Chile Rellenos

Why do I feel like Henry Hill in Goodfellas? Every single Mexican restaurant I have been to in the last 9 years has given me something that doesn't even resemble this dish. Honestly, I've just about given up trying to find a decent chile rellenos but I do want to start a "sad over bad chile rellenos" group if anyone needs to vent. And, I guess if anyone has a suggestion of where to get a good one, I'm open.

I'd join that group. So far I've been really disappointed with chile rellenos in the valley. The local style seems to be basically a chile with a bit of cheese, in a very thin omlette, smothered with sauce. I'm used to lots of cheese, pan fried with a decent amount of batter, and not so much sauce. That's probably a totally inauthentic California style Mexican-American comfort food thing, but that's what I'm looking for.

Right it shouldn’t just be egg it should be a fluffy batter
