Non-Touristy Parrilla
On my past visit to EZE to visit a son working there, we had a fabulous dinner at La Brigada a neighborhood steakhouse where, like in "Cheers" everyone knows your name and the steak, in my experience is superior to Las Lilas (inconsistent IMHO). La Brigada is located in San Telmo in an area not recommendable for an after dinner walk. To complete the picture, prices are extremely reasonable.

Back on this thread.....
So Folks... after not visiting this thread for about one year, Ive now bookmarked it and will be adding information regularly. I have a good number of new places to report on, and welcome everybody to add their impressions on the places that are recommended here.
Its important to keep in mind that places change, chefs move, and consistent quality is sometimes rather elusive.... so it would be best for all if we could make this thread as active and visited as the other EZE ultimate Q&A thread.
Cheers,
Gaucho100K

thanks.
We started with an appetizer to share for the table of chorizo sausage and calamari. The chorizo was superb. Entrees for the three of us were:
Grilled cod in Basque sauce
Grilled trout with garlic and parsley
Lomo
Everyone was happy. Washed it down with a bottle of Alfredo Catena La Mision Malbec 2001. After dinner liqueur was on the house while we waited for our cab.

I'm not sure I'd venture here if I didn't speak at least a little but of Spanish. Afterwards, you're close to the bars and pubs on San Martin.

Dora is good and the prior review is correct. 
[If you have trouble or don't speak Spanish and have a cell phone while there, the solution is to call the hotel's concierge and have them "translate". And that's presuming the unlikely event that no one in the restaurant will help with even rudimentary English.]

Just wondering, though, if the typical foreign travel thing of pointing at other diner's food and gesturing wildly works in BsAs?!
