La Brigada
Estados Unidos 465 (San Telmo)
Buenos Aires, Argentina
(multiple locations)J and I went here twice. Once by ourselves at the beginning of our two week stay in Buenos Aires and once at the end of our stay with J's parents. In between we sampled many of Buenos Aires most recommended and popular "parillas" including La Cabrera and El Mirasol, which we didn't think were as good. I'd have to say our first time was much better because during our second visit we made the mistake of ordering a variety of cuts, hence magnifying the fact that some cuts are inferior to others.

Here are two quotes from J during our first visit to La Brigada:
J after his first bite of Bife de Chorizo (Sirloin Steak): "We're screeewed!"
J after his last bite of Bife de Chorizo: "I feel like I should go lift weights now."
We are screwed. We'd might as well turn vegetarian because we'll never eat steaks as good as those in Argentina ever again!
1. La Brigada storefront - if we weren't looking for it, we would've thought it looked too sketch to go in.
2. Inside the restaurant
3. Bife de Chorizo, a punto (medium)
4. The bill (top to bottom) - 2X table fee, 2X bottles of local beer, 1X bottle of water, 1X garlic fries, 2X best steaks we've ever had in our entire lives = 35 USD
