10. Rivera Taco Express II, Bear
Rivera Taco Express Bear
Suzy G. / Yelp
MMM… Tacos…. Locals might know this as the taco stand that used to have a giant Homer Simpson sign outside. Located near the intersection of Routes 40 and 72 in Bear, this hidden gem doesn’t look like much but its menu packs a punch. Homer might be gone, but the tacos are still very much available – and delicious.
