Smoky Chicken That Needs No Sauce!…read more We popped into Papi's Peruvian Chicken on a Sunday, hoping to beat the church crowd, but it turns out, the real blessing was waiting inside. As soon as we pulled into the parking lot, my buddy leaned over and said, "Man, someone's smoking something and it smells delicious." When we stepped inside, his grin got even bigger as he turned to me and said, "It's this place, great choice!" We both went for the smoked dark quarter with street corn salad. My buddy chose green beans, and I went with the Inca pork beans. I asked the woman at the counter to recommend a sauce, and she took the time to explain each one, patiently answering all my basic questions. It turns out, the chicken didn't need any sauce at all. It was smoky, moist, and packed with flavor--crispy on the outside with a deep, wood-fired taste that lingered with every bite. The Inca pork beans were hearty and full of flavor, a solid sidekick to the main event. The street corn salad, while fresh, could have used a bit more kick--maybe a sprinkle of cheese or a dash of lime to brighten it up. The interior's industrial strip mall vibe is functional but could benefit from a few authentic touches--like Peruvian art or music--to match the rich flavors coming out of the kitchen. If you're craving smoky, fall-off-the-bone chicken, Papi's Peruvian Chicken is worth the trip. I'll definitely be back to try more!

They have renovated the old space and opened it up into the adjacent store front. It's still a little tight and not long on ambiance but the food is amazing. I had the Texas fajitas which included shrimp steak and chicken. The tortillas appear to be made fresh. Portions are large. I had much more meat than guacamole salad, but it was well prepared and delivered sizzling. My wife had the skirt steak and was very happy with it. My daughter had a chicken dish which was smothered in queso which had just the right amount of heat. My son had tacos made with beef tongue- he is the adventurous eater- and ate every bite, paired with a tamarind soda. This appears to be family run - they were super friendly. Our waiter's English was not good, but we got through and he was very polite. They did not move us along and we needed to ask for the check when we were ready - once we asked we got checked out promptly. Pricing was very reasonable. All in all this is a great addition to the few restaurants in that area of town and as they get their feet under them I'm sure will only improve. We will be back as the food and friendly service is worth the trip.

After placing our order we waited for our name to be called when the food was ready. We tried the CBT burger ($12.00), Goomba burger ($14.00), Chevy Dawg ($9.00), and seasoned chips ($4.00). My favorite was the CBT burger. Both of the burgers came with double thick patties. The CBT burger had melted American cheese, caramelized onions, sliced long pickles, and a "special" sauce. I wish it had more of the sauce- wasn't much there to begin with. The sauce was a stone ground Dijon mustard mixture. The Goomba burger had melted havarti cheese, fresh arugula, sauteed buttered mushrooms, and a little lemon aioli. I was not a huge fan. The meat patties were a little dry. I could not finish the entire burger. Wasn't that impressed with the Chevy Dawg. It came with a light buttermilk coleslaw, pickled relish, yellow mustard, ketchup, and chopped deep-fried floured onions over an Angus hot dog. The hot dog bun was over toasted. I didn't like the taste that much. Maybe it's because they didn't slather the ketchup all over the bun. Once I got to the ketchup part, then it started to taste good. I like that they donate $1 from this purchase to the local animal rescue. The seasoned potato chips could use improvement. First, they need more seasoning. Second, some of the chips were not crispy. Lastly, the most disappointing of all, is that they gave us a skimpy amount of a lemon ranch dressing dip that goes with it. It was a poorly distributed ratio of dip for a huge bowl of chips! I would try this food truck again but would just stick to the CBT burger.

This is Chef Bud Taylor (a James Beard Foundation Winner)'s post-covid project that serves awesome burgers and a very original, signature dog. The Goomba burger is my favorite. There are no substitutes because this burger won a James Beard Foundation award... hence don't fix what is definitely not broken. If you can appreciate unique and original food with a ton of flavor, do seek out this food truck. Also, everything is served with house made chips... but they do run out so get there early! Also, perhaps it bears repeating - JAMES BEARD FOUNDATION WINNER HERE!

I was fortunate enough to get to sample many of the items before Making the official menu. I absolutely love the monte cristo and Cuban egg rolls.

Eggroll options include Cheese steak, Bacon mac and cheese, Pepperoni pizza, Sweet Cuban, Monte cristo, and S'more. You can buy two egg rolls for $6 and mix and match is allowed. I felt full after eating 4.5 egg rolls. You can also convert your egg roll into a topping on fries. The egg rolls are wrapped in a thin egg roll wrapper and deep-fried. Most of the egg rolls were crispy except the bacon mac and cheese. Best to eat the egg rolls as soon as they are cooked or they turn cold fast. My first favorite egg roll was the Cheese steak and my second favorite was the Pepperoni pizza. The cheese steak had thinly sliced tender ribeye with mozzarella cheese. You get to choose either A1 sauce or Mayo drizzled on the cheese steak egg roll. I preferred the Mayo. The Pepperoni pizza had thinly sliced pepperoni with plenty of mozzarella cheese, drizzled with marinara sauce. The flavor was basically like eating a pizza. The bacon mac and cheese egg roll had good flavor but wasn't crispy. It had creamy mac and cheese and smoked bacon, drizzled with smokehouse BBQ sauce. I wasn't digging the Sweet Cuban egg roll probably because it was missing the pork. It had deli sliced ham, swiss cheese, gherkin pickles, drizzled with Cuban mustard. The Monte cristo was good. It was only slightly sweet, not overpowering. It had sliced deli turkey, ham, Swiss cheese, a drizzle of raspberry jam, and sprinkled with powdered sugar. The S'more egg roll was good for dessert. Be prepared for sticky fingers. It had lots of marshmallow fluff, milk chocolate, graham crackers crumbs, drizzled with chocolate and sprinkled with powdered sugar. Would eat at this food truck again.

FOOD: Chicken wings were very large, served up steaming hot, fried to a light-skinned crunch and smothered with some savory / sweet BBQ sauce. With just the right amount of heat, then dipped into the cup of ranch dressing...oh my. Fries were as to be expected with a light dusting of salt and minimal seasoning. Crinkle-cut aren't my top choice for fries and a little extra dusting of some southern seasoning would have added some more "bang" but still good. The highlight today was that Seafood Mac & Cheese with extra creamy cheese blended in with fresh backfin and claw crabmeat and medium-sized shrimp...seasoned and grilled wonderfully. I enjoyed this side very much! SCORE: 4.7 STARS!! SERVICE: Travis and Co. were on their A-Game today with soggy weather and light drizzle in the air. The food was served up hot, fast and with smiles all around. Well done again today. Consistently good service each time I've visited. SCORE: 5 STARS!! OVERALL SCORE: On Thyme brings that southern comfort food that you know you'll enjoy and come back next time for more. Great food, fryers were working today and a homerun delivered. 4.85 STARS!!
