- Los Inmortales Taquería opened its fifth Sacramento-area location in late summer at 3551 Truxel Road in south Natomas, taking over a space that was previously a Rubio’s Coastal Grill that closed in 2024. The taqueria is known for super-sized burritos, serving regular tacos for $3.25, super burritos for $14.50 and jumbo burritos for $15.45, with hours running 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily.
- Sacramento City Unified Superintendent Cancy McArn called fiscal adviser Luz Cázares’ “grave concerns” about the district’s budget plan “unfounded” in a Thursday letter, as the district confronts a roughly $222 million structural deficit. The district’s revised 2026-27 budget assumes about $31 million in student-support grant funding will continue as ongoing revenue, plus about $23 million in Proposition 98 settle-up funds in both 2027-28 and 2028-29 — assumptions questioned by state analysts.
- SF Supermarket, formerly known as Shun Fat Supermarket, opened a new south Sacramento store at 7960 Gerber Road on Sept. 18, taking over a Save Mart that closed in July. The Asian grocery chain, founded in 1993 and now with 21 stores nationwide, also plans to open a location at 8539 Elk Grove Blvd., though no opening date has been announced.
