Love the crispy coating. I would have liked more flavors. I did add chorizo to the filling which helped. It was good but I'm looking for even more messiness that I know as Mexican cooking. I love going to a restaurant with all the goodies around the plate and a sloppy mess of goodness in the middle. This was a good week night meal but I want even more flavor for a keeper.

AMAZING! Marcela never seems to disappoint. I don't know what I'd do without her! I stuffed my poblanos with chorizo, potato, & cheese. Everything was perfect! I paired the dish with Marcela's poblano rice recipe, perfect! Thank you Marcela!

I am a HUGE chiles rellenos fan and I've been all over the Internet testing various recipes.
Marcela's recipe is the closest I've ever come to CR perfection. Love the oregano in the cheese. Love the batter. Love the sauce. Keep in mind the sauce is intended to be very simple and brothy -- a contrast to set off the fried batter, roasted pepper and oozy cheese. One place to increase the seasoning would be either to add salt to the dredging flour or the batter giving you just a little more pop there. And, finally -- Chiles Rellenos are a lot of work. There's just no way around roasting and filling your peppers, chilling, dredging and frying. Have a beer and enjoy it!

Love Marcelas recipes, truly authentic mexican food. I added extras from my moms recipe and they were great! I use mexican cheese because we grew up watching my mom put that cheese. over all they were great. Thanks Marcela.

Pretty good! It's not too hard but definitely not a weeknight meal. I forgot the toothpicks but I just pulled it tight and it turned out fine. I recommend adding a little chili pepper to the sauce or possibly chicken Bouillon. My husband and 5 yrs old loved it.

My first time both making and eating Chiles Rellenos, so I have no basis of comparison. But these were delicious! Will definitely be making these again. Never disappointed with Marcela's recipes!

This isn't TexMex! I love Chile Rellenos and this recipe rivals any that I've had out west. The roasted poblanos really shine and the oregano is a great touch. I over roasted the chiles the first time but I've learned that lesson. Really love this recipe!

I haven't tried this recipe but for those who don't have a gas burner, what i do is rub tthem with oil and roast them in the oven.

It was a bit time consuming but for the most part my family thought the results was worth the effort. Only my extremely picky sister didn't like them. The one problem we had was with peeling the chard chiles. Not having a gas burner we used the gril and then ended up steaming in the bag too long. We'll be smarter when we do it again. But great flavor and it's great for those only beginning to fry (like me.

i made these for our cinco de mayo party at home. they were pretty good. i have to say it was alot of work. not that is was so hard but very time consuming. we did not care for the salsa recipe. maybe it was my onions but that was the only flavor you could taste.
