Jonathan Gold is the Pulitzer Prize-winning food writer for the LA Times. This week he reviews Colonia Taco Lounge in La Puente. He recommends the cauliflower taco, deep fried doraditos, queso fresco "campión" taco, barbacoa taco and the nachostada. Get there early for the duck confit and guacamole tacos which sell out quickly. To drink he prefers the michelada (especially the one served with Epic Brewing Company's Sour Apple Saison ale.
