Says Denver Dave:
I am fully prepared to take some heat for this, but there is nothing right about that picture. First of all, a chile relleno in an eggroll wrapper, really? And you think it's a good thing? Unbelievable. And, that "green chile" looks very sad and watery and lacking in the main ingredient.Do you like your chiles relleno crispy -- eggroll crispy? Or soft, like the chiles relleno at El Chingon? Post your opinions -- humble or not -- below, and read Gretchen Kurtz's review of El Chingon here.Just one New Mexico boy's humble opinion, though.
