When I lived in El Paso in the 60s we'd pop across to Juarez (yet another thing that has vanished) for chiles rellenos or T-bone steak. The triangular peppers they served (still have not been able to identify the variety) were delicious and there was bragging rights for the guy that could get closest to the stem without wimping our. (This was when I still had my Yankee tongue.) Nowadays Poblano is most common and ... acceptable. But rarely warm enough to be interesting. Accordingly, I rarely order rellenos now.

Btw, regarding stuffed (bell) peppers, it is not just the bell that I object to. The stuffing is almost invariably an imitation of bad meat loaf. Even when one can taste the meat, beef and bell just don't go together.
