. of the business was the sweetest! She a had a great sense of humor, too. She and I used to talk.
Years passed, then we had our primary food from Polancos for Thanksgiving; roast chicken & fixins. We're older, now, and don't care for big holiday celebrations. We simply enjoy good food & good company. We brought homemade, old-fashioned 7-Up cake, Ms. Holmes canned collards - we added smoked meats - plenty love, good conversation, then good sleep.
I'm an outstanding cook! But I! Am! Tired! The house is empty, and I've run out of gas for cooking for myself.
So! Although I'm surrounded by very good Chinese, Jamaican, Dominican, fast-food, etc. I catch the bus in the thunder storm, to "return" to Polancos.
The line was so long, I was blocking the door.
When I got up to the counter, there was another line formed behind me... out the door.
This is my third trip in two weeks.
The lettuce is so beautiful, it doesn't look real! That's how VERY fresh it is, along with all of the salad additions, and I'm not a salad person, but I've become one because of the.
They have something like an okra stew. Haven't had okra in a billion years, BUT I'LL EAT THEIRS!
Their cooking is so magically delicious, you'll be adventurous, and try this, that, and the other!
Polancos forever!
