That all said, in terms of steak places, my current fave place I send people is Don Julio in Palermo. I’m also quite fond of El Yugo in Recoleta. Both of them are reviewed on this site, though again, quite awhile back – but I think you get better value at each. I haven’t been back to El Trapiche in about a year, so I’ll stick it back on the list to re-check out one of these days. Oh, and one other point – I’ve never been to any parrilla in town that I particularly liked the brochettes/kebabs – it’s not something that’s traditional here, it’s one of those sort of invented things to please tourists who are looking for something besides a steak, and I have yet to see someone do it well… so it’s possible it was merely that particular dish.
