Yeah, I don't doubt that, somewhere in BA at some price, there's a great steak to be had, but the problem now is that the relatively affordable BA steakhouses are only OK, not fantastic. I would suspect you're going to have to pay Morton's/Palm prices for "the good stuff," and I don't know if it will be better than Morton's or the Palm. Otherwise, a lot of the "regular" steakhouses in Buenos Aires get glowing reviews on sites like tripadvisor, but only have good but not great steak (at least if you know what the beef used to be like).
