New Las Vegas-area grocery store location popular among Hispanics amid federal crackdowns
LAS VEGAS (KLAS) – A grocery store popular among Hispanics opened its doors Wednesday in Las Vegas amid a federal immigration crackdown across the country. The new Superior Grocers is located at 390 South Decatur Boulevard. It's the California-based store's 74th location and the second in the Las Vegas valley. Nevada is the only other state with a Superior Grocers, which started in Los Angeles in 1981. 'We obviously focus highly on the Hispanic, but we also cater to whatever is in the community, so we do our homework,' Miguel Alarco, Vice President of Operations of Superior Grocers, said on Wednesday. Superior Grocers opened amid a nationwide Immigration and Customs Enforcement crackdown that has led to the closure of the Broadacres Marketplace in North Las Vegas. 8 News Now asked Miguel Alarco of Superior Grocers if that was a concern. 'We're not concerned personally from what I can see; it's not impacting here as much as it is in California,' Alarco said. 'But no, there's no concern. I think because of the fact that we're diverse, we should be able to offset some of that.' Nearly one in five Nevadans are immigrants and more than half of the immigrants are naturalized citizens. Economic Policy Institute Elizabeth Mercha was shopping with her husband and 8 News Now asked her if she was concerned over ICE crackdowns. 'I am here legally, so it is something that does not concern me at all,' Mercha said in Spanish. 'If you come illegally, try to quickly solve your problem of getting your papers in order to avoid these types of inconveniences.' Joaquin Avila was another shopper, and 8 News Now asked him if he was worried about the ICE arrests. 'No, not much. Yes, there is some concern. But I don't think they can come to this type of store, which is already a source of income for the family,' Avila said in Spanish. Superior Grocers is planning to expand to other locations in Las Vegas, according to Miguel Alarco. The grocery store presented a check to several groups during Wednesday's grand opening, with Red Rock Elementary School and Griffith Elementary School receiving funds.

Smash Burger Restaurant Gets an Opening Date on the Las Vegas Strip
The Cosmopolitan has been without a dedicated burger restaurant ever since Holsteins closed in July 2024. This changes as of Monday, July 28, when Naughty Patty's opens its doors at the Block 16 Urban Food Hall, near China Poblano. The casual, retro-style spot leans into Las Vegas's ongoing obsession with smash burgers, serving thin, lacy patties with nearly caramelized edges. The burgers are made from a blend of ground chuck and brisket, seared and topped with lettuce, tomato, and raw onion, plus a citrusy yuzu and sesame oil sauce. The anticipated restaurant will also serve chili-style hot dogs, crispy grilled cheese sandwiches, and seasoned fries tossed in furikake. For dessert, thick concretes come loaded with toppings in nostalgic flavors like Oreo and strawberry shortcake. Naughty Patty's will be open daily from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Naughty Patty's. Janna Karel Dave's Hot Chicken Opens at the Airport Travelers flying out of Harry Reid International Airport's Terminal D — like those on American, Delta, and Frontier — can soon grab spicy sandwiches before takeoff. Dave's Hot Chicken opens its first airport location on Friday, July 18, debuting a breakfast menu for the first time. Offerings will include hot chicken and waffles, breakfast sliders with eggs, and burritos stuffed with hot chicken and hashbrowns. LA Rice Bowl Restaurant Opens Another Vegas Location Los Angeles-based rice bowl chain, WaBa Grill, opened another Southern Nevada location on Monday, July 14, at 7060 South Durango Drive #115 near West Warm Springs Road. Menu items include chicken rice bowls, salmon with steamed vegetables, shrimp tacos, and dumplings. Superior Grocers Opens Another Las Vegas Location It's been a banner year for regional grocers in Las Vegas. Following the recent arrivals of H-Mart and Aldi, Southern California-based Superior Grocers will open its second local store on Wednesday, July 23, at 390 South Decatur Boulevard, near West Charleston.

