| - Really good food. Believe the reviews. Went for lunch and didn't really know what to expect from a place called Slick's Garage. Turns out it's a mix of american burgers/sandwiches and New Mexican food. Service was very friendly and place was clean. It's table service. The auto-garage theme is kitschy in a good way, with a lot of neat stuff to see on the walls.
I tried the Studebaker Reuben and added green chile and cheese to the fries. Came out hot and fresh, with a generous portion of pastrami and was grilled perfectly, no greasy bread like some places. I will note they used seeded (caraway) rye bread, which I loved, but some like my husband prefer unseeded. Overall, a great hot sandwich. For me though, the green chile fries were the star. Really, their green chile is so delicious. I could've eaten bowl of it. Can't wait to go back and try some of the New Mexican dishes or burgers topped with it. My husband ordered the gyros. It was highlighted on the menu as one of the house specialties so he gave it a go and really enjoyed it. The meat was so flavorful. I took a bite and wanted to share. :) Not sure if the meat was house made, but it sure seemed like it. The pita was toasted/grilled nicely, and the large thin layers of cucumber were a nice touch. At first glance the the sandwich seemed small, but those meat slices are fairly thick, and when you folded it up it was a decent size. Salad was fresh, topped with crumbled feta and dressing on the side. Hubby said it was all so good he'd order it again.
Honestly, this place is great. We really enjoyed it. It reminded me of what casual dine-in restaurants used to be before most of them went down hill in the early 2000s. It's delicious food, well-made for reasonable prices and with good, friendly service too. Highly recommended. We'll return soon.
