I have eaten at Picaron and Acido, and they are both excellent restaurants, which I would not hesitate to order a burger at. Neither is cheap. Both serve a wide range of dishes, both always have a few dishes of really good seafood as well.
I think their burger advice is not bad. But I have my own ideas...

My wife and I went to Granero in Milberg yesterday with a couple of friends, and it was great, but it wasn't cheap at all. For the four of us, it ended up being around 300k pesos after dessert and tip, but a significant chunk of that was my wife ordering the wagyu bife de chorizo. If you don't get the wagyu, you can knock a pretty good chunk off of that, depending on what you order.

Thanks for the recommendation, that’s sort of out our way so I’ve added it to our bucket list.

The bife de chorizo wagyu is 70k on the menu, I see.

Do you know if it’s pet-friendly?

Their instagram says they're pet-friendly, and they do have a pretty big space with lots of outdoor and covered seating, so I'd be willing to bet they actually are.

Had a meal in Recoleta this weekend and I cried when I was looking at restaurant prices. Still a few nice places that are decently priced, but the majority are touristy places that are a huge rip-off.

Ill stick to the less frequented barrios for my meals thanks

While we certainly like eating out occasionally at a higher-end place like El Granero recommended by @darksider415 above, we also like to find humbler places with good food, so this past weekend we went to El Rinconcito Norteño on the eastern edge of Escobar. The last part of the drive is along a dirt road, arriving at a nondescript single-storey building with a couple of fruit trees. Walk through the grove of trees and you'll find a space with tables under a trellised vine at the back of the building between the football pitches and the restaurant, which I suspect serves as the clubhouse whenever football matches are played.

El Rinconcito Norteño is only open at weekends from 1-5pm and again from 7:30-11pm.

The menu limits itself to the classical Peruvian dishes (and it changes, they said they're in a process of finding out which dishes sell and which don't), we've had tamales and causa (chicken) for starters, and ceviche, jalea, rabas, lomo saltado, aji de gallina for main courses. Torta tres leches for dessert. No coffee, unfortunately. Portions are inexpensive (by today's standards, starters under 20k Pesos, main courses 20-30k Pesos, bottle of wine (Mosquita Muerta family) 13500 Pesos), and they are huge. Two people will be happy sharing a plate. Good food and friendly service, I don't ask for much more. They will also give you proper spicy Peruvian aji if you ask for it.
