Snapshot: Founder of Taco Tonto's Steps Down

After more than 20 years, Maureen Gartland is saying goodbye to the taco business.

Gartland, founder of Taco Tonto's, turned over the keys this week to the popular downtown Kent lunch spot after founding it inside a Kent bar in the late 1980s. She's turning the keys over to Kevin and Emily Yohn and John and Jill Crino. Kevin Yohn has been a long time employee at the restaurant.
