Elk Grove Mexican restaurant featuring seafood specialties to open second location
An Elk Grove taqueria is launching a second location and has announced a tentative opening date in the new year. El Puerto de Vallarta is set to open at 8409 Elk Grove Florin Road in February, the owner said in an interview with The Sacramento Bee. The restaurant specializes in mariscos, Mexican seafood dishes, including fish tacos, shrimp fajitas and Cóctel De Camarón y Pulpo, a shrimp and octopus cocktail. Owner Oscar Duran will oversee the Elk Grove Florin Road location. Having worked at the restaurant for 10 years, Duran said he wanted to “take a chance” by opening and running the second taqueria with his partner. “We thought we would continue that and open up another place on the other side of Elk Grove, since our clientele wouldn’t breach that bar on a normal basis,” Duran said. The original restaurant, 5105 Laguna Blvd., is open from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Sunday to Thursday and 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. on Friday and Saturday, according to its website. El Puerto de Vallarta is replacing Z Town Asian Gastro Bar & Restaurant , which closed after a shooting in 2025. The eatery will take over a 2,500-square-feet storefront, according to

Gourmet taco truck favored by former Sacramento Kings player to open Auburn cantina
A popular gourmet taco truck, a personal favorite of former Sacramento Kings point guard De’Aaron Fox, is launching its first storefront. Banzito’s Tacos will open a cantina in the heart of old town Auburn at 216 Washington St. Owner Adam Saldaña said the truck’s signature is its cheese curds on top of its gourmet tacos. Saldaña said his love for cooking can be traced back to his mother. She was an “extravagant host,” inviting family over and having a menu posted on the dining room wall. Food was a passion for her, and as Saldaña helped her in the kitchen, it became his passion too. “Anybody that knows me knows I’ve been cooking my whole life,” Saldaña said. “I always cook for friends, barbecues, potlucks...it just stuck with me.” It wasn’t until the COVID-19 pandemic that his culinary hobby became a possible career. He began experimenting with flavor combinations, everything from green enchilada tacos to grilled bacon-wrapped jalapenos filled with cream cheese. He later took his dishes to farmers markets, and eventually, outside the Golden 1 Center. Banzito’s Tacos caught the eye of Fox, who played for the Kings from 2017 to 2025. Saldaña would later serve his tacos at

Dine with the dearly departed at these Sacramento Día de los Muertos dinners
The first two days of November mark Día de los Muertos, a Mexican holiday of remembrance of friends, family and pets who have died.
