I’ve read in BA the ATM limits are relatively low and fees are exceptionally high.

Due the currency instability, you will not be able to get Argentine Pesos at a bank here in the US. You could try a currency dealer. However, I recommend waiting until you land in Buenos Aires.
At the airport, there is a currency exchange. Turn 180 degrees to the right immediately after coming through Immigration and past the car services. You can come back to book a car after you get cash.
Blue Market currency exchanges are legal in Argentina. I had trouble with the ATMs in Mendoza, and it was after banking hours. I asked a waiter outside a restaurant for directions to National Bank. He then motioned to follow him. He led me into an outdoor mall area. Another man arrived who asked in English how much I wanted to exchange. We quickly bargained over the exchange rate, and I left with the pesos.
If you choose to try the Blue Market, go during the daytime. BA has a road that has several of these stores, so you can bargain better.
