Jonathan Gold Reviews Colonia Taco Lounge

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.
