    Seating area in front of Rivera Taco Express II.

    It was a little windy the day that we went, but the food was on point. Someone mentioned it looked a little sketch, and it does look a little sketchy but again food is really on point, authentic and that's all you can ask for.

    Chicken tacos & red hot sauce

    I ordered 2 chicken tacos. She asked if I wanted onions & cilantro. I ordered a side of rice and hot sauce. The food is delicious. Service was nice & food was ready quickly.

    The Yelp reviews for Rivera Express are impressive and I know how Delawareans can make a cult following out of the most unassuming establishments. I drive by here pretty often and finally decided to STOP and take heed. It's is indeed a food truck but as far as I know it doesn't travel. They operate between the Royal Farms and a dry cleaners. The menu is posted on the front and they have as good a selection of meats for your meal as El Pique, my favorite. Prices are comparable too but I didn't see any specials like "$5.00 Taco Tuesday. I ordered the tacos Al Pastor. I found the meat a little dry and the pineapple a tad overwhelming. El Pique has pineapple in the marinade and it comes through without adding more in the topping. I prefer theirs. What Rivera does add that I liked was a grilled scallion and jalepeno at no extra charge as well as two delicious sauces. El Pique charges .49 cents for these extras.

    Al Pastor, Carnitas, Bistec tacos

    Great service. Very good tacos. Reasonable price. I'm a tough taco critic. I have had some of the best tacos in the country and I go hard on the tacos I make at home. This place had good tortillas, kept things simple, and had the touches that made me miss my local taco shops back home. The pastor was super good. The carnitas and bistec was very good, but the flavors on them were a little flat relatively speaking. My wife got a burrito. I've had smothered Tex Mex burritos, but I've never seen a burrito topped with so much sour cream and lettuce and tomato. Definitely overkill on the toppings IMO. Staff was friendly, food came out quick, great social distancing practices. That speaks to how much they care about their customers. Looking forward to going back!

    Tacos are delicious and cheap. Be sure to ask for everything on them- that is not the default. Food is prepared quickly, I've never had to wait more than 5 minutes. Try the homemade fresh fruit water- it is the perfect drink on a hot day.

    2 pastor and a chorizo... Fresh and delicious even on a cold and rainy day! I only hope that I can partake more often!

    This is my go to along with the location in Bear (my preferred location) since this is near my moms we do frequent this location also. This location is definitely hit or miss. Some times like this particular visit every was fresh, hot very tasty and satisfying. I have been to this new castle location where I've literally thrown away my food in disappointment. The four stars are for this particular visit in New Castle plus the Bear location is alway on point!! The New Castle location I never order the food, I have my husband or male friends order. I've been eating at the NC location for many many years and it has always been when a male orders the food it is put together 85% better. This is years worth of experience to be 100% confident to say that in a review. That's just the way it is at the New castle location. The Bear location never disappoints no matter who orders.

    I'll give this business 3 stars as of now but willing to update it higher after I try a different menu item. As far as my experience with just dealing with the friendly service I received as soon as I arrived is the reason it a automatic 3. The dish I chose was the taco's, to be more specific it was the "Tripe" taco which those are I believe $2.50 a piece so I ordered 3. Well first thing first, I've never even had "Tripe" before ever but wanted to try it after some food reviewers off YouTube claimed it was so good. Let's just say I think df otherwise. Nope never again and you know it's not this business fault cause If you do actually like it already, here you'd love it. That's based off how it was prepared that I know that If you wondering how I would know. The prices are cheap for the quality which is great. Next time when I do go back it'll be for what I know which is Chorizo.

    Probably one of the two best places to get food in Bear, Delaware. I get loaded tacos here- I tried pork tacos and steaks tacos. Both of the tacos were delicious, and I prefer the steak. Diners may order just meat on the tacos or get them "loaded" with cheese, sour cream, onions tomatoes and lettuce. The person who takes your order is very nice.

    Loaded Chicken Tacos

    Who needs Taco Bell? 3 Loaded Chicken Tacos Or A Chicken Quesadilla With a Horchata on the side. It never fails! Worth the wait in the cold. Worth the struggle of traffic. Worth the lack of a brick-and-mortar restaurant. Call all ahead of time if you're in a rush! You won't be disappointed!

    6 Beef Tacos (the rice & beans came from Los Machados in Middletown DE) ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS!!
