Best Tacos that I have found, especially the Sanctuary shell. Christian and his crew offer top notch service and a great atmosphere, his taste in music is, in my humble opinion, fantastic. Love this place.

Sanctuary isn’t just a taco bar it’s Norfolk’s flavor playground! One bite of their chicken bbq and beef tacos and you’ll understand why locals call it a hidden gem. Between the eclectic art on the walls and the art in their plates, this place proves that tacos can be both delicious and downright inspiring. Come hungry, leave happy, and maybe even with a painting under your arm. Fantastic tacos, cool attentive staff and interesting atmosphere!

The manager, Christian, greeted us upon arrival and was so gracious and accommodating. The food was awesome with generous portions. And the margaritas....yum! Highly recommend the honey habanero marg. *chef's kiss*. Cool vibe, fun music, neat art and good food... Worth every penny! Didn't let the location fool you... It's off the beaten path but still easily accessible. Highly recommend!

If you are looking for a great atmosphere and fantastic people, look no further. First time stopping in and they treat you like family! My wife and I were craving tacos and saw this place pop up on Google so we decided to check it out. The directions are a little off because the restaurant is on the side of the building. Its a medium small atmosphere with bar seating and a couple tables for a bit larger parties. The staff greeted us with open arms and even the owner introduced himself. They took our drink orders right away and gave us the quick and easy rundown of the ordering process for building some absolutely delicious tacos. We placed or orders and within about 10-15 minutes dinner was served. They check to make sure your good and even have a bit of a conversation with you if you choose. The art is all done by the owner and it's a really cool perspective on stuff so I made sure to pick one up. Really enjoyed the visit and looking forward to stopping in again and trying to bring some friends. Thanks for making our date night that much better you all are great!

While the tacos were tasty, we ordered soft tacos, but yet it came as half crispy tacos. 🤷🏻♂️ why not offer a corn tortilla. Had I know they were gonna toast my flour tortilla which drys out the tortilla where it’s not soft anymore , which is truly not Hispanic , I would of ordered hard tacos 🤷🏻♂️I thought that place was gonna be good. Service and staff were great, atmosphere pretty cool. But with five dollars a taco I should be getting an extra extraordinary taco not just a Taco Bell taco which probably would’ve been better than this. I will most likely not go back to this place. I don’t know how it got a 4.7 rating. maybe the owners pay people to give good ratings🤷🏻♂️ 57 dollars for some hard to eat tacos.

This place is awesome. Food was fantastic. Had pulled pork, shrimp, and bbq chicken tacos and along with the sauces all 3 were excellent. Margarita was off the charts. The atmosphere and artwork is incredible. We had the pleasure to meet the owner/artist and left with full tummies and an amazing print of our favorite piece. Can’t wait to come back.
