We here at SACtoday love a lot of things — it’s hard not to in a city this great — but if we had to narrow it down to only two, saving money and eating delicious food would be our picks.

With that in mind, today we’ve got a whole week of restaurant specials to make your stomach growl.

Meatball Monday 🍝

Obo’ Italian Table and Bar, 3145 Folsom Blvd., 11:30 a.m.-8 p.m.

Start off your week with some tasty Italian eats from Obo, where you can score a deal on pairing an order of meatballs with pizza, pasta, or polenta (you can also get a meatball sandwich, but that really ruins the alliteration we were going for).

Taco Tuesday 🌮

Chando’s Tacos, Locations vary, 10 a.m.-9 p.m.

You can’t go wrong with any taco choice in Sacramento, but our personal favorites come from Chando’s, where every Tuesday you can score a prime price on a trio of tacos, chips, and a drink.

Wing Wednesday 🍗

Uncle Vito’s, 1800 15th St., 5 p.m.-12 a.m.

Come for the pizza or fried mac and cheese, stay for the half-priced wings every Wednesday — which come covered in your choice of Buffalo, garlic, or Thai chili sauce.

Thirsty Thursday 🍻

Usually, by this stage of the week, it’s time to rally your squad for a little happy hour bonding and pick-me-up over some cold beverages. Our happy hour guide has you covered with 18 places to score a drink deal for Thirsty Thursday.

Food Truck Friday 🚚

SactoMoFo, 722 Capitol Mall, 11 a.m.-1:30 p.m.

Every Friday, a new set of food trucks can be found at Capitol Mall for lunch, courtesy of local catering company SactoMoFo. Be sure to check the calendar to see who will be serving up food, along with other times and locations food trucks can be found.

Ranked
  • No. 15. That’s how Sacramento ranked on a list of America’s Best Taco Cities from real estate company Clever. One of the metrics used was a city’s “taco passion” determined through Google searches for terms like “Taco Tuesday,” “tacos near me,” and “taco recipe.” 🌮 (Clever)
Edu
  • Happy birthday, Sacramento State. The university celebrated 75 years of classes — and school president Robert Nelsen spoke about the university’s accomplishments in a recent ceremony. Since he recently tested positive for COVID-19, Robert spoke virtually — but a cardboard cut-out of him was in attendance. 🎉 (Sac Bee)
  • Rocklin’s Quarry Trail Elementary is the latest school in California to adopt an immersive, dual-language curriculum — one of an estimated 800+. The program teaches students in English half the time and in Spanish the other half. 📝 (Sac Bee)
Environment
  • No Lorax here, just a group of Blue Diamond growers trying out their new environmentally-friendly practices. With a $45 million grant in place, the almond company will work on farming methods that pull carbon emissions out of the atmosphere. Cleaner air may also help crop-friendly insects like bees. (Sacramento Inno)
Concert
  • The UC Davis music department will resume its free performances now that fall classes are in full swing. The free concerts run for roughly an hour, beginning at noon each Thursday in the Pitzer Center’s recital hall. See the fall quarter’s lineup. 🎼 (Davis Enterprise)
Opening
  • Now that’s amore, Seniore’s Pizza plans to expand beyond the Bay Area and make its way to South Sac with a location at 8250 Calvine Rd. The new outpost will change part of the menu by preparing food halal. A grand opening is set for Oct. 1. 🍕 (Sacramento Business Journal)
Closed
  • Direct Delivery Service Inc. — a Sac-based shipping company — has permanently closed its locations in Sacramento, San Joaquin, and Contra Costa counties, resulting in 139 layoffs. The closure comes after the potential loss of the company’s contract with Amazon. (Sacramento Business Journal)
Biz
  • Local cannabis company Phinest Cannabis will turn its former 5,000-sqft Natomas location into a new breeding facility for plants. Earlier this year, the company moved to a new 40,000-sqft tissue culture nursery, which was developed for more than $12 million. 🌱 (Sacramento Inno)