MS-13 gangsters in LA killed member who was FBI informant, feds say
LOS ANGELES — Herlyn Barrientos wasn't happy to run into a fellow member of his gang in the produce section of his local grocery store. A burly man with tattoos inked on his head and face, Barrientos was from MS-13, a group notorious for savage killings. Federal prosecutors alleged the Honduran national, nicknamed 'Doctorazo,' supplied methamphetamine to MS-13 members across Los Angeles, who sold the drug and kicked up a cut to the gang's imprisoned leader. Charged with drug trafficking in 2023, Barrientos decided to turn on his gang and cooperate with the FBI. A judge signed off on his release from jail, and Barrientos, 47, returned to South Los Angeles. Federal prosecutors on Friday announced three reputed MS-13 members are charged with killing Barrientos on the orders of gang leaders. Barrientos' deal was supposed to remain secret, but the FBI now says Barrientos' status as an informant was 'widely' known, calling into question why he was still living in his old neighborhood when he was killed on Feb. 18. An FBI spokeswoman declined to comment. Just before his death, Barrientos called an FBI agent to report seeing a man with a gun, the handler wrote in an affidavit. The agent said he was on the phone with Barrientos as he was shot to death. 'It's a terrible thing what happened to him,' said Michael Crain, an attorney who represented Barrientos in his drug trafficking case. Crain declined to comment further. The affidavit said evidence made clear Barrientos was killed because he was cooperating. After his death, another informant working for the FBI called the leader of Barrientos' MS-13 clique, who said people higher up in the gang had given him instructions: 'They told me I had to clean out my garbage, you understand?' 'That work you cannot say no to,' he said, according to the affidavit. Around 7 p.m. on the last day of his life, Barrientos drove to a Superior Grocers on Figueroa and 91st streets, Joseph Carelli, an FBI special agent, wrote in an affidavit. A black SUV followed Barrientos into the parking lot. Three men stepped out of the SUV and entered the store. In the produce section, they appeared to exchange greetings with Barrientos, Carelli wrote, citing footage from store cameras. One of the three men, identified by Carelli as Roberto Carlos Aguilar, walked away and started making calls. Aguilar is a Salvadoran national who illegally entered the United States, a spokesman for the U.S. attorney's office in Los Angeles said. Aguilar and Barrientos talked in the parking lot of the grocery store for about 30 minutes, Carelli wrote. Aguilar got two calls during that time that went to voicemail. One was from Dennis Anaya Urias, a legal permanent resident of the U.S. and reputed member of MS-13's Bagos clique, according to Carelli and the U.S. attorney's office spokesman. Barrientos was also from the Bagos clique, a subset of MS-13 that is based in the Mid-City neighborhood, Carelli wrote. T-Mobile records showed that Urias' phone traveled from Koreatown to the area of the Superior Grocers around 7:50 p.m., when surveillance footage showed a gray Honda CR-V parked across from the store, according to the agent. Aguilar, meanwhile, walked off and Barrientos called 911. He told the operator he'd seen a man armed with a pistol. The suspect wore black, his face covered by a handkerchief, Barrientos said. Barrientos then called Carelli, his handler. A man whose face was covered just tried to shoot him, he told the agent, but the gun didn't go off. As they were talking, Carelli heard gunshots. Barrientos stopped responding. The agent heard the sounds of police and other first responders in the background, he wrote. A month later, California Highway Patrol officers found a burned CR-V in North Hollywood, Carelli wrote. The agent believed the car was the one shown in surveillance footage driven by Barrientos' killers. Arrested on May 12, Urias — whose phone records showed he'd traveled from Koreatown to South L.A. just before the shooting — told a jailhouse informant the order to kill Barrientos came 'straight from the top,' Carelli wrote. Urias said he and another MS-13 member, Grevil Zelaya Santiago, got a call from Aguilar, who said he'd found the 'son of a whore,' according to the agent. Urias said he and Zelaya drove in the CR-V to South L.A., covered their faces and shot Barrientos to death, Carelli wrote. Attorneys for Urias and Zelaya didn't immediately return request for comment. It wasn't clear who was representing Aguilar. All three defendants have pleaded not guilty to charges of murder in aid of racketeering. _____ ©2025 Los Angeles Times. Visit Distributed by Tribune Content Agency, LLC.
