Taxi from EZE airport or Uber?

I'm just waiting for the taxi mafias to start getting broken up outside AMBA... It's annoying when I go to Neuquén to have to deal with the taxi mobsters who price gouge like crazy, going from the airport into the city.
When I think about how much progress has been made in Argentina and especially Buenos Aires with the taxis I get a huge smile on my face. Things have changed so much over the past 2 decades. I remember when I first came to Buenos Aires, the taxi cartel was like a mafia. Taxi medallians used to be as expensive as an apartment. They were so expensive. Now they are worthless in the new era of Uber and Didi and Cabify.

Then when Uber first got to BA for many years it was taxi drivers hitting cars and not knowing if you would get beat up going into an Uber. For a while you always had to ride in front and even then if a taxi cab saw you it would doubtful what would happen.

Great to see progress with this. I agree with you @Darksider415 it will be a great day when they allow rideshares at every airport all over Argentina. That really is the trend.
