Here's what LoveFood had to say:
"Papi Queso food truck dishes out the best grilled cheese sandwiches not only in the state, but anywhere. At least, that's how its many devotees feel. The cleverly-named Pig Mac is the top-seller, stuffed with slow-smoked pulled pork, mac 'n' cheese and caramelized onions. It's a firm favorite and we can see why. Other delicious variations include a Bacon Jalapeño and a Mushroom Gruyère grilled cheese. The real secret? Pain de mie, a pillow soft white bread with a fine crumb that toasts beautifully, especially after being brushed with a mix of butter and mayonnaise."
