Pick: 2008: Editors' Pick

About: There's no skimping with these made-from-scratch appetizers -- at Armadillo, they pick the same jumbo shrimp used in their entrees to concoct the shrimp-stuffed jalapenos. A touch of Monterey Jack cheese, then the shrimp is tossed in a coating and crisp-fried to order. Some people dip them in sour cream to cut the heat a bit, says Merle Borenstein, the live-wire owner who has presided over her domain for 21 years. Choose a small order of three jalapenos, or bravely opt for a serving of five. Some people even order 10 at a time, marvels Borenstein. Just be ready with a cold beer or frozen margarita to wash 'em down. We also give a big thumbs-up to the oversized, overstuffed burritos.
