Fodor's Review:
You'd be hard-pressed to do better for Argentine steaks, anytime, anyplace. Amid elaborate decor, including scores of soccer mementos, a courtly staff will treat you to unimpeachable mollejas (sweetbreads) and chinchulines de chivito (kid intestines), plus a brilliant array of grilled steaks. The baby beef is tender enough to cut with a spoon. Skip the sister restaurant in Barrio Norte, which isn't up to the same standard. Reservations recommended.

Just OK

Food is over rated and expensive compared
to other steakhouses. Service is mediocre
at best.
Great Ending to Buenos Aires Visit

We visited La Brigada on our last day in Buenos Aires. The food was the best we had during our week long visit. The service could not have been better. Jose was fantasic and made my experience great. He recommend the best steaks and wine. We had the opportunity to meet the owner and he enjoyed joking with us. I suggest anyone visit this lovely restaurant and they had the best chorizo.
Wonderful
ah, steak from the pampas
Posted by drdawggy from Abilene, Texas on 4/4/08
Grass fed beef straight from the pampas, sans growth hormones or the grain used to fatten cattle in the United States, coupled with grill masters who spend their lives perfecting the art of cooking "carne", courteous and knowledgeable waiters, in a country where no one hurries through a meal..taking time to enjoy the food and the company....are the essential ingredients for a meal to remember at La Brigada...(The second location in Recoleta is actually far better than the orignial and better known location in San Telmo). Oh, and no steak dinner in Argentina is complete without a grilled provolone appetizer, puree to calabza as a side dish, flan with dulce de leche for dessert...all washed down with a full bodies Argentine Malbec wine. Perfection!
Gem in San Telmo for Carne
Posted by bostondavid from Boston on 10/6/07
There is no shortgage of parilla/steakhouses in Bs As and in San Telmo, particularly so close to charming, but touristy/touristed Plaza Dorrego La Brigada is a great find. Although I always get anxious when I see english on a menu, this is not a tourtist restaurant though they do accomodate toursists/non-Spanish speakers quice nicely and not condescendingly. On a recent Saturday Portions are generous and the grill work excellent. Good wine list with several good value choices...
