The bbq chicken tacos are pretty amazing. Especially with the honey habanero sauce! Great vibe as well.

This place is great. Not your normal taco bar. The owner was fantastic. Full of personality and offered great service. He is quite the character and artist. If you're looking for something boring, this ain't it.
We went here for a date night not knowing what to really expect. We were welcomed immediately by the OWNER. I can’t begin to explain the welcoming environment. Tacos are to die for (trust me, I’m from Texas), Rita’s are OMG. Definitely recommend

Amazing tacos, great vibe, excellent hot sause...+ very cool original art
We found our new favorite spot!!! Who needs more than tacos???? They are AMAZING, and you can choose what you want on them!! So many options... utter perfection!The bartender/owner became my instant best friend and so did Tom the cook. They care, they try hard to make this place fun, warm and welcoming and we could tell!!! The vibe is wonderful. Incredible, creative cocktail selection as well. This is exactly the kind of place that you hope you'll stumble across someday. What's not to love??!!? We will be back!!! 🥰
Absolutely fantastic hole in the wall. Tacos and hot sauces were lights out. Also, delicious Honey Habanero Margaritas.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Such an awesome spot! The atmosphere is fun and welcoming, the food is delicious (the tacos were amazing), and the drinks were on point. CA and the crew made the experience even better with their friendly, attentive, and engaging service. It really feels like a true Norfolk/VB local experience. Perfect for visitors or locals alike — and don’t forget to check out the artwork and buy a piece to take the experience home with you! Highly recommend if you’re looking for great food, great people, and a unique vibe!
Amazing food, atmosphere, and service. You could come here to just get tacos (make sure to get the sanctuary shell) or creative cocktails. Or both! The happy hour is great 4-8 each day and very well priced, and the artsy vibe in this Neon District is to die for. Will definitely be back again.

What a cool spot! Their tacos are fantastic. I especially enjoyed their shrimp tacos. The bartender and waitress were very attentive to our needs. We definitely will return.
Excellent tacos, but no sides that I know of, just tacos. Decent bar and conveniently right across from a brewery. A small but cool place to quietly hang out.
As you walk in to Sanctuary, you begin to realize you are setting foot on a rivalry battleground of establishments just trying to serve the community. As nice as the service was, we felt like caged birds of paradise. Recommend for a one time, cross off the list visit.

Good tacos, Big tacos had to leave some as they are larger than I expected.
