Also, Pura Tierra is absolutely delightful, Gaucho100K introduced me to it last year. The Wild Boar with 17 vegetables is worth the trip to Buenos Aires. Their fish is not as good as the meat options, however, in my two trips there.
While I still think La Brigada is a good place, it is true that over the last 2 years or so - Hugo (the owner) has started to turn the place into a rather touristy oriented restaurant.... if he continues to steer things in this way, Im afraid I will have to downgrade La Brigada to the Tourist Trap category. Prices have increased dramatically, as have spreads on wines.... its a shame, I hope he doesnt steer too far off the charts.... time will tell.
Of the other two parrillas, I favor Don Julio but its still a close call... in this category, I also suggest including La Dorita.
