Sanctuary

Lets TACO about it! (Like what I did there? )I love Sanctuary and if it was appropriate, I would eat here every day! They have reasonably priced street tacos and great drinks. The vibe of the establishment is amazing! The workers are very nice and great to talk to. They get you your food extremely fast. I need to catch them on a day where they have the shrimp tacos but my favorite is the pulled chicken. 1000000/10 recommend.

Location: This spot is in a good location for people who have children. I wouldn't recommend this place during the winter because indoor seating is limited. However, there's a playground just outside that can be utilized during the summer.Vibes: The Sanctuary definitely has its own vibe. It's very baresque, and there are a variety of alcoholic drinks you can choose from. It's dark inside with list of canvas art, that all have a similar look. It's not very busy during the day especially in the winter, so you can get away with eating inside.Food: As far as food goes, this place wasn't expensive at all. I ordered a taco bowl which was filling. I will say it's bar food and not anything compared to a Mexican restaurant taco. However, you're given a menu which you can choose what you want in your taco or bowl. This can be protein and toppings. The food was fresh, and that made it feel light and nutritious. It was missing some flavor was a little lackluster for seasoning. The hot sauce at the table were good, but not a personal favorite. Overall:This place had cheap food and alcohol. It will fill you up, and you can enjoy yourself and have a quick drink if you have kids. I would not come back, but it was a nice experience to try.

After a full day at the Stockley Gardens art festival, we stopped by Sanctuary in downtown Norfolk for some tacos, hoping to wrap up the day with a good snack. The place has a dive bar feel, which, while charming in its own way, wasn't exactly buzzing with the post-festival crowd--we were pretty much the only people there. It felt like a spot more geared toward the late-night scene than a place to grab bites after an art festival.As for the tacos, they were... fine, but definitely not the standout we'd hoped for. They reminded me of classic "white people taco night" tacos--simple, straightforward, and lacking the bold flavors you'd expect. The real highlight, though, was their selection of hot sauces, which took the tacos up a notch and made them worth it. Without those sauces, the flavors would've fallen pretty flat, so definitely check out their sauce options if you go.The staff, however, were truly excellent--attentive, friendly, and quick to make us feel welcome, even in the quieter afternoon setting. We also lucked out with the outdoor seating, which was perfect for enjoying the fall day and the lingering Indian summer. Between the attentive service and relaxed outdoor space, it was a pleasant spot to unwind, even if the food didn't quite steal the show.

Highly recommended if you're a taco fan! $4 tacos!? And they're super stuffed! I recommend the BBQ chicken tacos and make sure u add Cole slaw or at least get the slaw as a side... so good!Sanctuary is a local bar.. definitely gives neighborhood bar vibes. This is a small establishment but there is indoor and outdoor seating! The staff is super nice and attentive. There was a good mix of people here - all ages and race. I love a good culture mix wherever I go! I could come here alone after a long day for some me time or a group and enjoy myself either way. Good vibes! Will definitely be back!

The atmosphere is great with music and great service and the food is amazing!!! And the owners are just super nice and fun people and this place was just amazing!

Very enjoyable grunge bar and taco stop this Tuesday for lunch and beers. We sat at the long and narrow bar. There are benches and parking out back. I went with two ground beef tacos and my wife had two taco bowls, one bean and one ground beef. Food was average, but I thoroughly enjoyed the vibe, the music and the four wide screen TVs, showing silent YouTube videos. My wife was not as impressed as I was with the venue, but this is my review and, hence, my rating. BTW: service was attentive and friendly.

Had an OK experience here. We decided to just grab tacos, as we were interested in the brewery across the street (and it wasn't immediately obvious to me what the bar had on draft). The ordering process was a little unusual in that we had to fill out paper forms with details on the tacos we wanted. I guess this kind of thing isn't totally unconventional but I do think it would have been faster if the server had just taken our order normally, since she had to explain how to fill out the form, one of my friends screwed up and wrote down the wrong information, etc. :)The tacos weren't bad! Pretty tasty and reasonably priced, although I can't say they were incredible. For example, I'm pretty sure the server mentioned that the taco shells were store bought - they tasted just fine but it would have been awesome if they were fresh.Not sure I'll be back here but it's maybe worth a visit, especially if you like foosball (it's apparently a hot spot for that!).

If you're looking for some good service and most importantly tacos in a Tuesday. Sanctuary is the spot to go.I can only imagine what it's like here once the summer begins to hit. It's off the cut of Granby street.If you blink you will miss it. Definitely put in your gps so you don't miss it.Service was fast and the food and margarita were flavorful.I will definitely be back.

Felt very unwelcome, the service was not great and the tacos were okay but not hot. Tried to interact with the bartender but it seemed like we were being irritating to them.

Tacos are great, perfect dive bar. Can get crowded, but there is seating outside that would be fine for when the weather is good.
