Though I have had good ones in San Antonio, >Albuquerque and Uruapan, Mexico. In the old location Matt's El Rancho did a lot of things well, including a wonderful shrimp chili relleno. But every time we've given the new restaurant a chance, they've disappointed us. Ninfa's on 6th does the best relleno I know of. Only had one, in fact only been their once, but it was a knockout.

I'm surprised that no one else has posted about this place. The atmosphere is Austin eclectic. The food is always good. Just don't order chicken fried steak.

Best ones I've had recently were at that new place where Don Limon's used to be. Something Juarez, I think. Mercado Juarez? They've got a few other restaurants, too. The shrimp rellenos were great. Not bay shrimp, but nice, big, plump shrimp cut into stuffing sized pieces. Large, spicy poblano, not too much breading, not too much cheese, not greasy. Damn near perfect. I'm not much on chains, but I've eaten there a few times and it's been at least very good every time. They do a hell of a cabrito, too. > The worst, IMO, are at La Hacienda in Cedar Park. I wish > our friends never had talked us into eating there. Never eaten there. Rarely make it that far north. Had plenty of soggy, sorry rellenos, though. A lot of them in Mexico. Cheers, Dusty
Try El Rinconcito's Chile Rellenos. Also, Arturo's on around 12th St. and Airport has good chile rellenos at a really great price, especially on their lunch specials (tuesday's I think).
