O "no lleva mayonesa" = "no le pusieron mayonesa a..."


"no está hecho con mayonesa" = "la mayonesa no es un ingrediente de..."


Just a variety of ways to express it, I'm hoping.... smile

Cristalino's choices are, I think, more reasonable. Depending on the emphasis, the "really" doesn't mean anything in English or (like the "de verdad" in Spanish) suggests that you think they (the personnel of the establishment) may have been lying to you.

For a slightly more emphatic version of Cristalino's suggestions, you could tack a "verdad" on at the end of the question. This makes it a softer request for confirmation. e.g."¿No lleva mayonesa, verdad?" (I've taken the liberty of supplying the missing punctuation.)
