Benny's is the kind of place where you can bring a large group and you'll be seated without a flurry of table-moving or frustrated servers. Located in the triangle of restaurants in the Capitol Hill area, it's a margarita-sipping, chip-crunching type of place. With a plentiful lineup of tequilas, the margaritas are crowd-pleasing favorites. People also make a special point to stop by for the crispiest rellenos in town. The entrees are huge, standard Mexican favorites all served in an upbeat atmosphere. Probably not the best choice before a fancy theater event, the El Borrico is a giant tortilla filled with beef, refriotos and then smothered with chili, onions and cheese. The Mexican steak and tacos al carbon are popular, but it's the rellenos get the most attention. Relleno connoisseurs brag that these are the best in town.
